Choosing the right size trampoline for you will most likely involve several factors such as garden size, price and the age of the user. Our Plum trampoline range in size from 4.5ft to 14ft.

For younger children, our junior trampolines are just the right size for beginners bouncing and fit perfectly into smaller garden spaces. For the more adventurous, our larger classic trampolines are ideal for older children and adults too. The new have the freebound Plum BOWL trampoline which provides a new kind of bounce!!

Bear in mind that it is very easy to underestimate the size of the trampoline once assembled, so a good idea is to map out the size with a hosepipe to avoid any surprises.

Buying a trampoline can be quite an investment, so it’s worth comparing all of the features to make the right choice. 

The warranty available on our trampolines varies depending on the model and where it is purchased. Please refer to the individual product page for more information.

The age that a child can bounce depends on the type of trampoline. Smaller trampolines, such as our junior trampolines, are specifically designed for young children to be safe whilst bouncing. They have a lower height frame and shorter springs for a more predictable, softer, bounce. Larger trampolines are mostly suitable from age 6 through to adulthood.

For more information, please refer to the individual trampoline product page.

You will need to put the trampoline mat on with the springs in the mat lined up correctly with the spaces in the frame. The easiest way to do this is to start with the springs at 12 o clock, 6 o clock, 3 o clock and 9 o clock. This distributes the tension in the mat, with less effort required to pull on the springs. Then fill in the gaps, making sure the springs and frame line up.

Use the supplied spring loading tool to pull the spring taut enough to insert it into the frame. We recommend wearing protective gloves and goggles as occasionally springs may ping off.

The trampoline should be on a level, flat surface.

Always place your trampoline on soft grass - never position the trampoline over hard surfaces such as concrete, decking, patio or compacted earth - not only is this much more dangerous if your child should fall, the impact on the trampoline could damage it. This will invalidate your warranty.

Make sure the trampoline is placed away from obstructions such as sheds, outbuildings and trees, with a 2m safety perimeter around it. It’s important to check for hanging obstructions too such as tree branches and washing lines.

Most trampolines get a lot of use, so it’s important to regularly check for any signs of wear, tear and deterioration. Our quick checklist can help know what to look for:

• Holes, tears or sagging in the jumping mat
• Loose stitching or deterioration in the jumping mat
• Bent or broken frame parts
• Signs of rusting on metal parts
• Broken, damaged or missing springs
• Deterioration, holes and sagging on the enclosure net and safety pad

If you notice any of the above, stop using the trampoline until the problem is resolved. Spare parts can be purchased from our website. If your trampoline is still under its warranty, contact us.

Our range of wooden round pole swing sets are made from whole tree trunks trimmed to size. These natural tree trunks are very sensitive to atmospheric changes and moisture content.  Often naturally occurring splits will appear in the poles. In warm sunny weather the wood shrinks, in wet weather it expands. These physical changes cause the cracks.

The overall thickness of the poles mean that the strength of the beam is very rarely affected by these cracks.

For more information, learn about our wood. If you are still worried, please contact our technical team with photographs of the cracks and they will be happy to take a look.

Our round pole swing sets are made from whole tree trunks which are stripped of bark, trimmed to size and pressure treated to ensure their longevity.

The green substance on the wooden pole, which can be mistaken for mould, is actually a chemical reaction between the wood sap and the chemical used in the pressure treatment.

It is completely harmless and we like to think it adds to the natural charm.

For more information, see about our wood.

Take good care of your swing set and it could last a very long time!

Round pole swings require little maintenance due to their natural properties. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the set, and wipe metal parts and swing seats and slides with a damp cloth and light detergent.

The wood on the swing set was pressure treated with a chemical on production to inhibit rot and infestation.

At the end of each season, treat the swing set with a water based stain for use on children’s play equipment to ensure longevity.

If your swing set is supplied with height adjustable swings, the rope length can be adjusted from x to x cm. Please refer to the individual product page for more information.

If your swing seats are not height adjustable, height adjustable swings can be purchased from our website.

When planning where to put your play centre, make sure you measure carefully and don’t forget to include the 2m safety perimeter – this must be free from obstructions such as buildings, fences, trees and washing lines.

The play centre must be placed on suitable ground such as grass or play bark and never on a hard surface.

If your play centre is supplied with ground anchors, these must be concreted in before the play centre is used. This is to ensure the stability of the toy and to ensure your child’s safety.

Please note that placing your play centre on a hard standing and not anchoring it in will invalidate your warranty.
