A trampoline is a fabric jumping mat held under tension inside a steel frame, with springs or elastic ropes storing the energy of each landing and returning it as the next bounce. The best trampolines in Australia fall into two groups that share almost nothing beyond the name: full-size garden trampolines with a safety enclosure, and mini rebounders built for indoor exercise.
Four types cover what is sold here. Round garden trampolines pull a jumper back toward the middle, which is why they dominate backyard sales. Rectangular trampolines give a more even bounce across the mat and suit gymnastics practice. Toddler trampolines pair a small mat with a full enclosure and a low frame. Fitness rebounders are compact indoor units, often with a handrail, used for low-impact cardio.
Spring count tells you more about bounce quality than diameter does. A 14 foot round trampoline here carries 80 triple-rate springs against 64 on the 10 foot model, and more springs spread across the same mat means a softer landing and less strain on the frame. Weight capacity is the other figure to check, ranging from 25kg on a toddler unit to 150kg on the adult rebounders.
This guide compares ten trampolines stocked in Australia, running from a 4.5 foot toddler model up to a 14 foot family trampoline with a ladder and basketball hoop, and lists diameter, spring or rope system and weight limit for each. Rebounders sit alongside other home cardio gear, and our guide to exercise bikes in Australia covers the machine most often bought next to one.

1. Everfit 14FT Trampoline with Ladder and Basketball Hoop – Best for Big Backyards
Eighty triple-rate springs sit around this 14 foot mat, which is the highest count in the guide and the reason the landing feels soft rather than abrupt. The frame is heavy-gauge steel treated against ultraviolet damage, which matters on a structure that lives outdoors year round in Australian sun. A ladder and a basketball hoop are included rather than sold separately.
Fourteen feet is enough diameter for two children to jump without colliding, which is the practical difference between a trampoline that gets shared and one that causes arguments. Triple-rate springs vary their resistance through the stroke, giving a gentler catch at the bottom of a bounce. The hoop extends how long it holds interest beyond simple jumping.
A trampoline this size needs a genuinely large, level patch of lawn and clearance overhead from branches and eaves. Families with the space and more than one child are the obvious fit. Anyone measuring a courtyard should look further down this list before committing.
Pros
- 80 triple-rate springs give the softest landing here
- UV-treated heavy-gauge steel frame
- Ladder and basketball hoop included
- Wide enough for two children at once
Cons
- Needs a large level area and overhead clearance
- Assembly is a two-person job
Key specs: 14 foot diameter; 80 triple-rate springs; UV-resistant heavy-gauge steel frame; safety enclosure; ladder and basketball hoop included.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE2. Everfit 10FT Trampoline Rebounder – Best Mid-Size
Sixty-four triple-rate springs ring the 10 foot mat here, using the same spring design and frame treatment as the 14 foot model above. The enclosure and padding carry over unchanged. What drops is diameter and spring count, in proportion.
Ten feet is the size that fits most suburban Australian backyards without dominating them, leaving lawn on either side rather than consuming all of it. The bounce is firmer than the 14 foot version because fewer springs share each landing, which suits a single lighter jumper well. Setup takes up appreciably less ground.
Two children jumping together on a 10 foot mat will meet in the middle more often than they would on 14 feet. As a one-child trampoline it is the sensible middle of this range. Measure the lawn before assuming the larger model will fit.
Pros
- 64 triple-rate springs on a UV-treated frame
- Fits a typical suburban backyard
- Same enclosure and padding as the larger model
- Firmer bounce suits a single jumper
Cons
- Tight for two children jumping together
- Fewer springs than the 14 foot model
Key specs: 10 foot diameter; 64 triple-rate springs; UV-resistant heavy-gauge steel frame; safety enclosure and padding.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE3. Everfit 6FT Trampoline with Ladder and Enclosure – Best for Small Yards
Marine-grade hot-dip galvanised steel is the notable specification here, a heavier corrosion treatment than paint or standard galvanising. The trampoline is built for children aged three to eight. A ladder and full enclosure come with it.
Marine-grade galvanising earns its place in coastal suburbs, where salt air rusts a painted frame within a couple of seasons. Six feet suits a courtyard, a townhouse yard or a side lawn where a 10 foot model simply will not fit. The enclosure runs the full height rather than stopping at waist level.
The age range is a real limit rather than a suggestion, and older or heavier children will bottom out the mat. Coastal households and small yards are where it makes most sense. Consider it a three to five year purchase rather than one that lasts through primary school.
Pros
- Marine-grade hot-dip galvanised frame resists salt air
- Fits courtyards and townhouse yards
- Full-height safety enclosure
- Ladder included
Cons
- Suited to ages three to eight only
- Outgrown before primary school ends
Key specs: 6 foot diameter; marine-grade hot-dip galvanised steel frame; full safety enclosure; ladder included; designed for ages 3 to 8.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE4. Everfit 4.5FT Trampoline with Enclosure – Best for Toddlers
At 4.5 feet across with a 25kg weight limit, this is built for one small child rather than shared play. The enclosure encircles the mat completely. Its footprint suits houses and townhouses with very little outdoor space.
A low frame and a small mat mean a fall has less distance to travel, which is the whole argument for a toddler-specific trampoline over letting a small child onto a full-size one. The enclosure is the safety feature that matters most at this age. It also works on a covered patio, out of the sun.
Twenty-five kilograms is reached by many children around age seven, so the useful life is short. For a household with a toddler and no room for anything bigger it does the job properly. Buying larger to postpone the upgrade defeats the safety case for this size.
Pros
- 25kg limit and low frame suit small children
- Full enclosure around a small mat
- Fits a patio or very small yard
- Recommended from age three
Cons
- 25kg limit is reached quickly
- Only suitable for one child at a time
Key specs: 4.5 foot diameter; 25kg maximum weight; full safety enclosure; recommended for ages 3 to 8.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE5. Everfit 55inch Kids Rebounder with Basketball Set – Best Indoor Kids Pick
This one sits between a garden trampoline and a fitness rebounder, at 55 inches across with a 150kg weight capacity and a basketball set attached. It is recommended for children over six. The footprint is small enough for indoor use.
A 150kg limit is far above what the toddler models allow, so this takes an older child or an adult without complaint. The basketball hoop and sandbag turn it into something more than a jumping surface, which matters indoors where a trampoline competes with a screen. Wet weather stops being a reason play stops.
Fifty-five inches indoors still needs ceiling height, and a bouncing child gains a surprising amount of it. Apartments and houses with standard ceilings should measure first. For a rainy-day option in a rumpus room it works well.
Pros
- 150kg capacity takes older children and adults
- Basketball set and sandbag included
- Compact enough for indoor use
- Recommended for ages six and over
Cons
- Needs generous ceiling height indoors
- Too small for two children together
Key specs: 55 inch diameter; 150kg maximum weight; basketball set and sandbag included; recommended for ages 6 and over.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE6. Everfit 51inch Hexagon Fitness Rebounder – Best Fitness Rebounder
High-elasticity ropes replace steel springs on this one, strung around a hexagonal 51 inch frame. An adjustable foam-wrapped handrail gives something to hold. Anti-slip feet keep it still on a hard floor.
Rope suspension is quieter than springs and gives a deeper, softer rebound, which is what makes sustained cardio on a rebounder bearable rather than jarring. The adjustable handrail matters for anyone returning to exercise or working on balance, since it turns an unstable surface into a supported one. The hexagonal frame gives more usable mat area than a round frame of the same width.
Rope systems lose tension over time in a way springs do not, and replacement is less straightforward. For low-impact indoor cardio it is the most comfortable option here. Anyone wanting a traditional springy bounce should look at the spring-based models instead.
Pros
- Elastic ropes are quieter and softer than springs
- Adjustable foam-wrapped handrail
- Hexagonal frame maximises mat area
- Anti-slip feet for hard floors
Cons
- Ropes lose tension over time
- Not the traditional spring bounce
Key specs: 51 inch hexagonal frame; high-elasticity rope suspension; adjustable foam-wrapped handrail; anti-slip feet; heavy-gauge steel frame.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE7. Advwin 50inch Mini Fitness Trampoline Rebounder – Best Large Rebounder
Fifty inches across with a 150kg capacity, this is the largest adult rebounder in the guide and it folds for storage. The construction is described as durable but lightweight, which is the balance a rebounder has to strike. It is aimed squarely at fitness rather than play.
A larger mat gives more room for lateral movement, so exercises beyond straight jumping, such as jogging steps and side-to-side work, become practical. Folding matters more than it sounds, because a rebounder left standing in a lounge room tends to get moved to a shed and forgotten. The 150kg rating covers most adults comfortably.
Fifty inches folded is still a substantial object, larger than the 40 inch model below. Anyone with the floor space and a genuine cardio routine gains from the extra mat. For occasional use in a small flat the 40 inch model below is the better fit.
Pros
- Largest rebounder mat here at 50 inches
- 150kg weight capacity
- Folds for storage
- Room for lateral movement, not just jumping
Cons
- Bulky even when folded
- More rebounder than occasional users need
Key specs: 50 inch diameter; 150kg maximum weight; foldable frame; lightweight durable construction.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE8. Advwin 40 inch Mini Trampoline Rebounder Foldable – Best Foldable
Forty inches makes this the compact option, built around the same foldable frame design as its larger sibling. It is quiet in use, which the manufacturer treats as a selling point rather than an afterthought. Both adults and children can use it.
Quiet running is what makes a rebounder usable in an apartment or upstairs room where the person below would otherwise object. Folded, it slides behind a door or under a bed, which is the difference between daily use and occasional use. The smaller mat keeps movement centred rather than roaming.
A 40 inch mat limits lateral exercises and feels cramped for taller users. Small homes and anyone short on storage will accept that readily. Where floor space allows, the 50 inch version gives a better workout.
Pros
- Folds small enough to store under a bed
- Quiet enough for apartments
- Suitable for adults and children
- Lightweight to move
Cons
- 40 inch mat limits lateral movement
- Cramped for taller users
Key specs: 40 inch diameter; foldable frame; quiet operation; suitable for adults and children.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE9. Centra 12ft Round Trampoline with Basketball Set – Best Value Large
Twelve feet of round mat here arrives with a basketball set, safety net, spring pad and mat as a complete package. The round shape returns a jumper toward the centre. Everything needed for assembly is in the box.
Twelve feet slots neatly between the 10 and 14 foot models above, and for many backyards it is the largest size that leaves usable lawn around it. Including the basketball set and padding in the base package removes the usual round of extra purchases. Round frames are more forgiving for unsupervised jumping because of that centring effect.
The brand is less established than the alternatives higher up this list, and the specification sheet is thinner on spring detail. For a family wanting a large trampoline complete in one box, that matters less than it might. Supervision is still the safety feature that counts most.
Pros
- 12 feet suits backyards that cannot take 14
- Basketball set, net, pad and mat all included
- Round shape centres the jumper
- Complete package with no extras needed
Cons
- Less spring detail published than rivals
- Brand is less established
Key specs: 12 foot diameter; round frame; basketball set included; safety net, spring pad and jumping mat supplied.
CHECK CURRENT PRICE10. Centra 8ft Round Trampoline with Basketball Set – Best Value Compact
Eight feet is the compact end of the round garden range, supplied with the same basketball set, net, pad and mat as the 12 foot version. The frame and components carry over unchanged. Only the diameter differs.
Eight feet fits yards that will not take 10 or 12, while still being a proper garden trampoline rather than a toddler unit. The included accessories match the larger model, so nothing is stripped out to hit the smaller size. It suits one child comfortably.
A smaller mat means a firmer bounce and less room for error near the edge, which is why the enclosure matters at this size. Households choosing on yard space rather than budget should measure before deciding between this and the 12 foot. Both come complete in the box.
Pros
- Fits yards too small for a 10 or 12 foot model
- Same accessories as the larger Centra
- Proper garden trampoline rather than a toddler unit
- Safety net included
Cons
- Firmer bounce than larger mats
- Room for one child only
Key specs: 8 foot diameter; round frame; basketball set included; safety net, spring pad and jumping mat supplied.
CHECK CURRENT PRICEHow to Choose the Best Trampolines in Australia
Measure the ground and the sky before choosing a size. A trampoline needs clear space around the whole perimeter, not just its own footprint, and overhead clearance from branches, eaves and clotheslines. Australian backyards commonly take 8 to 10 feet comfortably while 14 feet needs a genuinely large lawn. Measure first, because the frame diameter quoted excludes the padding.
Spring count matters more than diameter for bounce quality. More springs spread each landing across more points, which softens the catch and reduces stress on the frame. The 14 foot model here uses 80 springs against 64 on the 10 foot, and triple-rate springs vary resistance through the stroke rather than fighting back evenly. Rope-based rebounders trade that spring feel for a quieter, deeper rebound.
Check the weight limit against the oldest child, not the youngest. Toddler trampolines cap out around 25kg, which many children reach by about age seven, while full-size and adult rebounders here run to 150kg. Buying to the current child understates how quickly the limit arrives. It is the single specification most often discovered too late.
Frame treatment decides how long it survives outdoors. Painted steel rusts within a couple of seasons in coastal air, while hot-dip galvanised and marine-grade galvanised frames hold up considerably longer. Ultraviolet treatment matters just as much for the enclosure netting and spring padding, which degrade in Australian sun long before the steel does. Store or cover a trampoline over winter if it will not be used.
An enclosure is not optional for children. Most trampoline injuries involve falling off or landing awkwardly against the springs rather than the mat itself, so a full-height net and thick spring padding do the real safety work. Check that the net attaches inside the springs rather than outside. Supervision and one jumper at a time remain more effective than any hardware.
Decide whether it is play equipment or exercise equipment. A garden trampoline and a fitness rebounder look related and are bought for entirely different reasons, and neither substitutes for the other. Rebounders sit indoors and suit low-impact cardio alongside gear like a walking pad in Australia. If the goal is exercise rather than children playing, buy the rebounder and ignore diameter entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size trampoline is best for an Australian backyard?
Eight to ten feet suits most suburban yards and leaves usable lawn around it, while twelve to fourteen feet needs a genuinely large space. Remember the quoted diameter is the frame, so add clearance for padding plus free space around the whole perimeter and overhead. Measure before ordering rather than after.
How many springs should a trampoline have?
More springs across the same mat give a softer, more forgiving landing and spread load across the frame. As a guide, a 10 foot trampoline with 64 springs and a 14 foot with 80 are reasonable counts. Triple-rate springs vary their resistance through the bounce, which feels gentler than a single-rate spring at the same count.
At what age can a child use a trampoline?
Most manufacturers set a minimum of three years for toddler models with a full enclosure, and Australian guidance generally discourages trampoline use below six for full-size units. Weight limits matter as much as age, with toddler trampolines commonly capped at 25kg. One jumper at a time and adult supervision reduce injury risk more than any feature.
Do trampolines need to be anchored in Australia?
Yes, in most locations. Australian wind events lift unanchored trampolines regularly, and an airborne trampoline damages fences, cars and neighbouring property. Ground anchor kits are inexpensive and should be treated as part of the purchase, particularly in cyclone-prone and exposed coastal areas.
Are mini rebounders good exercise?
They provide genuine low-impact cardio, with the mat absorbing much of the load that running places on knees and ankles. That makes them useful for anyone returning to exercise or managing joint issues. A model with an adjustable handrail is worth having if balance is a concern.
How long does a trampoline last outdoors?
A well-treated galvanised frame lasts many years, but the netting, spring padding and mat degrade far sooner in Australian ultraviolet, often within two to four years. Those parts are replaceable and should be inspected each season. Covering or storing the trampoline over winter extends the life of the fabric considerably.
Verdict
Space is the deciding factor on the garden models, and where a large level lawn exists the Everfit 14FT earns it with 80 triple-rate springs and enough diameter for two children at once. Coastal households and small yards are better matched to the Everfit 6FT, whose marine-grade galvanised frame is the only one here specified against salt air. Anyone buying for exercise rather than play should ignore both and take the Everfit 51inch Hexagon Rebounder, where elastic ropes and an adjustable handrail make sustained cardio comfortable indoors.
