Installation, safety & care tips

Setting up your trampoline correctly and taking proper care of it ensures a safe and reliable play experience. Before you bounce, here are some things to keep in mind:

Choose a flat, level surface. Grass is the best fit, as it provides better stability for jumping than concrete.

Allow for at least 7.3m of overhead clearance and 2m of space around the edges for safe bouncing.

Assembly typically takes 1–2 hours with two adults.

Once it’s up, keep your trampoline in top shape with regular maintenance checks on the springs, bolts, and safety netting.

For year-round protection, use a cover when not in use or disassemble and store it indoors.

Follow seasonal care tips to keep your trampoline looking and performing its best, such as removing debris, wiping it with mild soapy water, and checking the springs and frame for rust.

Superfly X 15ft Trampoline

“Purchased as a Christmas present for 2024. It's a definite upgrade from our previous 12ft trampoline. This one is huge. Took two of us to put up, but with very little swearing lol. Fair to say, so far so good. It's been a huge hit with our boys aged 6 and 8, and they are loving the extra space. It's robust, quality and safe.”

Frequently asked questions

What size trampoline is best for my backyard?

The best trampoline size depends on your yard space and the age of the jumpers. The most important factor is ensuring you have enough clearance around your trampoline; at least 2m on all sides reduces the risk of injury. For small families with young kids and compact backyards, an 8ft to 10ft trampoline provides endless fun while accommodating your space and children's jumping abilities. For larger spaces and families with older kids, 12ft to 15ft trampolines are a great investment.

Are trampolines safe for young children?

Trade Tested trampolines are built with safety front of mind, featuring a tough galvanised steel frame that keeps the structure stable and secure, even during energetic play. Each model also includes durable mesh netting that connects directly to the jumping mat, sturdy ladders for easy access, and PVC safety pads that cover the springs. While our trampolines are designed for maximum safety, we always recommend supervising young children while they jump.

What is the recommended clearance space for a trampoline?

Safekids Aotearoa recommends a minimum of 2m of clearance around the edge of your trampoline, and a minimum upper clearance of 7.3m. Never place your trampoline directly next to a fence, wall or other obstruction without following these guidelines.

Can I leave my trampoline outside all year round?

While you can leave your trampoline outside during the off-season, we highly recommend weather-proofing it and keeping up regular maintenance to prolong its lifespan. This can include using a cover for protection, storing the net, and regularly removing leaves, dirt, and debris buildup. You should also check that no springs or screws have become loose or damaged from rain and tighten or replace them accordingly.

Do trampolines come with accessories?

All Trade Tested trampolines are designed with safety netting and ladders. You can also shop for additional accessories, such as basketball hoop add-ons, trick scooters and shade covers.

How do I clean and maintain my trampoline mat and padding?

It doesn’t take much to keep your trampoline in great condition! First, remove any loose debris and hose it down. Then, mix warm water and a mild soap and give the mat and padding a good wipe with a cloth, ensuring you remove all excess soap. Repeat every two months, or whenever your trampoline needs it. Never use harsh chemicals on any part of your trampoline.
