Trampoline Sizes: 5 Things You Should Keep in Mind


Remember the trampolines that were available when we were kids? I sure do, and I'll tell you what, they were a lot different than the trampolines that are available today. In fact, the trampolines I remember were about 3 feet wide and meant for nothing more than jumping up and down vertically until you got tired (or bored). In fact, I think they call those mini trampolines now, and they are usually used for exercise.

But now, there are trampolines in all sizes, and with the way kids use them these days it's almost an acrobatic sport as opposed to a toy, with people doing all kinds of tricks and even using boards on them. Not only are the mini trampolines still popular, but now an 8ft or 10ft trampoline is considered fairly compact, or if you've got extra room and a budget, you can get a 13X13ft square jumbo trampoline.
