- Diameter: 140 to 174 cm for small children, 244 to 305 cm for a family, depending on the space available.
- A zip net or a double-closure net stays shut during use.
- Stated weight limits run from 45 to 200 kg: read the figure on the listing and the one in the instructions.
- At 244 cm, three kits state 50, 120 and 150 kg: the diameter does not tell you the weight limit.
- A net does not remove the risk: the standard, the instructions and adult supervision are still needed.

Inside net, poles and closure
| Part | Role | Point to check |
|---|---|---|
| Inside net | Sits between the jumping area and the frame | Tight mesh, good tension |
| Padded poles | Hold up the net | Foam in good condition, solid fixing |
| Zip door or double closure | Stays shut during use | A closure that locks |
| Spring cover or edge cushion | Hides the springs and frame | Properly in place before jumping |
If the net is damaged, it can be replaced: see the trampoline net page for replacement references.
The closures on the models compared
| Closure | Models concerned | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Zip door | HOMCOM 140 cm, Ovatoys 305 cm | The zip runs all the way and stays in place |
| Double closure | Monzana 244 cm | The two systems lock one after the other |
| Zip and tight mesh | KIDUKU 244 cm | Mesh and zip in the same state of wear |
| 360 degree net | MaxBinTon 140 cm | No gap between the net and the frame |
Inside net or outside net
Two designs appear in the selection: the inside net, held up within the jumping circle, and the outside net, fixed around the frame. The listing says which is supplied; the difference shows mainly at the poles.
| Criterion | Inside net | Outside net |
|---|---|---|
| Net position | Between the jumping area and the frame | Around the frame, outside the jumping area |
| Poles | Inside the circle, under foam | Outside the circle, straight or curved depending on the range |
| Example from the selection | HyperMotion 244 cm, fibreglass poles | Replacement nets with 6 or 8 poles |
| Spare part | Net specific to the structure | Diameter, number of poles and height to match |
The net height, the number of poles, the closure and the foam on the poles. If one of the four is missing, ask the seller before buying.
Which diameter to choose
| Diameter | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 140 to 174 cm | Young children, small garden or indoors |
| 244 cm | One or two children, family garden |
| 305 cm | Several children, spacious garden |
| 366 cm and above | Large garden; see also the rectangular trampoline |
Leave clear space around the trampoline and check that no branch or fence overhangs it. Assembly is covered in how to assemble a trampoline.
Overall height: under branches or under the ceiling
| Model | Diameter | Stated height |
|---|---|---|
| Svkiyang | 150 cm | 120 cm |
| HOMCOM children's | 140 cm | 190 cm |
| HyperMotion | 244 cm | 214 cm |
| Monzana | 244 cm | 231 cm |
| KIDUKU | 244 cm | 244 cm |
Indoors, this height adds to that of the jump: under a standard 2.50 m ceiling, a 190 cm model leaves almost no margin. In the garden, the same sum applies to branches and cables.
Springs, cords and the listed weight limits
| Model | Springs or cords | Stated weight limit |
|---|---|---|
| SONGMICS 174 cm | 32 elastic cords | 50 kg |
| Svkiyang 150 cm | 36 springs | 200 kg, to be checked |
| HyperMotion 244 cm | 42 springs | 50 kg |
| Monzana 244 cm | 48 springs | 120 kg |
| KIDUKU 244 cm | 80 springs | 150 kg in the title |
For the same 244 cm diameter, the listings state 50, 120 and 150 kg. The number of springs does not explain it: 42 springs for 50 kg on the HyperMotion, 48 for 120 kg on the Monzana.
The user's weight must stay under the figure in the instructions, and the instructions can be lower than the advert title.
Hoop, bar, ladder: the options
| Option | Models on the page | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Basketball hoop | MaxBinTon 140 cm, Ovatoys 305 cm | Height, fixing and the changed jumping area |
| Gymnastics bar | MaxBinTon 140 cm | Adjustment and the user's age |
| Ladder | Monzana, KIDUKU, Ovatoys | To be removed when no one is supervising |
| Ground anchors | KIDUKU 244 cm | Compatibility with the garden soil |
| Spring cover, edge cushion | HOMCOM, KIDUKU (20 mm) | Wide enough to cover the springs properly |
These options add to the list of checks. A replacement ladder or a cover can then be chosen on the trampoline ladder and trampoline cover pages.

Only the Svkiyang states indoor and outdoor use. For the other models, indoor use needs confirming in the instructions.
Checks before every use
- Check that the net is closed and has no tears.
- Check that the poles and the spring protection are firmly fixed.
- Make sure the mat is neither worn nor holed.
- Respect the maximum weight and age given in the instructions.
- Arrange for an adult to supervise.
The net limits falls off the mat but prevents neither collisions between jumpers nor injuries. The listing and instructions name the standard applied (BS EN 71-14 for domestic trampolines): read these documents and follow the guidance, including adult supervision.
Once a season
- Reread the instructions for tightening torques and fixing points.
- Examine the net seams, the straps and the zip.
- Look at the foam on the poles: crushed or torn, it no longer protects.
- Check for rust at the welds and the legs.
Reading a trampoline-with-net advert
| Advert wording | What it may hide | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Height of 190 cm | The overall height of the trampoline, not that of the net | Look for both values |
| 6 poles | A net that cannot be swapped for an 8-pole model | Note the number before buying any part |
| From 1 to 8 years | A seller's range, not medical advice | Compare with the instructions |
| 200 kg | A limit the instructions may contradict | Take the lowest of the values |
| Indoor and outdoor | Use in a room with no mention of ceiling height | Measure the room |
| Certified | A word with no name of label or standard | Ask which one |
This six-point reading takes two minutes. It spots the gaps between an advert's title, its description and the instructions, which are common on the selection's listings.
Common mistakes with a trampoline and net
- Believing the net allows several jumpers: the instructions usually ask for one user at a time.
- Leaving the door ajar or badly locked.
- Buying on the title without reading the weight limit and age on the listing.
- Forgetting the overall height under a ceiling or under branches.
- Leaving the ladder in place without supervision.
- Replacing a net with one that has different poles or a different diameter.
Frequently asked questions
Is a trampoline with a net safer?
The net limits falls off the mat, but it does not remove the risk of injury. The instructions, the minimum age and adult supervision remain essential.
What diameter of trampoline with a net should I choose?
From 140 to 174 cm for small children or indoors, 244 cm for a family garden, 305 cm and above for several children and a large space.
What does inside net mean on a trampoline?
The net sits between the jumping area and the frame; the poles are therefore inside the springs, protected by foam.
Can I buy a net on its own for an existing trampoline?
Yes, as long as you choose the matching diameter and number of poles. The references are on the trampoline net page.
Which standard applies to a domestic trampoline?
BS EN 71-14 covers trampolines for domestic use. It should be mentioned on the model's listing or instructions.
What net height should I allow for?
The replacement nets in the selection are 180 to 183 cm, and the round kits on other pages state 150 cm. The figure to go by is the one on the model's listing.
Can a trampoline with a net go in a room?
Only the Svkiyang listing states it. You must also allow for the model's overall height plus the jump margin under the ceiling.
Do I need a ladder with a trampoline and net?
It helps a child climb on, but it is taken away when no one is supervising, to stop a young child getting on alone.
Should I anchor a trampoline with a net?
The net catches the wind like a sail. Ground anchors, supplied with the KIDUKU, should be planned for at purchase; see the assembly guide.
