What is the difference between a standing and an InGround trampoline?

Bouncing on a trampoline is a cherished pastime for many. The sensation of weightlessness as you float through the air, is a thrill like no other! Essential to a good bounce and a soft landing is of course the jumping mat. Depending on which type of BERG Trampoline you choose , you will either have a trampoline with a regular jumping mat, an AirFlow jumping mat or an AirFlow Pro jumping mat.

Depending on which type of BERG trampoline you choose for, you will either have a trampoline with a SoloSpring, TwinSpring or TwinSpring Pro springs. Each one of these spring types is engineered to deliver a superb trampolining experience in combination with the frame and the jumping mat. There is one thing which all springs have in common: they provide better comfort and have a longer life span than regular springs, due to their coatings.

Which quality line is most suitable for me? And where is the price difference in the lines? With all those BERG trampolines, it can be hard to choose the one that suits you best. Choosing the right BERG trampoline depends on your living situation and the space available in your garden, among other things. Quality, safety and durability also play a role. To help you make a choice, we will briefly explain which quality lines BERG has available to you and what that can mean for you. The difference in quality lines is mainly in the materials used. Those materials together ensure a certain jump comfort and lifespan of the trampoline. Check out the difference per BERG trampoline quality line below and decide which one is most suitable for your family!

Towards the end of the year, winter arrives again, with its inherent traits. Cold, snow, rain and frost. During the winter period, it is therefore important to protect the trampoline from this cold. We always recommend storing your trampoline (indoors) as much as possible in winter. This is better than leaving the trampoline outside during this period. Dismantling the entire trampoline is not always convenient, so we recommend at least cleaning and drying the protective edge and storing this part inside. The safety net will also last much longer if you store it the same way. Make sure the trampoline is no longer used during that time though, safety first! But how do you get your trampoline ready for winter? We'll give you some tips!

A trampoline that is dug into the ground (also called InGround or built-in trampoline) is a trampoline that you can install in the ground. The InGround trampolines can also be subdivided into the BERG InGround and FlatGround trampolines, which will look great in your garden. Because the trampoline is so low or even level with the ground, it is less noticeable. As a result, getting in or out is a lot easier and therefore safer than a trampoline with legs. A step by step guide can be found here.

At BERG we sell round, oval (Grand) and rectangular (Ultim) trampolines. If you are looking for a trampoline to buy you may already know what shape trampoline you want. If you're not sure yet, it is always nice to be well-informed so that you can make a better choice. You may not think the shape matters, however, there is a difference between the various trampolines shapes that BERG offers. Of course, all-shaped trampolines are good for jumping on, but it's worth thinking about which shape will suit you best before buying one. The shape mainly relates to the size of the 'perfect jump area' (the area on the trampoline best for jumping) and how much space the trampoline will take up in your garden. So think about this carefully. BERG has a very wide range of trampolines in all different shapes and sizes. You can choose between a round, oval and rectangular trampoline shape. The traditional trampoline shape is round, but as of recently we also have a square trampoline. This shape has the same benefits as a rectangular trampoline. See below what the attributes are for each shape.

When buying a trampoline, you want it to be sufficiently safe so that it can be enjoyed freely. This is why it is important to choose a trampoline which is of high quality and developed with safety in mind; this is the case with all BERG trampolines. A trampoline net also contributes to safety when jumping on the trampoline. Alongside the standard quality marks for our toy trampolines, the following BERG features ensure the safest trampoline experience:

• A good, thick, wide spring cover made of a durable material
• A jumping mat with overlap over the springs
• A high and high-quality Safety Net
• A trampoline net sufficiently spaced from the pole
• A trampoline net with a self-closing entrance (trampoline enclosure)
• A trampoline net with attachments at the top that give way when released, thus braking and absorbing a hard fall instead of abruptly stopping it, which increases the risk of injury

Trampoline and sports, a combination you might not immediately contemplate. But did you know that trampolining is not only fun, but also incredibly good for your health? It is a perfect choice for your daily workout, where you decide the level of intensity. Besides being healthy to do, it also brings endless amounts of fun!

A good trampoline workout (active trampoline jumping) is something everyone can do, and it is a healthy and fun way to get moving. In fact, trampolining makes you happier; jumping on a trampoline has been proven to reduce stress. Jumping increases the amount of oxygen in your blood, which improves circulation. This has two benefits: clearing your lungs and skin, but it will also provide you with a sense of relaxation. So trampolines are definitely not just for children. Using a trampoline for sports and (fitness) exercises is definitely recommended!

After not using your trampoline for a long time, it can be useful to clean it, in short: remove all cobwebs and other dirt. For cleaning the trampoline, it is best to use a cloth with lukewarm water. Do not use solvents, dish soap, soap powder, or hot water.

To prevent leaves and twigs from getting on your trampoline, you can use a weather cover when you are not using the trampoline temporarily. If you do not use the trampoline for a longer period, it is advisable to clean and dry the protective edge (padding) thoroughly and then store it in a dry place.

At BERG, we have been making trampolines for over 20 years, with quality always being our guiding principle. In our development department, the trampolines are carefully designed and technically thought out. We devise and develop every component ourselves, so we can be sure it meets our quality requirements.

A trampoline can be a pretty expensive purchase. That's why it's good to know if a trampoline will last. Whether a trampoline will last long depends on a number of factors. Among other things, it depends on the quality you choose and how well you take care of your trampoline. A BERG trampoline is guaranteed to offer quality and will last a long time, but you can certainly extend the life of your trampoline. You can do this by ensuring proper maintenance, using a cover and storing it in winter. Read all about it here.
