Square Trampolines – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why choose a square trampoline?

Square trampolines are a popular alternative to round and rectangular trampolines because they combine great bounce performance with efficient use of garden space. Their shape offers:

A larger usable jumping area than round trampolines of the same width
A bounce that is higher and more consistent (similar to rectangular trampolines)
A neat, modern look that fits well in many gardens

2. What sizes of square trampolines are available?

At Trampolines Ireland, we stock a range of square trampolines to suit different gardens and users. Common sizes include:

8ft x 8ft → smaller gardens or younger children
10ft x 10ft → family-friendly, most popular size
12ft x 12ft and larger → teenagers, older kids, and families with plenty of space

3. How much space do I need for a square trampoline?

You’ll need to allow at least 1 metre of clearance around the trampoline on all sides. For example, a 10ft x 10ft square trampoline will require a safe area of roughly 12ft x 12ft minimum.

4. How does the bounce differ from other trampoline shapes?

Round trampolines → bounce draws jumpers to the centre
Rectangular trampolines → powerful, consistent bounce across the mat
Square trampolines → provide a strong, even bounce with multiple sweet spots, making them a great compromise between round and rectangular models

This makes square trampolines particularly popular with teenagers, gymnasts-in-training, and families with older kids.

5. Are square trampolines safe?

Yes. Square trampolines are built with the same safety features as round and oval models, including:

Safety enclosures to prevent falls
Padded springs and frame edges
Durable steel frames for stability

As with all trampolines, adult supervision is essential, and only one jumper should use the trampoline at a time.

6. What ages are square trampolines suitable for?

Square trampolines are generally suitable for children aged 6+, teenagers, and adults. Smaller sizes work well for younger children, while larger square trampolines are ideal for older kids and more advanced jumpers.

7. What weight can a square trampoline hold?

Most square trampolines can support 100kg–160kg, depending on the brand and size. Larger professional models may support even more. Always check the specific product’s maximum weight rating.

8. Are square trampolines more expensive than round ones?

Yes. Because of their reinforced frame design and premium bounce performance, square trampolines generally cost more than round trampolines of a similar size. However, many families find the extra space and stronger bounce well worth the investment.

9. Do square trampolines last long?

With proper care, a square trampoline can last 7–12 years or more. To extend its lifespan:

Use a weather cover
Secure it with an anchor kit in windy conditions
Check springs, mats, and enclosures regularly
Store or disassemble in extreme weather if possible

10. Do square trampolines fit well in gardens?

Yes. Many families prefer square trampolines because they fit neatly into corners or against fences, making them an efficient choice for maximising garden space compared to round trampolines.

11. Are square trampolines easy to assemble?

Yes. Most square trampolines can be assembled in 3–4 hours with two adults. Instructions are included, and Trampolines Ireland also provides a professional assembly service nationwide.

14. What warranty comes with square trampolines?

Warranties vary by manufacturer, but typically:

Frame → up to 10 years
Springs & mat → 2–5 years
Padding & netting → 1–2 years

15. How do I choose between square, round, and rectangular trampolines?

Round trampolines → best for younger children and casual family play (most affordable)
Square trampolines → more bounce, more jumping space, and efficient for garden layout
Rectangular trampolines → strongest performance, best for gymnasts and athletes

Square trampolines are the perfect middle ground if you want more performance and space than a round trampoline, but don’t need a full professional rectangular model.
