8ft Garden Trampolines

Buying an 8ft trampoline: what to know

An 8ft trampoline sits between the compact 6ft and the popular 10ft. The frame is 8 feet in diameter, but you need to allow around 12 feet of clear space in each direction to accommodate the enclosure and leave a safe margin at the edges.

Weight limits on 8ft trampolines in our range typically run from around 75kg to 100kg. This makes them suitable for children and lighter adults, though they are primarily used by children aged 5 to 10. The bounce is noticeably more responsive than a 6ft model — the larger mat and increased spring count give more lift, which children in this age range enjoy.

One consideration with an 8ft trampoline: the jump area is still relatively modest. If you have multiple children who will want to use it at the same time, or if you expect older children to be jumping on it within the next couple of years, it is worth considering a 10ft from the start. The price difference between an 8ft and a 10ft is moderate, and the practical difference in usable jump space is significant.

Assembly takes around 60 minutes with two people. Spring tensioning tool included.

Looking at other sizes? For a smaller garden, a 6ft trampoline fits tighter spaces. If you have room, a 10ft trampoline is the most popular choice and suits a wider age range. See our accessories for covers and anchor kits.
