Alright, here's the deal—got a backyard that’s not laughably tiny and want a trampoline that’s actually worth its space? This 9x12 ft Rectangle Outdoor Trampoline, honestly, slaps. Tons of room for the kids to bounce, try questionable flips, or just goof around. And, you know, if a grown-up wants a sneaky jump or two, it can handle that—just maybe don’t try and relive your Olympic dreams.
Let’s talk features because there’s actually some smart thinking here. The safety net wraps around the whole thing, so unless your kid can teleport, they aren’t just flying off the side. Zipper’s pretty foolproof (double-lock L-shaped situation), which is basically a parent’s way of saying, "Stay in." The poles don’t feel like deathtraps either—foam everywhere—so if someone sails sideways, you’re not headed to A&E. Thick pads go over the frame, because, well, gravity.
Frame’s made from some tank-grade galvanized steel—marine spec, inside and out—so unless your weather turns Mad Max-level, it’s not going to rust to oblivion. Jump mat laughs in the face of the Australian sun (UV resistant and everything). The springs? There’s 80 of them, and they’re triple-rate jobs, so you get that sweet spot—big bounce, but not so wild the thing turns into a human cannon.
Sizing? That 366 x 274cm (roughly 9x12ft for humans who hate metric) gives heaps of room. The mat sits about a meter off the ground, and the safety net soars up to 170cm, so you’d have to try real hard to go flying out the top. 150kg weight cap, so most families can pile on unless Cousin Greg’s had one too many BBQs.
If you’ve got a typical suburban block in Sydney, Brissie, Melbourne, Perth—basically anywhere with enough spare grass—this’ll slot in. Just be sure there aren’t overhanging branches ready to clothesline your child mid-bounce.
Couple of safety reminders, and don’t skip these. Set it up on flat, solid earth—don’t get fancy with slopes or the patio. Ladder comes off when you don’t want kids sneaking a midnight bounce. Keep half an eye on the springs, net, and padding—a busted spring will kill the fun fast. After wild weather, maybe give it a quick check so it doesn’t become backyard shrapnel in the next gale.
Heads up on the delivery—it’s bulky, and at 90kg, this isn’t a one-person job. Clear the yard and bribe someone to help you build it.
Value wise? You get the whole lot—the base, safety gear, ladder, pads, everything. Pretty solid, unless you’re trying to host an actual circus. For most families, it nails that sweet spot—safe, sturdy, roomy, but not so massive it turns your backyard into a trampoline graveyard.
Big picture: if you want the kids out of the house, bouncing themselves silly on something that won’t rust or collapse after a single winter, this trampoline’s a winner. Treat it right and supervise (please, for the love of knees everywhere), and it’ll keep everyone entertained for ages.
