Ultimate Christmas Trampoline Guide 2025

Christmas morning. The smell of pine needles. The sound of wrapping paper tearing. And in the garden — that unmistakable sight of a brand-new trampoline ready for action.

For thousands of Irish families every year, a trampoline is the big Christmas gift. It’s a present that doesn’t just make Christmas Day special — it transforms your garden into a space for fun, fitness, and family connection all year round.

At Trampolines Ireland, we help families across the country choose the perfect trampoline for Christmas — whether it’s a compact model for smaller gardens or a premium BERG or Springfree trampoline built to last a lifetime.

This complete guide will walk you through everything you need to know about buying a trampoline for Christmas 2025: how to choose the right model, when to order, how to install it, and how to make it the most memorable gift your kids have ever received.

🎅 1. Why a Trampoline Makes the Perfect Christmas Gift

a. It’s a Gift That Keeps on Giving

Unlike toys that lose their appeal after a few weeks, trampolines bring joy all year long. From frosty winter mornings to long summer evenings, they encourage kids to get outdoors, move their bodies, and develop balance and coordination — all while having a blast.

A trampoline isn’t just another gift; it’s an investment in play, health, and happiness.

b. Healthy and Active Fun

Trampolining burns energy, builds strength, and improves coordination — without kids even realising they’re exercising. It’s especially valuable in winter when outdoor play can otherwise be limited.

c. Suitable for All Ages

A trampoline is one of the few gifts that grows with your family.
Little ones can bounce gently with supervision, while teenagers and even adults can use it for fitness, stress relief, or sports training.

d. It Brings the Family Together

In an age of screens and devices, a trampoline encourages shared, outdoor play. Parents often tell us their trampoline became the “heart of the garden” — a place where everyone joins in, laughs, and connects.

🧭 2. When Should You Order a Christmas Trampoline?

a. Don’t Wait Until December

Trampolines are one of the most popular Christmas presents in Ireland, and demand skyrockets from late October onwards.
By early December, many of the best models and sizes — especially from BERG and Springfree — can sell out.

Our advice?
👉 Order by mid-November to guarantee availability and on-time Christmas delivery.

If you plan to have it installed before Christmas, book installation as early as possible — installation slots also fill up fast.

b. Pre-Christmas Storage Options

At Trampolines Ireland, we know many parents want to keep the trampoline a surprise. That’s why we offer:

Flexible pre-Christmas delivery
Safe storage advice (how to hide large boxes!)
Optional installation close to Christmas Eve (subject to location and availability)

We’ll help you plan it all, stress-free.

🧱 3. Choosing the Right Size Trampoline

The most common question we get:

“What size trampoline should we buy for our garden?”

Here’s a quick guide.

Garden Size	Recommended Trampoline Diameter	Example Models
Small (urban gardens, patios)	6ft – 8ft	BERG Favorit 6ft / Springfree Compact Round
Medium	10ft – 12ft	BERG Champion 11ft / Springfree Medium Round
Large (rural / detached homes)	12ft – 14ft+	BERG Grand Champion / Springfree Large Oval
Professional / Sports	Rectangular	BERG Ultim Elite 500 / Springfree Jumbo Oval

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

Leave at least 1–1.5m clearance around the trampoline.
Consider height and overhead space (especially near trees or clotheslines).
Bigger isn’t always better — safety and bounce control matter more.

If you’re unsure, our team can help you map out your garden space virtually and recommend the ideal size.

💎 4. Cheap vs. Premium Trampolines at Christmas

You’ll find trampolines online for as little as €250 and others over €1,000.
So what’s the difference?

Feature	Cheap Trampoline	Premium Trampoline (BERG / Springfree)
Frame	Thin steel, prone to rust	Heavy galvanised steel or rust-proof base
Springs / Bounce System	Basic, uneven bounce	Long, durable springs or springless rods
Mat	Basic polypropylene	UV-treated, high-tensile mat
Safety Net	Thin mesh, basic zipper	Reinforced, self-closing, flexible poles
Warranty	6–12 months	5–10 years (some parts up to 13 years)
Lifespan	2–4 years	10–15+ years
Safety	Minimal testing	Certified and independently tested

At Trampolines Ireland, we focus exclusively on premium brands that deliver exceptional safety, bounce quality, and durability — because we know families want a trampoline that lasts more than a few summers.

Our Main Brands

BERG Trampolines (Netherlands): Known for durability, smooth bounce, and style.
Springfree Trampolines (New Zealand): The safest trampoline in the world, with no springs or hard edges.

If you want a trampoline that will still be in perfect shape by next Christmas — and the next five — choose premium.

🎁 5. Making the Trampoline a Christmas Morning Surprise

Many parents love the magic of seeing their kids’ faces light up on Christmas morning.
Here are a few creative ideas for the big reveal:

a. Wrap the Box (or Just the Bow)

If you’re storing the trampoline boxes in the garage, add a huge bow or ribbon and a card that says “To the best jumpers in Ireland – Merry Christmas!”

b. The Garden Reveal

Set up the trampoline a few days before Christmas and cover it with a large tarpaulin, sheet, or decorative fabric, then reveal it on Christmas morning.

Add fairy lights around the enclosure for a magical effect.

c. The “Treasure Hunt” Reveal

Hide clues around the house leading your kids outside for the final surprise. This turns the reveal into a fun, interactive game.

d. Gift a Mini “Trampoline Voucher”

If you can’t install before Christmas (due to weather or timing), wrap a printed photo or voucher that says:

“Your trampoline is on its way! Installation in early January.”

It keeps the excitement alive while ensuring a safe setup later.

🌦️ 6. Can You Use a Trampoline in Winter?

Absolutely!
Many families enjoy their trampolines year-round — even during crisp winter days. Kids love the novelty of bouncing in their Christmas pyjamas and hats!

That said, a few precautions make winter bouncing safer and easier:

Clear frost or snow before use. The mat can become slippery.
Remove the safety net if heavy snow is forecast (to prevent strain).
Anchor the trampoline securely — Irish winter winds can be strong.
Use a weather cover when not in use to protect from debris and moisture.
Check bolts and springs periodically after storms.

Premium trampolines like BERG and Springfree are designed for all-weather performance — they won’t rust or degrade in the cold.

🛠️ 7. Installation Tips for Christmas

a. DIY Installation

Most trampolines can be assembled at home with 2 adults and a few hours of patience.
We include full instructions, and you can find step-by-step assembly videos on our website.

Tip:
Assemble the trampoline a few days before Christmas — Irish weather can be unpredictable!

b. Professional Installation

If you prefer a stress-free setup, our Trampolines Ireland installation team can deliver, assemble, and safety-check your trampoline.
Installation is available nationwide and can be scheduled before Christmas Eve in most areas (depending on demand).

Booking early guarantees your slot.

🧒 8. Choosing Between In-Ground and Above-Ground Trampolines

Both styles make great Christmas gifts — the right one depends on your garden and preferences.

Type	Benefits	Considerations
Above-Ground Trampoline	Easier to install, move, and store. Great bounce.	More visible in the garden. Requires safety net.
In-Ground Trampoline	Sleek, integrated look. Easier access for kids.	Needs a small excavation (best planned before Christmas rush).

BERG offers some of the most popular in-ground models in Europe — perfect for families who want a clean, low-profile look.

🧤 9. Accessories and Extras for Christmas

To make your trampoline even more special (and safe) this Christmas, consider these add-ons:

a. Weather Cover

Protects your trampoline from debris, frost, and rain during the winter months.

b. Anchor Kit

Essential for Irish weather — keeps the trampoline secure during wind gusts.

c. Ladder

Helps younger children climb on and off safely.

d. LED Light Kit

Add sparkle to evening bouncing sessions. Great fun for festive nights!

e. Basketball Hoop

A top Christmas add-on — compatible with most BERG and Springfree trampolines.

f. Spare Parts

Premium trampolines have replaceable mats, springs, and nets — keeping them like new for years.

🧩 10. BERG vs. Springfree – Which Makes the Better Christmas Gift?

Both are exceptional choices, but they appeal to slightly different needs.

Feature	BERG Trampolines	Springfree Trampolines
Bounce Type	Traditional spring bounce	Flexible composite rod system
Design	Classic and sporty	Modern and minimalist
Safety	Excellent (high nets & padding)	Industry-leading (no springs or hard edges)
Warranty	Up to 13 years on frame	10 years on all parts
Price Range	€700–€2,500	€1,300–€3,000
Best For	Families wanting strong bounce performance	Families prioritising maximum safety and zero maintenance

At Trampolines Ireland, we recommend both — it depends on your priorities.
For younger families, Springfree offers unparalleled safety.
For sporty jumpers and teens, BERG provides the best bounce on the market.

🎄 11. Christmas Safety Checklist

Before your kids start bouncing, take a moment to ensure everything’s ready.

✅ Check that the frame and legs are secure
✅ Ensure all springs (or rods) are attached correctly
✅ Verify that the mat is tensioned evenly
✅ Confirm that the safety net is zipped and upright
✅ Remove snow, frost, or debris
✅ Set clear rules (one jumper at a time!)

Following these steps ensures a safe and happy Christmas jump for everyone.
