Above Ground vs. In-Ground Trampolines: Which Is Right for You?
The biggest decision most buyers face is whether to go above ground or in-ground. Here's how they compare:
Installation — Above ground trampolines win on ease and speed. No excavation, no pit to dig — just assemble the frame and you're jumping. In-ground trampolines require digging a pit to the right dimensions, which takes more upfront effort. If you want to be jumping this weekend, an above ground model is the clear choice.
Variety — Our above ground trampolines collection offers more variety in shapes and sizes — round, rectangular, and oval — from compact 7'x10' models to massive 10'x18' Pro-Series rectangles. Our in-ground collection is focused specifically on the Akrobat Primus Flat series in round and rectangular configurations.
Aesthetics & Safety — In-ground trampolines sit flush with the yard for a cleaner look and lower fall risk. Above ground trampolines sit on a raised frame — enclosure nets (included on select models) significantly reduce fall risk and are a must for families with younger children.
Budget — Above ground trampolines generally offer a lower entry price point. Our above ground lineup starts at $549.99, making it accessible for a wide range of budgets. Contact our team if you're on the fence — we'll help you find the right fit.
Why Akrobat?
Akrobat is one of the most respected trampoline brands globally, with two above-ground series: the Orbit Pro round series and the Challenger rectangular series — both built with galvanized steel frames, UV-resistant jumping mats, and high-tension spring systems for consistent, controlled bounce.
Why JumpKing?
JumpKing is known for accessible price points, durable construction, and a lineup that spans entry-level recreational models to large Pro-Series rectangles — including a trampoline with built-in basketball hoops and one of the only multi-level oval designs on the market.
Round Above Ground Trampolines: Akrobat Orbit Pro Series
Round trampolines are the most popular shape for family use. The circular geometry naturally directs jumpers toward the center of the mat, making them inherently safer and more forgiving — especially for younger children. The Akrobat Orbit Pro above-ground series comes in three sizes:
10ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro Above Ground Trampoline
The 10ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro is the most compact round option in our above-ground lineup — ideal for smaller yards, younger children, or families who want a premium-quality trampoline without a large footprint. It delivers full Akrobat build quality in a size that fits nearly any backyard.
12ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro Above Ground Trampoline
The 12ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro is the sweet spot for most families — large enough for multiple jumpers and enthusiastic use, compact enough to fit in a typical backyard. It's our top round recommendation for families with kids of mixed ages and is one of the most popular models in the above ground trampolines collection.
14ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro Above Ground Trampoline
The 14ft Round Akrobat Orbit Pro is the largest round option in our above-ground lineup — offering a generous jumping surface for older kids, teens, and adults who want serious bounce room in a round configuration. It's the best round above-ground trampoline for families who prioritize space without switching to a rectangular shape.
Rectangular Above Ground Trampolines: Akrobat Challenger Series
Rectangular trampolines deliver more usable jump surface per square foot than round models and produce a more powerful, responsive bounce — preferred by athletes, gymnasts, and serious jumpers. The Akrobat Challenger series comes in four sizes:
11ft x 8ft Akrobat Challenger Above Ground Trampoline
The 11ft x 8ft Akrobat Challenger is the entry point into the Challenger rectangular series — a great choice for families stepping up from a round trampoline or those with moderate yard space who want the performance benefits of a rectangular shape.
14ft x 10ft Akrobat Challenger Above Ground Trampoline
The 14ft x 10ft Akrobat Challenger steps up to a large, competition-style jumping surface with serious bounce performance. It comfortably accommodates multiple users and is the right choice for families who want a premium rectangular trampoline that can grow with their kids.
17ft x 10ft Akrobat Challenger Above Ground Trampoline
The 17ft x 10ft Akrobat Challenger delivers an exceptionally large jumping surface in the standard Challenger build — ideal for teens, adults, and athletic families who want maximum space and performance from a rectangular above-ground trampoline.
17ft x 10ft Akrobat PLUS Challenger Above Ground Trampoline
The 17ft x 10ft Akrobat PLUS Challenger is the flagship of the Akrobat above-ground lineup. The "PLUS" designation means an upgraded frame, enhanced spring system, and superior bounce performance across the full 17ft x 10ft surface. It's the ultimate above-ground rectangular trampoline for serious athletes and performance-focused families who simply want the best.
JumpKing Above Ground Trampolines
JumpKing rounds out our above ground trampolines collection with six models that cover entry-level recreational use all the way up to large Pro-Series performance rectangles.
JumpKing 7'x10' Rectangular Trampoline
The JumpKing 7'x10' Rectangular Trampoline is the most compact and affordable rectangular option in our lineup — a practical choice for smaller yards, younger jumpers, or families looking to get into a rectangular trampoline at an accessible price point.
JumpKing 10'x15' Rectangle with Basketball Hoops and Enclosure Net
The JumpKing 10'x15' Rectangle with Basketball Hoops and Enclosure Net is one of our most popular trampoline models, and for good reason — it comes fully loaded with two powder-coated basketball hoops with breakaway rims, an enclosure net for safety, and a ladder, all at a highly competitive price. It's the best choice for families who want a complete backyard activity center in one package.
JumpKing Pro-Series 10'x16' Rectangle
The JumpKing Pro-Series 10'x16' strikes the balance between serious jump surface and manageable footprint — Pro-Series performance without going all the way to 10'x18'.
JumpKing Pro-Series 10'x18' Rectangle
The JumpKing Pro-Series 10'x18' is the largest rectangular trampoline in our above ground collection — a massive surface built for serious athletes and families who want the most space possible, rivaling professional-grade training trampolines.
JumpKing 10'x17' Multi-Level Oval Trampoline
The JumpKing 10'x17' Multi-Level Oval Trampoline is one of the most unique models in our lineup — a dual-level oval design that adds a new dimension of play for families and kids. It's a standout choice for anyone who wants something beyond the standard trampoline experience.
Choosing the Right Size Above Ground Trampoline
The right size depends on your yard, the ages of your jumpers, and how you plan to use it.
For younger kids (under 10): The 10ft Round Orbit Pro or JumpKing 7'x10' are appropriately sized and require the smallest footprint.
For families with mixed ages: The 12ft Round Orbit Pro, 11ft x 8ft Challenger, or JumpKing 10'x15' with Basketball Hoops hit the sweet spot — plenty of room for everyone.
For teens, adults, and serious jumpers: The 14ft Round Orbit Pro, 17ft x 10ft Challenger, 17ft x 10ft PLUS Challenger, or JumpKing Pro-Series 10'x18' deliver the space and performance for serious use. Not sure which size fits your yard? Contact our experts — we'll help you figure it out.
Build the Ultimate Backyard Recreation Setup
An above ground trampoline is the centerpiece of a great backyard — but the best setups layer in more. Complement your trampoline with bounce houses for younger kids, backyard games like cornhole and bocce for the whole family, and water trampolines from Island Hopper and Aqua Jump for lakefront properties.
