Children’s trampoline on concrete

5 replies

Does anyone have a children’s outdoor trampoline in concrete in their garden?

we have a garden but it’s in a slope so cannot put the trampoline there. My son is desperate for an outdoor trampoline but I’m not sure how safe it is or why extras I can buy to make it safe? I’ve read about mats or sandbags?

Does anyone have any recommendations at all?

Aww thank you!
it’s his birthday in a week and I’d love to get him one but I just don’t know what I need to go along with it!

If you must get one, get one with enclosure netting. I have trampolined in a university club and I also have a friend who is a paediatric nurse and we have both said we wouldn't get our kids a garden trampoline. They are too small, not properly padded on the springs and way too easy to fall off. Trampoline parks are a much better option.

Do you mean one on concrete rather than the built in type? We had our trampoline on concrete with enclosed netting but it's really stressful as that relies on them actually shutting the netting so they need close supervision as otherwise bounce out on to the concrete,which our kids have done and it's awful.so basically,it's just a stress and needs supervision or not safe and no fun.not sure yours age but at 5,mines age,they won't reliably shut the netting zip so need supervision.but that's ok if you would be supervising anyway.

I personally wouldn’t. My little brother had one on concrete with a fully enclosed net but it relies on them zipping it up all the time so it was stressful as you always had to go and check. Once he didn’t and fell out. No major injury but could have been. Unless your going to supervise every time which is unrealistic then it’s too dangerous I think
