Installing an outdoor children’s trampoline in your garden gives children a fun activity they can enjoy regularly. However, it’s important to choose suitable equipment: a frame that’s too lightweight, a poorly designed safety net or underestimated dimensions can quickly turn a good purchase into a source of disappointment—or even equipment that cannot be used.
Before comparing a Bestway trampoline or another model, three potential pitfalls deserve particular attention :
Here are the criteria to consider when choosing an outdoor trampoline suited to your garden, the users’ ages and the intended frequency of use.
A garden trampoline is about more than just its jumping surface. Allow for a clear area of at least 2 metres around the frame, with no nearby walls, trees, furniture or fences. The ground should be flat, firm and ideally covered with grass. Concrete and tarmac should be avoided for this type of installation.
A 2.44 m trampoline is generally suitable for gardens where space is limited. The 2.44 m Bestway model has an overall height of around 2.20 m. A 3.05 m trampoline requires more clearance, but provides a more comfortable jumping surface for an older child, provided there is enough open space.
Also check the available overhead clearance above the trampoline. Installation beneath a branch, canopy or balcony should be avoided.
For extended use in France, pay particular attention to the metal treatment. A frame made from galvanised steel, particularly hot-dip galvanised steel or steel with an anti-corrosion finish, withstands moisture better than unprotected metal. The shape of the legs also contributes to the stability of the whole structure.
The 2.44 m Bestway model uses a hot-dip galvanised tubular steel frame and W-shaped legs designed to distribute the support points more effectively. The 3.05 m model is advertised with a coated galvanised steel frame and six reinforced leg assemblies.
These features do not replace regular maintenance. After a spell of windy weather, inspect the fixings, mat, springs and net. In strong gusts or during winter, plan to dismantle or anchor the frame in accordance with the instructions.
A trampoline with a safety net should have a reliable closure, padded poles and protection covering the springs. When the net is designed without a gap between it and the spring area, the risk of a foot or hand becoming trapped between the different components is reduced.
The maximum load does not mean that several children can jump together. The safest rule remains one user at a time, under constant adult supervision. Somersaults and other acrobatic manoeuvres should be avoided.
For a child aged 3 to 10, check the age stated on the product page carefully. The 2.44 m Bestway model is advertised for children aged 3 to 10, with a recommended maximum load of 50 kg. The 3.05 m model is indicated for children aged 6 and over, under the supervision of a competent adult, with an advertised capacity of between 100 and 113 kg depending on the product details : check the applicable value on the product page before buying.
Why this choice suits this profile : Its 2.44 m diameter is suitable for families with a moderate amount of outdoor space who are looking for a model designed for children aged 3 to 10.
The net with zipped entrance and safety loops, foam-covered poles and spring cover address the main points to check.
Hot-dip galvanised steel frame, PP mat treated against UV rays and assembly with the tools supplied.
Why this choice suits this profile : Its 3.05 m diameter is designed for families with a large garden who want a frame with more comprehensive installation and anchoring features.
The net is designed without a gap between it and the spring area, reducing openings where things could become trapped. The four included anchors should be installed to stabilise the whole structure on soft ground.
Six leg assemblies, UV-treated mat and net, QuickSpring tool and foam-covered poles.
Why this choice suits this profile : With its accessories, this model is ideal for families who want to combine several outdoor activities in one compact piece of equipment.
The net and handle provide the basic level of support needed. However, check the instructions, recommended age and maximum load applicable to each accessory.
A configuration advertised with six functions, a safety net, a swing and a basketball hoop for a wider range of activities.

Before using a safe trampoline for the first time, check the following :
Clean the mat with a soft brush and water if necessary. Regularly inspect the stitching, springs, net and foam padding. Any torn, deformed or heavily worn part must be replaced before the trampoline is used again. If the trampoline is fitted with a ladder or accessories, also check that each component is securely attached.
Allow at least 2 metres of clearance around the frame, in addition to the stated diameter. The ground should be flat and away from walls, trees, cables, swimming pools and other obstacles. A clearly visible area also makes it easier for an adult to supervise.
The 2.44 m trampoline takes up less space and is suitable for a moderately sized garden. The 3.05 m model requires a larger area and is generally more suitable for older children, depending on the information on its product page. In both cases, choose according to the available space, the users’ ages and the permitted maximum load.
A trampoline’s lifespan depends on its exposure to sunlight, moisture and wind, as well as how often it is used and maintained. UV treatments help preserve the materials, but do not prevent them from wearing out. In strong winds, during long periods when it is not being used or over winter, dismantle certain components or secure the frame in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
