Collection: Berg Trampoline Reviews

Picking that perfect trampoline can be a complex piece of business, with families having to decide on size, shape and safety, alongside build quality and height, all within a set budget. Fortunately Berg Toys have taken notice of this struggle, creating a bespoke trampoline buying experience on their online store, to let families get a firmer hold of the trampolines on offer. But how do Berg’s trampolines stack up next to their popular competitors? This review will cover the range on offer, the fun for the kids, as well as the safety and price of the brand’s trampolines which are important for all parents looking for a garden trampoline.

The Range: endless customisation

Whilst at first glance, the Berg Toy’s range of trampolines may not appear as diverse as the choice offered by their popular competitors, Berg switch out a dizzying catalogue of similar models for a smartly presented customer experience that lets the buyer customise their own trampoline. What looks at first like only four trampoline options: the Elite, Champion, Favorit and Sports, soon unfolds as an endless array of options, with each trampoline series customisable to suit the needs of each family and garden. Using Berg’s unique, online trampoline configurator, the consumer is given great control over their trampoline with an intuitive user interface, alongside simple Fun and Quality meters to guide the customer. Categories to customise include height, shape, quality and size. In the height section Berg supplies four different heights, from a ‘Flat Ground’ trampoline and one slightly raised ‘In Ground’ option, to an In Ground option with a net, and the most popular raised trampoline with enclosure option. No matter what height you select, you’ll be able to pick from a round, oval or rectangle shape on each model, alongside three quality levels, from Favorit, to Champion, to the highest Elite standard. Finally, you’ll find 5 size options running through diameters from 200cm to 430cm, alongside various colour options that increase with the quality levels. With this impeccable array of choice and simple presentation, Berg offer perhaps the best range in the business.

The Fun: room enough to bounce and play

With Berg’s trampoline creation platform providing a helpful Fun meter, it’s clear that fun is on the mind of the designers. With their massive range of sizes, and support for ground trampolines, Berg’s products offer an encouragingly safe trampolining experience that kids will quickly grow to love. That being said, trampolines from Berg Toys don’t quite come with all the fun options of their competitors, whether that be an in-built basketball hoop, or themed overhead cover to turn the trampoline into a castle. But with the massive range of sizes on offer, alongside different shapes all catering to garden use, kids will have more than enough room to come up with their own fun and games.

The Safety: high quality design

With Berg’s high build quality and range, their trampolines prove a very safe product. Berg’s support and focus on ground and In-Ground trampolines make the brand a great option for parents and children worried about bouncing on a raised trampoline, and the potential injuries a fall might entail. At the same time, Berg provides an enclosure as standard with all its raised trampolines, as well as providing them optionally with other trampoline heights. With their XL, higher and safer enclosures, its safe to say that safety comes first for Berg. On top of this, Berg offer a range of trampoline accessories to help maximise safety whilst up on the bounce mat, from additional safety nets, to trampoline skirts to prevent people or pets from going beneath the trampoline, as well as ladders to get children safely on and off the trampoline, and weather covers and anchor sets to keep the trampoline stable and dry in the most unwelcome weather conditions. There may be some worries about how Berg’s quality level options affect safety however. Whilst the highest quality levels do get a slightly larger trampoline enclosure that curves inwards to keep children close to the trampolines centre, the lower quality levels still come with a safety enclosure that is more than adequate to keep young trampolinists safe as they bounce.

The Price: high customisation means high prices

Berg’s trampoline configuration tool gives you all the tools you need to find the right trampoline at the right price. That being said, Berg Toy’s trampolines can be slightly more expensive than the trampolines on offer from their rivals. The smallest round ‘In Ground’ trampoline, without an enclosure, starts at around £230, with a raised trampoline beginning at £299. Prices quickly rise if you pick a Flat Ground option. On top of this, picking a rectangular and oval shape, as well as a larger diameter and higher quality level will all push up prices. This pricing makes it a bit of a balancing act for families on a tight budget, juggling factors such as size, shape and price without going outside an acceptable price bracket. That being said, for families looking for a traditional round, raised trampoline, prices remain competitive with other trampoline brands on the market.

Conclusion

Though a trampoline from Berg Toys can be a large investment for families straying outside the designs of the familiar, raised and round garden trampoline, this European manufacturer offers some of the highest quality trampolines on the market. A Flat Ground trampoline in any garden is sure to excite the kids, and plenty of adults too. With a versatile suite of tools to put together the perfect trampoline, alongside great build quality and top of the range safety design, a trampoline from Berg Toys is a large investment, but a worthy one for any family looking for the very best in back garden trampolining.
