Whats the difference between a round and a rectangular trampoline?
Trampolines were originally designed and built to provide training for high divers and gymnasts. Good performance was vital. Because all the springs on a rectangular trampoline work at a different rate, the response is quick and powerful. You will note that trampolines in sports halls and those used for competitive trampolining are always rectangular. Round trampolines are primarily built for recreational use, so safety and value rather than performance are the main design considerations. What you get with a round trampoline is a big area of bouncy trampoline for your money! What you don’t get is true performance!
