Best Trampoline for Your Garden in 2026
Trampoline shopping in the UK usually comes down to one question first: what size actually fits the garden. We compared eight Big Foot trampoline sizes, from a 5x7ft rectangular through to a 10x17ft rectangular, by real GBP pricing, included accessories and shape, so you can match the right one to your space and budget rather than guessing.
All eight models here are sold by Sport & Leisure UK, a specialist UK trampoline and leisure retailer, and every price below was checked live on 22–23 August 2026. We haven’t physically tested these trampolines ourselves — the comparison is built from the manufacturer’s own published specifications, included accessories and current UK pricing, not a hands-on review. Where the retailer’s listing left a detail unconfirmed (such as maximum user weight), we’ve said so rather than guessing.

Key Takeaways
- The 8x12ft rectangular (£319.95) is the size we’d point most family gardens toward — enough room for several jumpers without needing an unusually large lawn.
- The cheapest option is the 5x7ft rectangular at £99.95, best suited to small gardens or younger children.
- Bigger isn’t always pricier: the 9x13ft oval (£239.95) currently costs less than the smaller 7x10ft rectangular (£249.95) — always check current prices before assuming size and cost line up.
- Rectangular models from 7x10ft up include a basketball hoop game and shoe-storage net; the oval range swaps those for a weather cover and anchor kit instead.
- All eight come with a full safety enclosure as standard, but the manufacturer states its trampolines aren’t intended for solo use by children under 6.
- Every model here comes from one retailer’s range (Sport & Leisure UK’s Big Foot line) — treat this as a size-and-price comparison within that range, not a survey of the whole UK market.

Measure your garden with a couple of feet of clearance on every side of the trampoline, not just the footprint itself — UK safety guidance generally recommends at least 2m of clear space around the enclosure. The manufacturer states these trampolines aren’t intended for solo use by children under 6, and none of the listings we checked confirmed a maximum user weight, so ask the retailer directly if that matters for your household.
Big Foot 5x7ft Rectangular Trampoline — Best for Small Gardens
5 x 7ft Rectangular trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a ladder, a basketball hoop game and a two-compartment shoe-storage net, plus the standard safety enclosure. The entry point into the range — right for a small garden or a first trampoline, not for a family that wants to bounce together.
- Smallest footprint in the range, so it fits tight UK gardens
- Cheapest of the eight sizes at £99.95
- Full safety enclosure and padding included as standard
- Livelier, more even bounce than an equivalent round trampoline
- Less jumping room for more than one child at a time
- Not the pick if you want space for teens or adults to bounce together
Big Foot 6x8ft 4in Rectangular Trampoline — Best Budget Family Size
6 x 8ft 4in Rectangular trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a ladder, a basketball hoop game and a two-compartment shoe-storage net, plus the standard safety enclosure. The best value step up from the smallest size if your garden can take an extra foot or so in each direction.
- Noticeably more jumping mat than the 5x7ft for £30 more
- Still compact enough for an average UK garden
- Same safety enclosure and padded frame as the larger sizes
- Still tight for more than two children bouncing at once
- Basic ladder rather than the reinforced step-ladder on the bigger models
Big Foot Orbit 7x10ft Oval Trampoline — Best Compact Oval
7 x 10ft Oval trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a ladder, a weather cover and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. Worth it if your garden shape suits an oval better than a rectangle, or if you specifically want the anchor kit included.
- Oval shape gives an even bounce across the whole mat
- Anchor kit and weather cover included, useful for exposed UK gardens
- Hot-galvanised steel frame, per the manufacturer’s spec
- No basketball hoop or shoe-storage net included (oval range skips these extras)
- Manufacturer states it is not intended for solo use by children under 6
Big Foot 7x10ft Rectangular Trampoline — Best Mid-Size Rectangular
7 x 10ft Rectangular trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a powder-coated 3-step ladder, a basketball game, a three-compartment shoe net and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. A sensible middle ground in the rectangular line-up, though the same-size oval is cheaper if shape doesn’t matter to you.
- Enough mat for two or three children to bounce at once
- Upgraded 3-step powder-coated ladder over the two smaller sizes
- Anchor kit included, unlike the two smallest rectangular sizes
- £70 more than the same-size Orbit oval, for a similar amount of jumping space
- Needs a genuinely open patch of garden, not just a corner
Big Foot 8x12ft Rectangular Trampoline — Best Overall for Most Families
8 x 12ft Rectangular trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a powder-coated 3-step ladder, a basketball game, a shoe-storage net and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. If you only read one row of this comparison, this is the size we’d point most family gardens toward — big enough to be worth it, not so big it needs a mansion lawn.
- The size most competing UK buying guides land on as the family sweet spot
- Room for several children, or an adult and child, to bounce together
- Full accessory set: reinforced ladder, hoop game, shoe net and anchor kit
- Needs a genuinely large flat area of garden — measure before buying
- Meaningfully more expensive than the 7x10ft version
Big Foot Orbit 9x13ft Oval Trampoline — Best Value Large Oval
9 x 13ft Oval trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a ladder, a weather cover and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. The best-value large trampoline in this line-up — genuinely cheaper than the smaller 7x10ft rectangular at the time of writing, which is worth double-checking before you buy either.
- More jumping mat than the 8x12ft rectangular for £80 less
- Hot-galvanised steel frame built to hold adult weight, per the manufacturer
- Weather cover included, useful for a trampoline left out over a UK winter
- Oval footprint needs a specific shape of garden to fit efficiently
- No basketball hoop or shoe-storage net, unlike the rectangular range
Big Foot Vortex 10x15ft Oval Trampoline — Best Large Oval for Bigger Gardens
10 x 15ft Oval trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a ladder, a weather cover and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. A big trampoline at a price that undercuts the smaller 10x17ft rectangular by a wide margin — the trade-off is the oval footprint needs more open space to sit well.
- One of the largest jumping areas in the range for under £300
- Anchor kit and cover included as standard
- Oval shape suits larger, more open lawns particularly well
- Needs a substantial, genuinely flat area of garden
- No basketball hoop or shoe net, in line with the rest of the oval range
Big Foot 10x17ft Rectangular Trampoline — Best Premium & Largest
10 x 17ft Rectangular trampoline with safety enclosure
Comes with a powder-coated 3-step ladder, a basketball game, a shoe-storage net and an anchor kit, plus the standard safety enclosure. A serious investment rather than an impulse buy — only worth it if your garden has the space to make the extra length count.
- The largest jumping mat in the range by a wide margin
- Full accessory set included as standard
- Rectangular shape suits serious or older jumpers who want a livelier bounce
- More than double the price of the 8x12ft size for extra length, not extra width
- Needs a genuinely large, dedicated area of garden — this is not a casual add-on purchase
Across the eight sizes we compared, the 8x12ft rectangular is the one we’d point most UK family gardens toward. It’s large enough for two or three children to bounce together, comes with the full accessory set (reinforced ladder, basketball hoop, shoe net and anchor kit), and sits at a price that’s a meaningful step up from the smallest sizes without reaching the 10x17ft model’s premium cost. If your garden genuinely can’t fit an 8x12ft footprint with clearance on all sides, the 6x8ft or 7x10ft sizes are the sensible fallback rather than squeezing this one in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size trampoline should I buy for a small UK garden?
For a small garden, the 5x7ft or 6x8ft 4in rectangular sizes are the most realistic fit once you allow roughly 2m of clearance on every side. Measure the available flat space first, including the clearance zone, before choosing a size.
Is a rectangular or oval trampoline better?
Neither is universally better. Rectangular trampolines tend to bounce more livelily because the springs work at different rates, and can fit narrower plots. Oval trampolines spread the bounce more evenly and often suit gardens with a rounder or wider shape. The right choice depends on your garden’s actual dimensions.
What age is a trampoline suitable for?
The manufacturer states these trampolines are not intended for solo use by children under 6, though younger children can use them with appropriate adult supervision, at the parent’s discretion. Always check the specific product listing for the manufacturer’s current age guidance before buying.
Do I need to anchor a trampoline in the UK?
It’s worth it if your garden is exposed to wind. Several sizes in this range include an anchor kit as standard; for the rectangular sizes that don’t include one, an anchor kit can typically be bought separately from the retailer.
How much space do I need around a trampoline?
Beyond the trampoline’s own footprint, leave clear space on every side — general UK safety guidance suggests at least 2m of clearance from fences, walls, sheds or other obstacles.
Do these trampolines come with a safety enclosure?
Yes, all eight sizes in this comparison include a full safety enclosure as standard, along with a ladder. What isn’t included, such as a basketball hoop, weather cover or anchor kit, varies by size and shape — see the comparison table above.
Where can I buy these trampolines?
All eight models compared here are sold by Sport & Leisure UK. Use the links on each product card above to check current pricing and availability, which can change at any time.
The Bottom Line
- Measure your garden's clear space, including clearance, before choosing a size
- The 8x12ft rectangular suits most family gardens; the 5x7ft suits small spaces or younger children
- Check current prices before assuming a bigger trampoline costs more — that isn't always true in this range
Trampoline shopping comes down to matching a real garden measurement to the right size, not just picking the biggest one you can afford. The 8x12ft rectangular is the size we’d point most family gardens toward, the 5x7ft is the sensible budget and small-garden pick, and the 9x13ft oval is worth a look if you want a large trampoline without the largest price tag. Whichever size you choose, measure your garden’s clear space first and check the manufacturer’s current age guidance before you buy.
- Compare the sizes above against your garden's actual measurements, then check the retailer's current price and delivery cost before buying.
