- Know how much weight the trampoline is rated for. Even though only one user should be on a trampoline at a time, knowing the weight load is important.
- Buy an enclosure at the same time you buy your trampoline. A trampoline enclosure should be considered a necessity, not a luxury purchase
- Make certain you have enough space in your yard for the trampoline. Measure the area where you want to place the trampoline -- whether inground or above ground. The reason you need to find an ideal space for the trampoline is to ensure there are no overhead obstructions -- trees, roof overhangs, etc.
7 Things To Look For When Buying A Trampoline
- Make note of the safety features that are built-in, or available for purchase with your trampoline. At a minimum, you want to ensure the springs are strong, that the jump mat is of high quality and that the padding to cover the springs is in place.
- Research the company from whom you're buying the trampoline and research the particular model of the trampoline you're purchasing.
- Check on the warranty. There will likely be warranties for the mat, the springs, the frame and more. Each warranty may be different and have specific exclusions -- make sure you understand what they are.
- Buy a trampoline for which replacement parts are readily available for purchase if you need them.
