A trampoline in the garden encourages children to stay active outdoors. They can let off steam, jump, laugh, and keep trying new things. Frezzo offers a wide selection of high-quality trampolines in various sizes, shapes, and designs – so you can find the perfect model for your family.
Trampolines
Trampoline for children – jump, play and have fun
A trampoline quickly becomes the centrepiece of the garden: for short jumping breaks, long afternoons with friends, or shared moments with the whole family. It motivates children to be active outdoors independently and voluntarily. While jumping, balance, coordination and body control are playfully developed, and excess energy is naturally released.
The benefits at a glance:
• Promotes balance, coordination and body control
• Strengthens muscles and enjoyment of movement
• Supports the natural urge to move
• Provides active fun in your own garden
Good to know: to keep jumping safe, clear rules and the right equipment are essential. Safety nets and padded edge covers help ensure that children can jump safely while parents can watch with peace of mind.
Which trampoline for the garden?
Trampolines differ not only in size, but also in shape, installation type, and bounce characteristics. The best option depends on who will use the trampoline, how much space is available in the garden, and how intensively it will be used.
Shape and bounce characteristics
- Round trampolines are especially suitable for classic bouncing and playful use in everyday family life. Their shape naturally guides the jump towards the centre, making bouncing easier, more controlled, and more comfortable for many children.
- Rectangular trampolines offer a more even and dynamic jumping surface. They are often chosen by older children or by those who jump more actively and want to perform more controlled, precise movements.
Installation type in the garden
- Trampolines on legs can be positioned flexibly in the garden. They are usually easier to assemble and do not require any ground work. This makes them especially practical if you want to change their location later on.
- In-ground trampolines blend harmoniously into the garden landscape. The low entry makes getting on and off easier and is often perceived as particularly safe by many families. However, installation requires digging into the ground.
Tips for choosing the right trampoline
To ensure long-lasting enjoyment and safe use, it’s worth considering the following points:
Size and space requirements
The larger the jumping surface, the more freedom of movement. At the same time, enough space should be planned around the trampoline. A minimum clearance of around two metres is recommended to ensure safe entry, exit, and use.
Stability, frame and support
A sturdy frame and stable legs are especially important – particularly during energetic jumping. The trampoline should be placed on a flat, non-slip surface, such as grass.
Safety net and edge padding
A safety net helps prevent falls. Padded edge covers further reduce the risk of contact with springs or the frame.
Maximum weight and use
Pay attention to the specified maximum user weight and use the trampoline accordingly. This helps maintain both comfort and safety over time.
Trampoline safety – clear rules for everyday use
With a few simple rules and the right equipment, trampoline fun can be enjoyed safely in everyday life.
A stable setup is essential: the trampoline should be placed on level ground and checked regularly to ensure it is secure. Safety nets and edge padding must be properly installed and in good condition to provide effective protection. A quick safety check from time to time, for example after strong winds or intensive use, helps maintain long-term safety.
In daily use, clear and easy-to-understand rules have proven effective. Especially important:
- Allow only one child at a time to jump to avoid collisions.
- Jump in the centre of the trampoline and avoid movements near the edges.
- Avoid risky jumps or flips unless sufficient experience is present.
- No food, chewing gum, or drinks while jumping to prevent choking or slipping.
- Only jump on a dry trampoline, as moisture significantly increases the risk of slipping.
- Younger children should always be supervised while jumping.
Breaks are also important. Tiredness reduces control over movement. Short pauses help maintain focus and safety.
For jumping, comfortable clothing is recommended, along with bare feet or non-slip socks. Jewellery, hard objects or toys should be removed beforehand to keep the trampoline free of hazards.
FAQ – Do you have questions about trampolines?
At what age is a trampoline suitable?
Trampoline jumping is not recommended for children under six years of age. At this age, the bone structure is not yet strong enough to safely absorb repeated jumping movements. Motor skills and body control are also often not sufficiently developed in preschool children.
How much space do I need for a trampoline in the garden?
There should be sufficient free space around the trampoline. A minimum distance of two metres from walls, fences, trees, or other obstacles is recommended.
Can multiple children jump at the same time?
For safety reasons, only one child should jump on the trampoline at a time. Multiple children significantly increase the risk of painful collisions and uncontrolled movements. Especially when children have different body weights, the catapult effect can cause the lighter child to be launched uncontrollably.
How do I secure a trampoline in windy conditions?
A trampoline can generally withstand short gusts of wind. However, in stronger winds it should be anchored to the ground. To reduce wind resistance, the safety net can be removed. In very strong gusts or storms, the safest option is to temporarily dismantle the trampoline and not use it until the weather conditions improve.
Is trampoline jumping good for children?
Trampoline jumping promotes movement, coordination and body awareness in children and motivates them to be active outdoors on a regular basis. However, it is important that trampolines are used in an age-appropriate way, that clear rules are followed, and that safety during setup, maintenance and use always remains a priority.
