Oval vs Rectangular Trampolines
Understanding the Differences
Shape and Size: Impact on Space and Jumping Area
Oval Trampolines: Maximising Space in Gardens
Oval trampolines are the clever space-savers of the bunch, rather like those corner sofas that seem to fit perfectly in awkward living rooms. Their elongated shape works brilliantly in typical British gardens, especially those with tricky corners or narrow spaces. They offer an excellent compromise between jumping area and space efficiency.
Rectangular Trampolines: Ideal for Larger Gardens and Serious Bouncing
Think of rectangular trampolines as the garden equivalent of a proper tennis court - they mean business! These models provide maximum jumping space and consistent bounce across the entire surface, making them perfect for more experienced bouncers aged 6 and above.
Bounce and Performance: Which Shape Offers a Better Experience?
Feature | Oval Trampoline | Rectangular Trampoline |
---|---|---|
Bounce Type | Balanced, gentle | Powerful, consistent |
Space Efficiency | Excellent | Requires more space |
Best For | Family fun, casual use | Serious practice, advanced moves |
Garden Suitability | Most UK gardens | Larger spaces |
Oval Trampolines: A Balanced Bounce for All Ages
Oval trampolines provide a more forgiving bounce pattern, perfect for family fun. The shape naturally guides jumpers toward the centre, much like how a good British roundabout keeps traffic flowing smoothly.
Rectangular Trampolines: High Bounce for Advanced Tricks
The rectangular shape delivers consistent bounce across the entire surface, ideal for those who take their bouncing as seriously as we Brits take our tea!

Both shapes come with our comprehensive safety features, including weather-resistant enclosure nets and thick padding. The main difference lies in how the safety features adapt to each shape.
