Setting Up an Outdoor Trampoline: A Guide

 

An outdoor trampoline is a great way to get your kids active and spending time outdoors. Whether you’re a seasoned trampoline enthusiast or just starting out, having your own outdoor trampoline will provide countless hours of fun for years to come.

Here is helpful guide to setting up an outdoor trampoline:

Choose the right spot in your backyard

The most important factor when it comes to installing an outdoor trampoline is location. You don’t want the jumping area to be too close to any walls or fences, as that can interfere with the safety of the jumpers. Generally, an area that’s eight-by-eight feet will be considered safe enough for an outdoor trampoline. It should not be placed on any kind of uneven terrain. In addition, avoid low hanging branches that could potentially harm jumpers landing from high heights.

Set up a level foundation

Once you have picked out the perfect spot for your outdoor trampoline, prep the area where it will go by doing some landscaping work and making sure everything is level before beginning assembly. The ground should be flat and free from root systems and rocks that could potentially cause instability or damage during playtime. Create a border around the setup to avoid grass, weeds, and wildflowers growing up next to your equipment.

Install safety nets

No matter who’s using the trampoline or how experienced they are, safety nets should always be used in tandem with an outdoor trampoline – especially if it's going to be used by kids. A good quality safety net helps minimize injury in case someone slips off while jumping and provides extra protection against intrusion from animals such as cats and snakes who might try entering through gaps underneath the bed of the trampoline. 

Follow setup instructions carefully

When all is prepared and done, it’s time to start assembling your new toy. Yayyy! Follow each step carefully taking care not to leave any loose screws or other hardware laying around after you're done setting up otherwise this could turn into a potential hazard over time as people walk around near it oftentimes tripping over them even if buried beneath fallen leaves or grass in Autumn months. Make sure all pieces are securely fastened before you begin jumping on it!  

Test the trampoline’s weight capacity  

Some jumpers weigh more than others, so before getting on one make sure it can handle how much weight is required whether its adults plus their children bouncing side by side simultaneously. Most manufacturers will list the weight capacity on each model (this information typically appears on packaging) so check this first before giving anyone permission onto ​the​ bounce surface.
