Why Purchase an 8 Trampoline
8' yard trampolines are the most commonly sold in the United States, because they are smaller in comparison to 12, 15 or 17 trampolines they are a good starting point if you dont have the space in your backyard. Also if you are on a tight budget you can pickup an 8 trampoline for around $150 - $250
What are the Characteristics of an 8 Foot Trampoline?
8 trampolines have the following characteristics (although some brands will vary):
38mm steel tubing Steel tubing is the supporting frame of the trampoline, an 8 trampoline will have a lower maximum user weight compared to bigger trampolines which is why the tubing only needs to be 38mm thick. Also because the 8 trampoline is physically smaller in size less steel is required to support the trampoline thus keeping the cost down.
7 8 springs Because the trampoline is small it does not require big springs. Typically you will find between 65 70 springs on an 8 trampoline, this works out to be about 10 springs every yard.
Maximum user weight As a general rule the smaller the trampoline the smaller the breaking point will be. 8 trampolines tend to have a maximum weight limit of around 175 220 pounds.
Trampoline weight Because there is less steel in the tubing, a smaller trampoline pad and mat, and also fewer springs, the weight of the trampoline is much lower compared to a 12 15' or 17 trampoline. Most 8 trampolines weight between 65 90 pounds (Excluding a safety enclosure which can weigh between 5 15 pounds)
What is the Average Price of an 8ft Trampoline?
Okay the big question that everyone asks me, how much can I expect to pay for an 8 trampoline? From researching on the internet I have found the following price ranges.
- 8 trampoline - $150 - $250
- 8 trampoline with safety enclosure - $200 - $350
