What size is an Olympic trampoline?

How big is an Olympic trampoline?

An Olympic trampoline by size is referred to as 10x17ft in imperial measurements and normally for Olympic and gymnastic club use. They feature in most trampoline play centres across Australia, with kids fast becoming big fans of them and wanting one at home.

• Length: 520cm
• Width: 305cm
• Height: 115cm
• 260kg actual weight
• Requires clearance of 8m above the frame

The major differences between an Olympic trampoline and domestic Olympic-sized trampoline

• The Olympic standard trampoline uses a 2 string hand woven European or Australian mat, that is approx $1000-$1500 for the mat alone.
• Most Olympic trampolines are used indoors.
• When they're placed outdoors for public use the mat changes again to a material finish that requires a paint coating annually to protect it from the UV.
• The height that users can achieve on the Olympic trampoline is generally above the skills and standards of the general public's trampolining skills.
• They aren’t sold with safety netting as the users generally go to heights higher than netting can be installed.
• There is a need to have thick padding on the ground surrounding the trampoline to soften any falls.
• This mat is more abrasive and full covering clothing and socks are recommended for users. 
• The complete trampoline is approximately $5000. 

There are also some structural differences as well to handle the excessive commercial use that they attract

• Angled tubing not round 
• Extra stabilising leg supports 
• Overall steel weight - approx 300kg - 40kg heavier
