Trampoline Tents

A trampoline tent is basically a tent that attaches to an outdoor trampoline mat. Trampoline tents are slowing becoming a standard accessory for an outdoor trampoline and kids just love them.

Trampoline tents are usually made from 170T polyester, which basically means it's water proof. Trampoline tents are currently being manufactured for outdoor round and oval trampolines.

The disadvantage to a trampoline tent is that it can only be used on a trampoline as it has no bottom to it. The tent uses the trampoline mat as the bottom of the tent so unfortunately you cant take the tent when camping (unless you don’t mind sleeping on rough ground ).

Which Trampoline Tent Do I Purchase

There are a few things to be aware of before you make a purchase, the first and most important one is the size of trampoline you have. The bigger the trampoline the more expensive the tent will be, obviously because more material is involved to make it. Always check the following before purchasing a trampoline tent:

• Is the Tent Waterproof – I have never seen a trampoline tent that isn’t waterproof but make sure the one you are considering to purchase is.
• Is the Tent Fireproof or Fire Retardant – Some trampoline tents are fireproof, make sure the one you are considering is fireproof or fire retardant (most camping tents are fire retardant)
• How Many Doors & Windows Does the Tent Have – Although this isn’t such an important factor it may be important to find out how many doors and windows the tent has, some trampoline tents have one door whilst others have two.
• Does the Tent Look Easy to Assemble – An easy to assemble tent is worth it in my opinion, if it not easy to assemble make sure it is shipped with an instruction manual.
• What is the Height of the Tent – Some tents are higher than others and in general the bigger the trampoline you have the higher the tent will be in the middle. Typically 15' trampolines are around 7' - 8' high where as 8' trampolines are around 4' – 5' high in the middle.
• What Warranty is Provided – I always say that a manufacture that believes in their product will offer a good warranty, look for around “1 year warranty on manufacturing defects on all parts” as standard. If no warranty is offered then avoid.

How Much Can I Expect to Pay

If you children like camping out in the yard and you already own a trampoline then purchasing a trampoline tent is normally worth it as it saves you money. The prices of tents vary depending on size and brand but for a standard 8' trampoline tent prices seem to start at around $60 up to $150
