The Perfect Fit in Melbourne: Sizing Up Your Backyard with an 8ft Trampoline

Trampolines are perfect for keeping the kids entertained, getting some exercise and creating fun memories with family and friends. But how do you know if your yard is the right size for an 8ft trampoline?

Melbourne is a city that is well-known for its beautiful parks, gardens and outdoor spaces. It's a city that encourages its residents to spend time outside, enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and natural surroundings. And what better way to do that than with an 8ft trampoline in your backyard? An 8ft trampoline is the perfect size for families with small to medium-sized backyards. It's small enough to fit in most yards but big enough for kids and adults alike to enjoy. 

 

But before you rush out and buy an 8ft trampoline, there are a few things you need to consider.

Size of your backyard

For starters, you need to make sure that your backyard is actually big enough to accommodate the trampoline. You'll need a flat, level area with enough space around it to ensure that there are no obstacles or hazards nearby.

 

Here at Kahuna, we recommend keeping a 2-metre wide clearance around the entire trampoline. This means that if you're planning on placing the trampoline up near a fence or wall, you'll need to make sure that there is at least 2 metres of clearance on both sides or a backyard space of at least 6.5m x 6.5m to fit an 8ft trampoline comfortably. 

 

It's also important to consider the height of the trampoline. An 8ft trampoline requires at least 8 metres of clearance above the trampoline mat to ensure safe jumping. 

 

You'll also need to think about where you want to place the trampoline. Ideally, you want to choose an area that is shaded and protected from the elements. This will help to prolong the life of the trampoline and ensure that it stays in good condition for years to come.

 

If you're not sure where to place your trampoline, we recommend that you look for an area that is:

 

- Flat and level

- Away from trees, fences and other obstacles

- Protected from the wind and sun

- Close to a water source

 

Once you've found the perfect spot for your 8ft trampoline, it's time to start thinking about safety. Trampolines can be a lot of fun, but they can also be dangerous if they're not used properly. That's why it's important to follow some basic safety rules when using an 8ft trampoline.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

- Always supervise children when they're using the trampoline

- Only allow one person to use the trampoline at a time

- Make sure that the trampoline is properly assembled and in good condition

- Ensure that the area around the trampoline is clear of hazards and obstacles

- Do not allow children or adults to jump off the trampoline

- Do not use the trampoline during wet or windy conditions

 

One of the biggest benefits of an 8ft trampoline is its compact size. Unlike larger trampolines, an 8ft trampoline can easily fit in most backyards, making it a great option for families in Melbourne who may have limited space. Plus, it's easy to set up and take down, making it a great option for seasonal use.

Installation

When it comes to installation, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Make sure the trampoline is secured to the ground and all safety features are installed correctly before allowing anyone to use it. It's also a good idea to supervise children while they are using the trampoline to ensure they are using it safely.
