Are you considering buying a rectangular trampoline? Cool! You can look forward to a fantastic jumping experience with the best conditions to take your jumping to the next level! However, there are a few things to consider before choosing your rectangular trampoline.
This article highlights a few points that you should think about.
1. Invest in Premium Quality – It Pays Off!
In recent years, there has been a considerable growth in the quantity of rectangular trampolines on the market. Trampoline parks with rectangular trampolines and the connection to professional sport and performance trampolines mean that more people are looking at the rectangular models if they want to develop their jumping at home.
If the goal is to have a good jumping experience, it is important to invest in a top quality trampoline with a sturdy frame and optimized dimensions. The rectangular shape is optimized for really good jumping properties, but at the same time exposes the frame to enormous forces, which a round trampoline, for example, can distribute more easily thanks to its round shape. A rectangular trampoline that is not of high quality easily becomes unstable because the straight tubes on the elongated side would bend inward if the quality was poor, resulting in a poor jumping experience and the trampoline would creak a lot.
Hence, it is worth paying for a really strong and sturdy frame that you will find on all of our rectangular safest trampolines.
2. Optimal Size and Dimensions – If You Want to Jump Very HIGH
We spent thousands of hours designing our rectangular trampolines. One of the most important parts of the job is finding the correct size of the frame and jumping surface along with the dimensions of the tubes of the frame so that the frame becomes rigid and does not bend. Therefore, you can almost certainly find cheaper rectangular trampolines with wider and larger jumping surfaces than our models, but there you cannot expect the same performance from the frame at all.
So if the trampoline is going to be used for gymnastics or tricks and somersaults to get really good performance, the largest jumping surface is not the best choice, it’s the design and dimensions that need to be properly optimized.
3. The Right Springs – The Key to A Good Jumping Experience!
We have worked with professional athletes from free-skiing, wakeboarding and trampoline sports, who have tested our springs in numerous workshops and helped us with their further development with their feedback. Numerous improvements, repeated tests and evaluations have been made and intensive and thorough development work has been put into our most exclusive trampolines.
All of this has meant that we can proudly and confidently say that we deliver world-class trampoline performance through our springs! According to our own information, the springs are only made in Sweden for our models Athlete and Performer.
Floor Trampoline – The Subtle Alternative
Trampolines built into the ground look slim in the garden, but are in no way inferior to models on high legs in terms of spring force and fun factor. Whether as exercise equipment or as play equipment for children – trampolines close to the ground are suitable for all purposes.
Burrow-able trampolines have been gaining popularity for a number of years. Initially mainly represented in exclusive villa areas, the elegant floor-level trampoline has now found a place in many gardens. Thanks to a frame height of a maximum of 30 cm, getting in and out is very pleasant. The low entry height significantly reduces the risk of falling accidents.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
The most important aspect when installing an in-ground trampoline is the pit under the trampoline. The pit is necessary so that the trampoline can be jumped without hitting the ground. In addition, a sufficiently deep pit ensures good air circulation and thus a smooth, smooth jump feeling. It is therefore essential to always place an in-ground trampoline exactly over a precisely cut, bowl-shaped hole in the ground.

Do not dig before installing the springs and the jumping mat. The shape and dimensions of the frame change during assembly.
Good Care = Sustainability
Trampolines Guide’s trampolines are made of durable materials that defy the weather. In order to extend the life of your trampoline, we recommend that you dismantle it at the end of the trampoline season.
All soft parts as well as the feathers are best stored indoors over the winter months. The frame, on the other hand, can be left outside without any problems. However, be sure to cover the pit so that children and animals cannot fall into it. This works well, for example, with the help of wooden slats that are placed over the hole. A tarpaulin prevents large amounts of water from collecting in the depression.
More Children Are Now Prone to Overweight, Mental and Physical Illness
More and more children are overweight and physical and mental illnesses begin at an ever younger age. But with just 60 minutes of exercise a day, we can counteract the threat to health that comes with sitting still.
According to a Swedish study, four-year-old children sit still almost half the time they are awake, and only three in ten adolescents achieve the recommended amount of physical activity of one hour a day. A development that is terrifying.
Due to reduced physical activity and increased sitting still, researchers are concerned about the development of the individual child and society as a whole. The combination of poor eating habits and insufficient physical activity is our greatest health risk today, with consequences such as depression, type 2 diabetes, dementia and osteoporosis, to name just a few.
But the antidote doesn’t have to cost more than some fresh air. Studies have shown that 12 minutes of exercise before class can increase children’s ability to concentrate and learn. And be fun at the same time! All children and adolescents benefit from physical activity, but most of them are children with concentration and learning difficulties. All types of physical activity lead to the fact that the children can cope better with stress and are less negatively influenced by stressful situations.
