Younger, lighter users will benefit from shorter springs as these don't require as much force to generate a good bounce. Older, heavier users need longer springs.

Trampolines vary in price for several reasons, more expensive trampolines usually come with longer warranties meaning they are designed to last longer. More expensive trampolines are usually manufactured from heavier-duty materials, again, adding to their estimated lifespan.

Consider the trampoline purchase as an investment, a cheaper trampoline is not likely to last as long and may therefore require replacing sooner than a more expensive trampoline.

All trampoline manufacturers offer warranty periods on the different elements of their trampolines. Generally, the more expensive trampolines have longer warranty periods. Longer warranty periods usually mean a better quality trampoline.

Consider how long you plan to have the trampoline for and select a model that offers a warranty period similar to this.

It is important to note that not all parts of a trampoline have the same warranty period; sewn parts such as the net have lower warranties than steel parts, and this is standard across all trampoline brands and models.

Different trampolines are constructed differently and offer different safety aspects.

Some trampolines have the enclosure net attached on the inside of the safety padding which helps to prevent fingers and toes from accessing the springs and therefore reduces the risk of spring related injuries. These trampolines can feel less spacious than those with the enclosure net on the outside of the padding.

Some trampolines such as the Springfree range are designed without any metal parts at all, eliminating up to 90% of the risk associated with traditional trampolines.

If the trampoline users are young or small, you might wish to consider a trampoline that comes with a ladder or adding a ladder onto your purchase to make it safer for them when entering and exiting the trampoline.

To make sure you get the most out of your trampoline, consider adding accessories such as the JumpPRO Football Goal or a compatible Basketball Hoop, this will provide added play value to the trampoline without taking up any more space in your garden.

You may also wish to consider the availability of spare parts. All trampolines should be inspected regularly, and on occasion, you may require parts that are not offered under the manufacturer's warranty. We have ensured that you will have access to spare parts should you require them for all trampoline brands that we sell.
