Trampoline Safety Net Replacement in Australia (2026)

A trampoline net replacement is the one part on this site that is genuinely safety-critical rather than merely useful. The enclosure is what AS 4989:2015 spends most of its requirements on, and a net that has gone brittle in Australian sun is not doing the job it looks like it is doing.

Netting is also the part buyers most often get wrong, because sizing depends on your pole count and pole configuration, not just on the diameter of your trampoline.

. Australian retail prices move constantly — always confirm on the retailer’s own page before buying.

What to look for

Measure three things before you buy anything

You need the trampoline diameter measured across the frame from outer edge to outer edge, the number of enclosure poles, and whether the net mounts inside the frame or outside it. A 12ft net for a six-pole trampoline will not fit a 12ft eight-pole trampoline.

Also check whether your net attaches with a rope-and-eyelet system, with straps, or with a sleeve that slides over the poles. These are not interchangeable and the listing will usually only mention it in the specification table.

Inside-mount beats outside-mount, every time

A net mounted inside the frame and springs means a jumper who reaches the edge hits netting. A net mounted outside the frame means they land on the spring pad first. Where you have a choice, take the inside mount — this is the same design logic that makes springless trampolines safer, applied to the enclosure.

If your trampoline is built for an outside-mount net, you cannot convert it by buying a different net. That is a frame design decision made at the factory.

Australian UV is the reason you are reading this page

Polyethylene netting degrades under ultraviolet light, and Australian UV levels are among the highest in the world. A net that looks intact can have lost most of its tensile strength. The test is simple: pinch a section of netting between thumb and forefinger and try to tear it. Sound netting resists. Degraded netting parts with almost no effort.

Do that test at the top of the net, where sun exposure is highest, rather than at the bottom. If it tears, the trampoline is out of service until the net is replaced — not "keep an eye on it".

Buy the manufacturer's net if you own a premium trampoline

For Springfree, Vuly and other proprietary enclosure systems, a generic net is not a saving. The mounting geometry is specific and a generic net either will not fit or will fit badly enough to be worse than the one you are replacing. For conventional steel-pole trampolines, generic nets are fine provided the measurements match.

Kahuna Classic, Pro and Round Rainbow trampolines — and the design to copy if you own something else

Pros

  • **It is an inner net — the manufacturer states it "covers to the inner edge of the trampoline".** That is the single design point that matters most: a jumper reaching the perimeter hits netting rather than the spring pad.
  • Fine-weave mesh, specified by the manufacturer to stop fingers and toes pushing through. That is the entrapment concern AS 4989:2015 addresses, answered with a material choice rather than a warning label.
  • Reinforced weatherproof polyethylene, which is the right material for Australian UV exposure.
  • The zip entry is positioned next to a pole rather than mid-panel, so the opening is supported rather than hanging in free netting.
  • It threads onto the top fibreglass rod, so the poles flex rather than standing rigid — the same principle that makes premium enclosures safer.
  • Free delivery, and Kahuna sell it across sizes for their Classic, Pro and Round Rainbow ranges.

Cons

  • It fits **12ft, 8-pole** trampolines. Kahuna say so explicitly and so do we: a 12ft net on a 12ft six-pole frame will not fit. Count your poles.
  • The listing states the material as nylon in the specification table and polyethylene in the description. Those are different materials — worth clarifying with Kahuna if longevity is your deciding factor.
  • Zero customer reviews on this listing, so there is no owner feedback on how it wears.
  • It is a Kahuna part. If you own something else, check the inside diameter and pole count against the specification rather than assuming a 12ft is a 12ft.

Trampoline Safety Net Replacement — common questions

How often should a trampoline net be replaced in Australia?
There is no fixed interval, because it depends almost entirely on sun exposure. What matters is the condition, not the age: check the netting at the top of the enclosure each season by trying to tear it between your fingers. If it parts easily, replace it. A trampoline in full unshaded sun will need a net far sooner than one under a tree.
Can I use a generic net on a Springfree trampoline?
No. Springfree's enclosure mounts to flexible composite rods rather than rigid poles and the geometry is specific to their design. Buy the manufacturer's replacement.
What size trampoline net do I need?
You need three numbers: the frame diameter measured outer edge to outer edge, the number of enclosure poles, and whether the net mounts inside or outside the frame. All three have to match. Diameter alone is not enough.

How we assess trampolines. We do not run a testing lab and we have not jumped on these trampolines. Every assessment here is built from published manufacturer specifications, the requirements of AS 4989:2015, independent test results published by organisations such as CHOICE, and patterns in verified Australian owner reviews. Where a figure is not published, we say so rather than estimate it.
