The minimum space required around the trampoline is 11ft x 11ft.  We recommend a minimum of 3ft clearance from the edge of the bounce mat outwards.  Our Flexinet design (the enclosure that surrounds the trampoline) extends outwards to catch a bouncer that falls out of the standard jump area and guides them back into the safe jumping space.  The net is designed to flex to avoid injuries, but it does mean that clear space is required around the trampoline to ensure that there are no hard surfaces in that area.  Our instruction on total space required for a trampoline relates to the mat size (8ft) plus the 3ft clearance space.

The required garden space is important for safety. We recommend a minimum of 3ft clearance around the perimeter of the trampoline, away from walls, structures, fences and other play areas.

A smaller 8ft trampoline is ideal for small gardens or families with younger children. Our 8ft trampolines are slightly lower to the ground to make access easier for little people and it has a lower weight threshold (80kg). We don't have an age restriction (rather a weight one) however we do find that families with children over 12 do tend to consider the larger trampolines in our range as there are less space, height and weight restrictions.
