Gymnasts choice 9X14ft rectangle trampoline review
Thank you for searching out reviews to better understand the rectangle trampolines currently for sale in Australia. Our trampolines are the only rectangle domestic trampolines that do meet and exceed the current Australian standards AS4849 (April 2017)
How 9x14ft came to be a trampoline size
- As a result of direct customer feedback and observing kids on our 8x12ft and 10x17ft trampolines we made the 9x14ft trampoline specifically for tweens and young teens.
- As budding gymnasts develop more skills they want to practice double flips and round outs on their trampolines at home.
- Observing the kids on the smaller 8x12ft we could see that to round out properly they would run out of length, land on the pads a lot and push into the net without having the satisfaction of finishing off properly.
- Our earlier 2011; 10x17ft wasn’t as responsive a bounce as our current one but we found that the younger kids really couldn’t get the height to even attempt a flip. (this is now quite a different trampoline, so read here for more about the 10x17ft trampolines)
- We had to do something for this large group of kids who we just didn’t have the right trampoline for.
- For about 2 years we had an 8x14ft size which served the purpose well. It did seem a little too narrow.
Why the 9x14ft is preferred by gymnast kids
- It wasn’t until we incorporated the power curve into the frame that we made the trampoline to the current size 9x14ft.
- Adding the extra width and the power curve to the long side enhanced the bounce greatly.
- It is now a trampoline that with the standard mat gives kids a rewarding and responsive bounce for height and great length. Popular for 8+ who are after height, and do gymnastics.
- The high bounce mat will give the average user approx 20% better bounce. The added benefit is that the mat due to the slightly different weave configuration has less air resistance and allows the kids to jump longer before fatiguing so they will stay outside to practice and play for longer.
Is a high bounce mat needed?
Generally, if kids have tried the trampoline at our display they choose to have the high bounce mat option and if they haven’t tried it they are still very happy with the bounce from the standard mat.
I mention this that if you have the budget for the high bounce go for it the kids will be very happy if not the kids will still find the standard mat a lovely bounce and will not complain about not getting the desired height. (some kids have actually thought they had the high bounce when they didn’t)

It was an easy process to order and pick up.
The trampoline is much better quality than all other trampolines we have had with the steel frame much thicker and the netting connections robust.
All my other trampolines have fallen apart after 2 - 3 years so interested to see how this performs as ours gets huge traffic with all the kids from the neighbourhood

I have 5 kids and so we needed something big enough and strong enough to accommodate them all. The trampoline we received is great. Said it would take 2 men 8 hrs to set up. Took 1 mum (me), and 2 kids 4 hrs.. All the kids Love it. great sturdy product with plenty of bounce

Hi Julie & Andrew,
It was so nice to deal with a family business whose highest priority is customer service and product satisfaction.
I was not home when DH & DD decided to set up the trampoline. Note for anyone reading this: The trampoline is heavy, so make sure you put it where you want it. They decided to put the trampoline up right outside the kitchen window. Not my choice of locations, but that's where it is staying. On the positive side, it is great to see the children having so much fun and watching their abilities increase.
In short, fantastic business to deal with, extraordinary product. Highly recommend both the company and trampolines to anyone trying to choose. Yes they are more expensive, but I haven't seen any other trampoline come close to this in quality. As for the frame, I can't imagine how it would ever have a problem needing the warranty. It is very strong.
Thanks for the years of family fun you have provided.
Sharon

What an awesome trampoline, it required a couple of people to put it together as there were no screws (great) and when together is as solid as a rock, fantastic shape for my little cheerleader, the service was above and beyond and the price reflects the overall quality of the product, I'm very pleased with our purchase, thank you :)

"The trampoline helps me try new skills before trying them out on the gym floor. We can practice skills at home that we have learnt at gym to improve them" Sienna

"We use the trampoline nearly every day. We are able to try new skills without being scared, because of how bouncy the trampoline is and because of the safety net. Being bigger than a normal trampoline means we can do a series of tricks." Natasjia

Hi Julie,
Thanks for calling yesterday. Looking forward to delivery today of the last box, I appreciate you following that up.
No one from TNT has contacted me as yet. However, we had Telstra come out and they have removed the wire that was stretched. Thankfully it was an old line and as we are now all on NBN it was not connected to anything.
I still, however, feel I would like to hear from TNT as to why their drivers are so careless.
We have half assembled our new tramp just waiting on nets, but so far we are extremely happy with our purchase and would refer you guys to anyone we know looking to buy a tramp!!
The quality is outstanding.
Thank you so much for your customer relations your service has been above and beyond which is hard to find when buying things online.
Thanks again
Bree Y
