When you first get a trampoline, there is always the fear that your children will hurt themselves by falling off. With young children in particular, there is the fear of them running over the edge and older children can always conjure up inventive games to bounce off the trampoline on to the ground or other garden toys.

A trampoline safety enclosure is a good device to help prevent this and put these fears to rest.

Trampoline Safety Enclosures have upright posts which attach at the bottom to the legs of the trampoline. The net hangs from these posts to form a sort of cage to enclose the bouncing area.  Surprisingly enough, the net is strong enough and taught enough to stop children from bouncing off the trampoline unintentionally.

The trampoline safety enclosure should not be climbed, nor the netting be jumped on intentionally as this will weaken the structure.  The Safety net is ONLY intended to reduce the risk of injury from falling off the trampoline, It cannot be a fail safe device and children should still be supervised at all times when using a trampoline. Never allow more than the recommended number or weight of users to play on the trampoline together and never let children take other toys onto the trampoline with them.

There are 2 styles of safety net:  One where the netting sits right around the edge of the trampoline – this allows maximum jumping space inside the enclosure; The other style has netting which fixes at the bottom to the edge of the jumping mat – Some people see these as a better design offering more safety as the pads still offer protection from falling if the safety net were to be breached.
