Alright, here’s the thing—if your backyard’s missing that one thing to really give the kids (or, let's be honest, yourself) a reason to get off the couch, this 10-foot curved trampoline with a sunshade and basketball hoop? Not a bad call. Whoever designed this must’ve had a couple of rowdy kids in mind, and probably a sunburn or two—because, man, that shade cover is a lifesaver under the Aussie sun.
So, what’s actually cool about it?
First up, you get a sunshade. Not just any flimsy cover, either—proper PE material that’ll actually block nasty UV. Let the ankle-biters bounce themselves silly without roasting.
And, hey, if your kids get bored of regular jumping (shocking, right?), toss in the basketball hoop—ball and inflator are there in the box. Suddenly, it’s not just a trampoline, it’s a full-on backyard sports centre. Next thing, your lawn’s hosting the Saturday Slam Dunk finals.
Safety? Yeah, it’s stacked. The net is real-deal, thick polyethylene mesh with a double lockdown entrance (clip and zip—like Fort Knox for toddlers, basically). The frame is marine-grade galvanised steel, so if you’re out near the coast or just have unforgiving weather, you’re not gonna wake up to a rusty heap after a couple of storms.
Extra padding is everywhere—thick PVC, foam-wrapped posts, even an easy-to-remove ladder. It’s all mostly kid-proof. Doesn’t mean you should let them go full WWE, but you get the idea.
On the numbers side: it’s 305 cm across (yeah, about 10 ft), with 64 springs that actually give a decent bounce (none of that limp, sad trampoline vibe). Jumps mat sits about 68 cm off the ground, and the whole enclosure is 170 cm high—so, plenty of room for wild flips without anyone launching themselves over.
Weight max is 100 kg—kids and the occasional grown-up acting like a big kid will be fine, but probably don’t let all your mates pile on for some “test” of structural limits. Yikes.
A few things to remember though—you need a flat, grippy patch of land for setup, and don’t forget: the mat doesn’t flip, so get it right the first go unless you want to relive “assembly day” (no one does). And yeah, a quick once-over before the kids hop on now and then is smart, especially after some sketchy weather.
Price sits around $378 (down from nearly $450), including all the fun extras. Actually, kind of a steal considering you’re not running around buying separate bits and pieces.
Bottom line? If you’ve got a backyard begging for action and you want something sturdy, safe, and actually fun (sun cover included, because this is Australia after all), this trampoline hits the sweet spot. Keep an eye on it, use it right, and you’re sorted for years of bouncing mayhem.
