Kanga Trampoline Bounce, Safely.

The Kanga Package Explained

A complete kit, not a base unit with optional extras

Cheap trampoline listings are notorious for hiding costs – the frame is the headline, but the net, ladder and anchors are sold separately. Kanga takes the opposite view. Every model in the range, from the 6ft patio-friendly unit to the 12ft family centrepiece, arrives as a single Kanga Package with the essentials already in the box.

Inside, you will find a hot-dip galvanised tubular steel frame cut into labelled sections, high-tension springs, a UV-treated polypropylene jumping mat, a thick foam and PVC spring cover in a bright accent colour, the external safety net enclosure with vertical support poles and padded sleeves, a zipped entrance, a steel ladder that hooks over the frame and a ground anchor kit with corkscrew pegs and webbing straps. There is nothing left to buy on day one – once the box is assembled, the trampoline is ready to jump on.

Why a galvanised frame matters in the UK

British gardens are a wet environment. Trampolines live outdoors year-round, and the frame underpins everything else. Hot-dip galvanising coats the steel inside and out with a zinc layer that sacrificially corrodes before the steel itself does. That layer is the reason a Kanga Trampoline can sit through a Cornish winter, a Manchester downpour season and a North Sea gale without the frame bleeding orange rust down the spring cover.

Tube wall thickness, typically in the 1.2mm to 2mm range depending on the size, is the other quiet specification to look for. Thicker tube means less flex at the legs when a heavy teen lands hard, and a noticeably quieter bounce. Kanga picks thicker wall sections for larger models because bigger mats put more leverage on the frame.

Safety enclosure, properly engineered

The external net design puts the enclosure poles on the outside of the frame, so the jumper lands on the mat and bounces into the net rather than onto exposed springs. A padded sleeve wraps around each pole, a foam-and-PVC cover sits on top of the springs, and the whole assembly is accessed through a two-way zipped entrance that children can operate themselves.

External enclosures are widely considered the safer design for home use, and every Kanga Trampoline uses this layout. The net height is tall enough to contain lively bouncers, yet still translucent enough that a parent on the patio can see inside. When you add a ground anchor kit to the mix, the trampoline becomes a fixed garden feature rather than something that can walk across the lawn in a storm.

Real family use

On a typical weekend morning, a Kanga Trampoline gets climbed via the ladder, zipped into, jumped on for half an hour, then left to air until the afternoon. Rain does not damage the mat, but it does make it slippery; give it five minutes to dry before the next session. Leaves and twigs get pulled off the spring cover once a week – a soft brush is all it takes – and the zipped entrance is checked every month to confirm it closes cleanly. That is the entire maintenance routine for most families.

For jumpers, the routine is simpler still: one at a time, shoes off, nothing sharp in pockets. Modern enclosure designs handle a lot, but the single-jumper rule remains the single largest reduction in trampoline injuries, regardless of size or brand. Our full assembly and safety guide walks through the routine in detail.

If a spring goes soft after a few hundred hours, or a section of padding gets nibbled by an enthusiastic garden visitor, the parts you need are stocked in the Kanga spares catalogue. Frames are built to last many years; mats, springs, pads and nets are consumables that can be replaced without starting over.
