Square Trampolines

The springs on square trampolines are made in a crisscross pattern. These crisscross patterns provide a harder bounce because of the distance between the springs.

Thus if you don’t want your kids to bounce too high, this may be an ideal option for you as every time you jump on it, you get the same height in bounce. For the well-being of your family, you always want to look at this factor as a safety precaution.

Kids are unable to control the force that they apply with each jump so a trampoline that prevents them from flying off it’s boundaries is the safest option.
If you are still unsure of this safety mechanism, then you can always add a square trampoline enclosure (usually included) to avoid any falls.

Square vs Rectangle Trampoline
Have in mind that rectangular trampolines offer higher, but for novice users mostly uncontrollable bounce, basically it’s main reason why rectangular’s are mostly preferred by gymnast’s, athletes and very experienced jumpers.

One of other reasons to buy a square trampoline vs rectangular is size of your backyard. Square trampolines are great because of the symmetric design they do not waste much space and are most often used near corners or obstacles. Of course, have in mind that you’ll need to leave clearance of 3 ft around it.

Square trampolines are available in variety of sizes, so you should not have problems choosing one that fits your needs and your backyard!

Our opinion is that square trampolines are combining the best ‘sides’ of the rectangle and round trampolines. It is both safe and spacious (14 ft square is equivalent of 20 ft round), making it a good ground for child play and if required, to exercise.
