What is a trampoline safety enclosure?

A trampoline safety enclosure is an accessory part to a trampoline that acts as a safety system preventing jumpers from falling off the trampoline or causing damage to the frame. A safety encore kit includes poles and net. Various entry systems can also be part of the design of the trampoline safety enclosure for round and rectangular trampoline enclosures and can be made with velcro, zippers, or other materials.

They were invented in the late 90’s and by 2006, 80% of trampolines were shipped with a safety enclosure. They are a recommended, but optional part or accessory to the trampoline. They are a great idea for families with children and can prevent severe injury.

Trampoline safety nets can be installed on both in ground and above ground trampolines. They are also available for all shapes, including rectangle, round, and octagon trampolines. Safety enclosures are less common for in-ground trampolines because of their ground-level height. If your trampoline is close to an object such as a fence, concrete or tree you might want an safety enclosure system on your in ground trampoline. It’s recommended to have at least 6’ from any hard object around your in ground trampoline without an enclosure installed

Are trampoline safety nets universal?

Some trampoline safety nets can be considered “universal” and some trampoline safety nets are brand specific. Two determining factors for all safety net enclosure systems are size and shape.

For example, some safety nets can be installed on various brands of trampolines but the shape of the trampoline, as well as the size, does matter. You won’t be able to install a safety net or safety enclosure intended for a rectangle trampoline on a round trampoline and vice versa. Universal trampoline nets have a stretchy characteristic that allows them to be installed on various trampoline brands if the size and shape are correct

That being said, trampoline safety enclosures can also be brand specific and therefore not at all universal -  like the Avyna safety pole enclosure net system. Brand specific safety enclosures can sometimes be more visually appealing, and may have specific features tailored to the trampoline like exposing the trampoline pads or a unique entry system.

Recently, more and more American families have seen amazing benefits of having a trampoline in their yard. Kids never seem to lose their enthusiasm for them, while parents have found a new form of fun, low-impact exercise.
