Whether you\u2019re after a best-buy unit or want top of the line gear, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
But first, it\u2019s time to give you the quick rundown on the basic parts of the trampoline and things to watch out for. Even though we stand behind our reviews, we encourage everyone to understand the inner workings of trampolines in order to reach an informed decision.

Best Backyard Trampolines in Australia<\/h2>\nSpringfree Large Oval<\/h3>\n
Weight limit:<\/strong> 115 kg<\/p>\n The 2.4\u00d74m springless oval trampoline is the cream of the crop in many ways \u2013 both technological and aesthetic. The first thing you\u2019ll notice on this trampoline is its sleek look with its curved lines \u2013 and the fact that there are no springs!<\/strong><\/p>\n The frame can handle structural load of enormous 1100 lbs, which is more than 500 kg. Double layer of powder coating on pregalvanized steel ensures that rust will never appear on this trampoline. We guarantee that even after several years not just the frame, but complete trampoline will look just as same as new one.<\/p>\n Without standard steel springs, there is great looking 60 composite rods. As you might think why would anyone use fiberglass on trampolines, well, there is perfect reason to do so. Not only it looks cool, it greatly reduces chances of injury (as much as 35%, according to research about injuries involving frame or springs). Yes, the trampoline works with the help of fiberglass rods provides a safer and more consistent bounce. The beautiful part about these rods is that they are situated completely under the mat. There is no need for any pads to protect the jumper, as it\u2019s simply impossible to land on them and this lets the net be as close as possible to the edge of the mat<\/p>\n The mat is made of polypropylene, and there is 92 sq. ft. (8.5 m2) of jumping space, which equivalent 10 x 15ft oval trampoline with springs. It is very shock absorbent and bouncing on it is really pleasant. Regarding bounce, we have nothing bad to say as it is close to being best among recreational trampolines, but still not so high as with mid-class rectangle trampolines, such as ACON Air 16 Sports HD or AlleyOOP PowerBounce.<\/p>\n Regarding safety. there\u2019s hardly a safer trampoline on the market. Plus, it\u2019s oval and there\u2019s not many of those on the market. Springfree trampolines are in general one of the best-quality trampolines on the market, and it shows in this case too. They will cost you, and this one is no exception. But if you can afford it \u2013 go for it.<\/p>\n Weight limit:<\/strong> 330 lbs<\/p>\n The Lift 2 is a step up from the Vuly Ultra and Lite<\/strong> and contains a bit more bells and whistles. Design-wise, the electric yellow and blue mat (just flip it over to change color) looks fresh and eye catching (stick to the yellow version). Frame has an additional layer of powder coating making it pleasing to the eye \u2013 while preventing rust and salt damage at the same time.<\/p>\n In a nutshell, it comes with a tightly woven enclosure, exceedingly durable mat, additional safety features and an improved two-tiered spring system. If that sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo, it shouldn\u2019t \u2013 all the features greatly improve the usability of the trampoline and aren\u2019t there just for show.<\/p>\n Well, except for the Vuly HexVex. It is an interesting \u201cgame\u201d that essentially consists of icons printed onto the mat. It wouldn\u2019t even be that bad in an of itself, but the printing is quick to wear off. Even during the review, it already showed some slight signs of wear.<\/p>\n The netting truly is good with super tiny holes. It\u2019s as safe as they say: digits cannot get stuck in there. There\u2019s also the UV resistance, which is something we cannot really verify, but there is no reason to distrust the manufacturer at this point.<\/p>\n The enclosure is self closing, so there is no fiddling about with Velcro straps or zippers.<\/p>\n The springs themselves aren\u2019t that long in fact, but the two-tiered system helps stabilize the bounce and improve responsiveness. They are a bit wider than the competition, and the metal is thicker as well. The mechanism basically consists of two rows of springs, where one row is slightly below the other. If you weigh more, you\u2019ll get a strong push from the bottom row too instead of a single slam onto the mat.<\/p>\n A plus: a basketball hoop is available, which can greatly enhance the fun. It\u2019s not even that difficult to set up. The assembly doesn\u2019t include nuts and bolts. Watch out for special promo sales as they often provide their tent, ladders, shades and similar accessories free of charge, so you’ll get it extra with a trampoline. Have in mind that Vuly offers all replacement parts with 50% discount, if that spin can be called like that (only customers without trampoline would pay full price (basically consumers aren’t getting any discount and wholesalers are charged double).<\/p>\n When looking at trampolines, bear in mind that the trampoline is as good as its weakest link. A killer mat is no good if the springs are unresponsive and prone to rust. A tall enclosure is a letdown when the poles holding it are all flimsy. Believe us \u2013 it happens, and there are unscrupulous manufacturers banking on this lack of information, as most casual shoppers aren\u2019t really aware of what to look out for.<\/p>\n We always point out these issues in our reviews, as this may not be apparent at first. Some trampolines look simply fantastic but are a real disappointment under the hood with shoddy welding and horrible quality control \u2013 and we want to help you avoid it.<\/p>\n Regardless of the shape and intended use of your trampoline, you should first check if the rated weight is enough to support you (or whoever will use the trampoline). Add at least 10 to 20% additional safety margin just to be sure.<\/p>\n Then, check if the frame is galvanized. Galvanization is a good way of preventing rust (and failure) of metal parts. This is particularly essential if you don\u2019t want to use covers or plan on leaving your trampoline outside all year long.<\/p>\n After that, look at the accessories. Do you have smaller kids that would have trouble getting on the trampoline? Then you need a ladder. Perhaps they\u2019d like to play some trampoline games? Consider buying trampolines with a hoop or something similar.<\/p>\n Bounce is often subjective, but generally when it comes to springs \u2013 the more the merrier. This rough rule of thumb will rarely let you down, but pay attention to the length as well. Lengthier springs make for a more comfortable but also higher bounce.<\/p>\n Oh, and don\u2019t forget the enclosure. It should be tall enough that you shouldn\u2019t be able to bounce over it. If it is, you either need another trampoline or you\u2019re a pro who knows what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n Trampolines come in a variety of sizes. Some are super tiny (think up to 4 feet), while some range up to 16 feet in diameter. Obviously then, there\u2019s a huge variety of trampolines and use cases for a variety of sizes.<\/p>\n Despite a large array of sizes, trampolines can roughly be categorized into indoor<\/b> (smallest)<\/b> and outdoor<\/b> (larger)<\/b> trampolines. Kids\u2019 trampolines occupy the middle ground at about 6-8 feet or so and can be used both indoor and outdoors. Anything bigger than this would fit right within “outdoor trampolines” category. If you want to learn more, check our guide about Types of Trampolines<\/a>.<\/p>\n These trampolines mostly come in 10 to 16 feet sizes, with 12 and 14 being the most common options. The number of choices here is extraordinary, from bottom of the barrel, unsafe units to decked-out pro equipment. And the price range? Well, it might shock you \u2013 but you can spend literally as much as you want. Yes, there are pro units that cost as much as a new car \u2013 upwards of A$10k! (but honestly, you don\u2019t really need them in your back yard).<\/p>\n But before you get the case of sticker shock \u2013 we must reassure you that you shouldn\u2019t worry. Good, safe recreational trampolines can be bought for as little as A$400 if you aren\u2019t too fussy about the looks or don\u2019t have any particular demands.<\/p>\n As name suggests, indoor trampolines can be used inside the house. They generally do not have steel legs (if they do it’s enclosed into rubbery plastic so won’t damage the floor). If you plan to use trampoline inside closed spaces then do it wisely \u2013 floor height should be at least several feet more than actual height of a trampoline, as bounce it might provide will catapult you in the air. Don\u2019t forget that! If you are looking for a indoor mini trampoline or smaller kids trampoline, then you\u2019ll be all right, as bounce height can\u2019t be threatening.<\/p>\n Smaller trampolines are usually suitable and rated only for indoor use. They aren\u2019t indented for use by children (even there are some specific models for children and toddlers); instead, mini trampolines \u2013 or rebounders, as they are called \u2013 are used as proper exercise equipment. Rebounders are usually small and foldable to facilitate easy transport to and from your gym or storage when not in use. Rebounding is a set of exercises with plenty of benefits and burns calories very<\/b> efficiently (in fact, this has been proven by NASA research).<\/p>\n Basic rebounders can be found quite cheaply (two-figure amounts) and are thus a fantastic way of finding out what rebounding is all about. Once you\u2019ve decided whether you\u2019re up for it, you\u2019re free to upgrade. Even then, the more advanced rebounders aren\u2019t too expensive and there are good trampolines at medium price points that will last you for years. Most cost as little as a few months\u2019 gym membership, so they make for a very cost-efficient purchase.<\/p>\n When purchasing mini trampolines, pay attention to the extras that come with it \u2013 these are handle bars, resistance bands, workout programs, carrying bags etc. The handle bar is essential for most exercises as you can jump faster when you hold on to the bar and burn more calories. Workout programs have become largely obsolete when you can easily watch them via YouTube, but they could still be more convenient for some.<\/p>\n Cheaper models come with rubber band springs that tend to sag if the jumper is heavy. Look for coil-based springs if you are overweight as they will last longer.<\/p>\n And when the time comes to have some more fun on the trampoline as well, take a look at the outdoor trampolines which the whole family can enjoy.<\/p>\n Do you like an idea of having fun and exercise in the same time? Everybody does!<\/strong><\/p>\n As with every toy they probably had, which they used to play for several hours or days and then ditch into some corner of the room, we have to say that it is no different with trampolines. But, as there is whole bunch of fun game ideas to play we may say that your kids will surely find something they like.<\/p>\n Among 20 games we described here some of them are not really aligned with trampoline safety guidelines<\/a>, especially when it comes to number of people jumping simultaneously, but we strongly feel that games will be played under constant supervision so no problems or issues should occur. So if you need game ideas then check our top list of fun trampoline games<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trampoline is not a kindergarten and never forget that. Constant supervision of jumpers, especially kids, is required at all times. Having a safety enclosure does not change a thing, so please do not leave your children without supervision.
