    A first trampoline

    "First trampoline" means nothing unless someone says what is in it, so here is our definition: above ground, round, sold with a safety net, and no bigger than 11ft (330cm). 6 BERG models fit it, from €449 to €1,449.

    It is our rule, not a BERG category. The one piece of age guidance behind it is BERG's: its manual does not recommend garden trampolines for children under 6.

    Round, on legs, with a safety net: 6.5ft to 11ft (6)Anchor kits (2)

    Round, on legs, with a safety net: 6.5ft to 11ft

    Every model that meets the definition, cheapest first. There are 3 sizes (6.5ft, 200cm; 9ft, 270cm; 11ft, 330cm) across 3 ranges: Favorit, Champion, Elite.

    The same size at a higher price is a higher range. Favorit, Champion or Elite sets out what you get for the difference.

    Anchor kits

    A trampoline on legs can be moved by the wind. BERG's manual says to secure it and to stay off it in strong wind. We sell 2 anchor kits. Anchors need soil to grip: they do not hold in a patio or in gravel.

    Why we drew the line where we did

    • Above ground. Nothing is dug. It is assembled from BERG's manual, with no groundwork to arrange.
    • With a safety net. Every BERG trampoline on legs is sold with one, so this costs nothing extra.
    • Round. On legs, round is the shape BERG makes in its smallest sizes.
    • Up to 11ft. An 11ft trampoline needs 7.3 m of clear ground each way, which already counts as a medium garden in our bands. Bigger sizes need more again.

    None of this makes a bigger, oval or in-ground trampoline a wrong first choice. If the rule does not suit you, all 89 trampolines are on one page with filters.

    The other choices, briefly

    Size, by the garden

    Measure the longest run of clear, level ground and take 4 m off it: that is the biggest trampoline it will hold. BERG also asks for 7 m of clear height. The size guide shows how to measure, and the small garden and medium garden pages list what fits each.

    Who will be on it

    One user at a time, on every size. Where we have read a maximum user weight in BERG's manual we give it: 6.5ft Favorit 50 kg, 9ft Favorit 70 kg, 11ft Favorit 100 kg. For the others, ask us.

    Anchors and where it stands

    Put it on level grass, 2 m clear of fences, walls and trees, and anchor it. If you are unsure about any of this, send photos for a free garden consultation.

    Questions people ask

    What is a good first trampoline?+

    We define it by a rule and list everything that meets it: above ground, round, with a safety net, up to 11ft (330cm). That gives 6 BERG models from €449. Which of them suits you comes down to the space you have and what you want to spend.

    What age can a child have a first trampoline?+

    BERG's manual says its garden trampolines are not suitable for children under 36 months and does not recommend them for children under 6. So we suggest six as the earliest age, with an adult supervising and one child on it at a time.

    What size should a first trampoline be?+

    Let the garden decide. The smallest here is 6.5ft (200cm) and needs 6.0 m of clear, level ground each way. The largest is 11ft (330cm) and needs 7.3 m. That is the trampoline plus BERG's 2 m on every side.

    Is the safety net included in the price?+

    Yes. Every BERG trampoline on legs is sold with its safety net, so each price on this page is for the trampoline and the net together. BERG's manual says to close the net entrance fully before jumping.

    Do I need an anchor kit?+

    BERG's manual says to secure the trampoline and not to use it in strong wind, and BERG recommends an anchor set for storms. Our own advice is to fit anchors from the start and to check them after every named storm. They only hold in soil.

    Does it come assembled?+

    No. It arrives boxed on a pallet at the kerbside and you put it together from BERG's manual. We supply and deliver; assembly is yours to do or to arrange.

    How long is the warranty on a first trampoline?+

    It depends on the range. On the frame, BERG gives 5 years, 8 when registered for Favorit; 10 years, 13 when registered for Champion; 10 years, 13 when registered for Elite. Register it with BERG as soon as it arrives. Other parts have shorter periods, set out in the warranty guide.
