Before we answering the question on how long does it take to put a trampoline together, we should discuss the different sizes. So what size trampoline do I really need? According to whatkids.co.uk [1]https://www.whatkids.co.uk/trampolines/guides/what-size/, you should buy a Trampoline that will fit in your garden or jumping area, that would be ideally free from any nearby objects or obstacles that could cause injury to any child using the trampoline. It should be age suitable for the children using the trampoline. The most popular size of Trampoline is the 8ft trampoline with enclosure. It’s currently the most sought after size and the reason why is that it is suitable for children from as young as 4 years old and can usually support up to 75 KG which is 11 stone, 8 lbs. So this can easily support from 4 years old to 12 years old easily.
So how long it takes to assemble a trampoline? It depends on the trampoline.[2] https://blog.oztrampolines.com.au/how-long-take-assemble-trampoline/ If you have an 8ft trampoline, it will be different from if you have a 14ft trampoline. The bigger the trampoline, the longer it might take since it will have more springs and they might take time to fit.
The average time it takes to assemble a trampoline is two to five hours if you are doing this alone. See our chart below to estimate the assembling time based on the type and size of your trampoline.
