Round Trampolines – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why choose a round trampoline over a rectangular or oval one?

Round trampolines are the most popular choice for family back gardens. The circular frame naturally directs jumpers back toward the centre, making them safer for children and beginners. They also tend to be more affordable compared to rectangular trampolines, while still offering excellent bounce quality.

2. What sizes of round trampolines are available?

At Trampolines Ireland, we stock a wide range of round trampolines from compact 6ft models (ideal for smaller gardens or younger children) up to large 16ft trampolines (perfect for bigger families and older kids). The most popular family sizes are 10ft, 12ft, and 14ft.

3. How much space do I need in my garden for a round trampoline?

You should allow at least 1 metre of clearance around the trampoline on all sides. For example, if you’re installing a 12ft trampoline, you’ll need a clear area of roughly 14–15ft in diameter. This ensures safe use and easy access to the trampoline.

4. Are round trampolines safe?

Yes. Round trampolines are considered very safe when used correctly and with proper safety features. All our trampolines include:

Safety enclosures to prevent falls
Padded spring covers
Durable frames tested for stability

We also recommend adult supervision at all times and allowing only one jumper at a time.

5. What ages are round trampolines suitable for?

Round trampolines are suitable for children aged 3+ years, with different sizes matching different age groups:

6–8ft: Younger children (3–7 years)
10–12ft: School-age children and families
14–16ft: Teenagers and multiple users (one at a time)

Always check the maximum weight capacity of the trampoline before purchase.

6. Do round trampolines have a good bounce?

Yes, round trampolines provide a smooth, even bounce. The springs pull evenly around the circular frame, gently guiding jumpers back to the centre. While they don’t have the high “performance bounce” of rectangular trampolines (favoured by gymnasts), they are ideal for recreational use.

7. What weight can a round trampoline hold?

Most round trampolines can safely support between 80kg and 150kg (depending on the size and brand). Larger models typically have higher weight limits. Check the product specifications for exact details.

8. How long will a round trampoline last?

With proper care, a quality trampoline can last 7–10 years or more. To extend lifespan:

Use a weather cover
Store indoors or disassemble during harsh winters
Regularly inspect springs, mat, and enclosure for wear

9. Can round trampolines be used indoors?

Round trampolines up to 6ft in size can be used indoors if you have enough ceiling height and floor space. Larger trampolines are designed for outdoor use only.

10. Are round trampolines easy to assemble?

Yes. Most round trampolines can be assembled at home in 2–3 hours with two adults. We provide full instructions, and our team can arrange professional assembly across Ireland if required.

11. Do you deliver round trampolines across Ireland?

Yes, Trampolines Ireland delivers nationwide, including Northern Ireland. Delivery times vary by product, but most trampolines arrive within 3–5 working days.

12. What accessories are available for round trampolines?

Popular accessories include:

Weather covers
Anchor kits (to secure trampolines in windy conditions)
Ladders for easy access
Basketball hoops for extra fun

13. What warranty comes with a round trampoline?

Warranties vary by brand, but most round trampolines include:

Frame warranty: up to 10 years
Springs & jumping mat: 1–5 years
Enclosure nets & padding: 1–2 years

Check the specific model for details.

14. How do I choose the right size trampoline for my family?

Consider:

Age and number of users
Available garden space
Budget

As a rule of thumb:

Small gardens / younger kids → 8–10ft
Medium gardens / families → 12ft
Large gardens / teens → 14–16ft

Our team is happy to help you find the best fit for your family.
