Backyard Trampoline Tents & Trampolines: Our Top Picks

Blog-BIG FRENCHIES-Jennifer B-Buying Guide-Outdoor

If your backyard trampoline has become the most-used square footage on your property, you already know the appeal. Here are the trampoline tents, trampolines and climbing sets our customers keep coming back for, plus the safety basics pediatricians want every family to know before buying.

Key Takeaways

  • A trampoline tent turns an existing trampoline into a shaded, screened-in play fort for sleepovers and hot days.
  • The 12 ft tent ships ready to go; the 11 ft (made for Springfree trampolines) and 17 ft tents are made to order and take about 20 to 30 days.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages home trampoline use. If you have one: one jumper at a time, adult supervision, padded frame, enclosure net and no flips.
  • Children under 6 should not use full-size trampolines; for toddlers, climbing arches and small slides are a better fit.

How Do You Make a Backyard Trampoline Safer?

We will be straight with you: the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages recreational trampoline use at home because serious injuries can still happen with every precaution in place. If your family decides to have one, these steps reduce the risk:

  • One jumper at a time. Most injuries happen when several people jump together.
  • Always supervise. An adult should watch every session.
  • Pad and enclose. Cover the frame, hooks and springs with pads and use a well-maintained enclosure net.
  • No flips or somersaults. Falls on the head and neck cause the most serious injuries.
  • Keep little ones off full-size trampolines. The AAP and the CPSC advise against use by children under 6.
  • Place it well. Set it on level ground, away from trees, fences and other play equipment, and inspect it regularly for wear.

A tent adds shade and a cozy hangout, but it is not safety equipment. Keep jumping and tent play as separate activities.
