Welcome to TrampolinesKing.com

In short I do not actually sell trampolines myself, I simply provide a list of companies that supply trampolines and trampoline accessories. I created KingTrampolines.com because I wanted to fill a gap in the market, there are so many companies promoting their trampolines and no independent sites to review them or discuss the different trampoline types or brands without being bias. With this in mind I decided to start this site and recommend the best trampolines you can purchase, what suppliers to purchase them from and what the different types are.

So why are cheap trampolines so popular

The trampolines market is growing considerably, every year a new competitor crops up with bigger and better trampolines at lower prices, this in turn forces competitors to either lower their prices or outsource their own trampolines. This has allowed more and more people to purchase cheap sale priced outdoor trampolines for their garden and also indoor mini exercise trampolines for indoor use at an attempt to stay in shape.

So in general as competition grows the price of trampolines keeps falling, this is great for the consumer hoping to find that cheap trampoline without sacrificing on quality. Some of the most well known US and Canadian trampoline brands are Jumpking, V-fit and Skywalker Trampolines. Of course there are many other great brands available on the market today and these vary from country to country (see below).

Different types of trampolines

There are several different types of trampoline in the market today. The most common is the outdoor trampoline and it comes in many different shapes and sizes. Below is a list of the different types and sizes of trampolines:

8ft Trampolines – The 8' trampoline is one of the most popular, as outdoor trampolines normally start at 8ft it is also the cheapest. With a surface area of 50 foot you have enough room to bounce around comfortably.
10ft Trampolines – The 10' trampoline is the second most popular outdoor trampoline, of course it costs a little more compared to an 8ft but I gives you a surface area of 80 foot to bounce on.
12ft Trampolines – The 12' trampoline is the third most popular trampoline giving you a surface area of 113 foot to bounce on.
13ft Trampolines - 13’ trampolines are slowly becoming popular in the US giving you a surface area of 133 foot to bounce on.
14ft Trampolines – The 14' trampoline is the least popular type of trampoline, mainly because of its size and cost. Among these are the rare 15ft, 16ft and even a massive 17ft trampoline, but remember they are not cheap.
Round trampolines – Round trampolines are the most common type of trampoline commercially available. You can purchase many accessories for round trampolines including ladders, safety enclosures, weighted anchors and much more.
Square trampolines – Square trampolines are the second most common outdoor trampoline and although you can purchase accessories for them it can prove more difficult. The one advantage over round trampolines is you get more surface area to bounce on.
Rectangle trampolines – Rectangle trampolines are like those used in the Olympics, and by gymnasts around the world. Rectangular trampolines are not typically available for home use, also parts and accessories will be harder to find.
Oval trampolines – Oval trampolines are great for outdoor use if you are searching for a big trampoline, they are also becoming more and more popular so chances are the price will become more competitive.
Hexagonal / Hexagon trampolines – Hexagonal trampolines are becoming more popular than ever.
Water trampolines – If you live near a lake or have a huge swimming pool then you may considering an inflatable water trampoline
Mini exercise trampolines – Mini trampolines are made for indoor use, normally between 36” – 40” they are used primarily for exercising.
Junior trampolines – Junior trampolines (known as toddler trampolines) are great for young children

What trampoline accessories can I purchase

There are several accessories and parts you can purchase for your outdoor trampoline, below is a short list of accessories widely available:

Trampoline mats – The trampoline mat is the jumping area of a trampoline, typically made from polypropylene. As the matting will generally have the most wear and tear, this will be the most likely item that is replaced first.
Trampoline safety pads – Trampoline padding is secured around the outside of the trampoline and is designed to cover the springs. This helps protect the person from injuring themselves on the springs and also helps prevent the springs from rusting. The padding is either made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or the better quality polyester.
Trampoline springs – Trampoline springs hold the mat to the frame, the size of the spring depends on the size of the trampoline. The springs are also galvanized and covered by matting to help prevent them from rusting, also they come in different sizes (normally between 5.5” up to 10”.
Trampoline safety enclosures – Safety enclosures are designed to keep the child or adult safe whilst using the trampoline. The enclosure has extended poles that attach to the framed of the trampoline. Typically made from high tension polyester the enclosure is strong enough that it shouldn’t tear under normal stresses
Trampoline ladders – Trampoline ladders allow younger children to step onto the trampoline, the ladders are typically powder coated and UV treated to protect it from weathering. The ladders come in different sizes depending on the trampoline you have, for example an 8ft trampoline ladder will be smaller compared to a 17ft one.
Trampoline anchors (tie down kits) – Tie down kits are recommended for outdoor trampolines (especially ones with safety enclosures) because they have a tendency to blow away in the wind which could cause serious hard.
Trampoline tubing – some companies offer replacement parts for the trampoline frame known as tubing. This tubing is a galvanized frame typically 45mm in diameter
Trampoline tents – Trampoline tents are starting to become popular, this is simply a tent that covers over the top of the trampoline so your children can camp out in your garden.
Trampoline shoe bags – If you need somewhere to put your shoes whilst on the trampoline then a shoe bag is what you need, the shoe bag can be placed on the grass next to the trampoline or some can even be attached to the trampoline frame.
Trampoline safety skirts – Safety skirts attach to the bottom of the trampoline frame to stop young children and animals crawling underneath. If you have young children or animals then I suggest purchasing one of these.
Trampoline covers – Purchasing a cover will help prolong the life of the trampoline mat, padding and springs, but remember some covers do not protect the galvanized frame. To protect the entire trampoline I always recommend storing it indoors during the winter months.

Of course there are many more trampoline accessories on the market today but I have covered the basic ones that are more commercially available.

What are the different brands of trampoline

There are many different trampoline brands in the market today, personally I would always pick the trampoline that provides the best warranty because that prooves that the manufacture believes in their brand. I have created a short list of the most popular trampoline brands (not in any particular order):

Airzone Trampolines – Airzone are a big brand in the UK market and currently offer outdoor trampolines in 8ft, 10ft, 12ft and 14ft.
Aviva Sports Trampolines - Aviva Sports design and manufacture water toys and accessories, including their fantastic Orbit Water Trampolines.
Bazoongi Trampolines - Young children love Bazoongi trampolines for their funky colors, adults love them because they are inexpensive in comparison to other trampoline brands, great quality, easy to setup, and feel sturdy when in use.
Jumpking Trampolines – Jumpking are one of the original trampoline brands and also seem to be one of the most popular. Jumpking offer many different trampolines and accessories and in my opinion are competitively priced.
Super Tramp – Super Tramp offer a range of outdoor trampolines, including spring free round trampolines, square trampolines and rectangle trampolines
Skywalker trampolines – Skywalker trampolines is an American supplier selling round and oval outdoor trampoline

Trampoline Safety

Safety is one of the most important factors, especially if you are purchasing a trampoline for a young child. When I say safety I don’t just mean buying a trampoline with an enclosure, I’m talking about tricks and stunts that children like to perform that are unsafe.

It can be tempting for young children to perform stunts and tricks to impress their friends, but please do not attempt any stunts without learning the appropriate training. Please see my section on trampoline safety where I list trampoline clubs you can pay for hourly safety lessons.
