Which BERG trampolines are there?

- Favorit: the core series, round, with SoloSpring springs according to the product information. There is also an oval Grand Favorit of 520 by 345 cm.
- Ultim: the rectangular version, such as the Ultim Favorit Regular 330 of 330 by 220 cm.
- Champion: the sturdier series, with TwinSpring springs set in a V and an AirFlow Pro jumping mat. The Champion Regular 330 comes with a Deluxe net.
BERG also separates an in-ground trampoline with a net, such as the Favorit InGround 380, from a Sports model without one, such as the Sports Favorit InGround 380. For the latter, a Comfort net is available as an option according to the product information.

Which EXIT trampolines are there?
EXIT makes many trampolines in black or with a black pad, and uses curved poles for the net so that it stays taut around the jumping area. The series:
- Silhouette: the entry series, on legs and in-ground, round and rectangular. According to the product information, the fluorescent green zip shows at a glance whether the net is closed.
- Allure Classic and Allure Premium: with the EXIT Foot Protection System, a net between the mat and the pad so that feet cannot slip between the springs. The Allure Classic 366 takes up to 130 kg according to the product information; the Allure Premium 244 x 427 has a Premium net with an overlapping entrance.
- Lotus Premium: with L-shaped legs, an extra thick pad and a self-closing entrance.
- Tiggy: a small 140 cm junior trampoline with elastic bands instead of springs.
In-ground jumping is possible with or without a net. The Silhouette Sports in-ground 366 comes without a net and sits level with the grass.
EXIT Silhouette 244 x 366: rectangular on legs
Rectangular on legs, with a 177 by 299 cm mat according to the product information, up to 120 kg and with a net.

In-ground trampolines: how do the three brands differ?
All three have in-ground trampolines. The big difference is how high the pad sits above the grass and whether a net is included.
| Brand and series | Height according to product information | Net |
|---|---|---|
| BERG Favorit InGround | Slightly above the lawn | Comfort net included |
| BERG Sports Champion InGround | 20 cm frame, slightly above the lawn | No net |
| EXIT Silhouette in-ground | Low step, in a bowl-shaped pit | Net included |
| EXIT Silhouette Sports | Mat level with the grass | No net |
| Salta Premium Ground | Jumping area level with the grass | Net included |
| Salta Royal Baseground Sports | Jumping area level with the grass | No net, sold separately |
When the jumping area is level with the grass, the trampoline barely stands out and a robot mower can work around it, with the right guard. How to dig the pit and how much space to keep around it is covered in what size trampoline fits your garden.
EXIT Silhouette in-ground 366: low with a net
Round and in-ground, according to the product information up to 120 kg, with a 183 cm high net.
Salta Royal Baseground Sports 366: level with the grass
In-ground without a net, with the Air Performance System for airflow between mat and pad. According to the product information up to 120 kg, with a TÜV label. A matching Ground safety net is sold separately.
What weight and warranty do you get with BERG, EXIT and Salta?
Maximum user weight and warranty depend less on the brand than on the model. The comparison table lists them per trampoline. According to the product information, most large models take 120 kg; the EXIT Allure Classic and Lotus Premium 130 kg, the Salta Premium Black 150 kg and the Salta First Class 180 kg. The BERG Ultim Champion InGround 330 stops at 100 kg.
Watch out with small sizes: the maximum is often lower there. For the 244 cm EXIT Silhouette in-ground, the product information lists 50 kg. The maximum weight applies to one jumper, not to all jumpers together.
Check the warranty per model
Within one brand, the warranty sometimes varies more than between brands: at BERG from 2 to 10 years in the product information. Check with the manufacturer what it covers, for example the frame, springs or net.
Which safety net comes with it?
With children, a net is not a luxury. All three brands have models with and without a net, and the nets themselves differ in entrance and poles.
- BERG: Safety Net Comfort or Deluxe. The separate Comfort net has an overlapping door instead of a zip, according to the product information.
- EXIT: curved poles that keep the net taut; on the Allure Premium and Lotus Premium an overlapping or self-closing entrance.
- Salta: a double-sided zip on the Comfort Edition, a self-closing entrance on the First Class and Premium Ground.
The brand decides how the net closes, but you decide whether it is closed. A net only helps if the entrance is shut again after every jumper.
Buying a Sports model without a net? Check that a separate net exists for your size, such as the Salta Ground safety net 366. Nets and ladders from one brand usually do not fit another brand’s frame.
Which accessories fit: ladder, cover, anchor kit and robot mower guard?
Under play equipment accessories you will find ladders, covers, anchor kits and nets per brand. Always choose an accessory that matches your brand, shape and size.
- Ladder: handy on trampolines with legs. EXIT has ladders per frame height, such as the ladder for 80 to 95 cm; BERG has a ladder platform. The Salta First Class comes with a ladder.
- Anchor kit: keeps a trampoline on legs in place in strong wind. There are kits from BERG, EXIT and a universal kit from Salta.
- Cover: protects the mat from leaves and dirt in autumn and winter, such as the 366 cm Salta cover.
- Robot mower guard: EXIT has a robot mower guard for in-ground trampolines which, according to the product information, stops the mower from going under the trampoline.

Whichever brand you choose, the rules are the same. For BERG, the product information specifies use under the direct supervision of an adult; for Salta, that the trampolines are not suitable for children under 36 months.
Most accidents happen when children collide or land on each other. Let them take turns.
Close the zip or check that the entrance has closed itself before anyone jumps.
Especially with young children and friends who come to play.
After a storm and at the start of the season, check the springs, pad, net and anchors.
How much free space to keep around a trampoline applies to every piece of play equipment. Read more in garden play equipment: space, fall zone and anchoring.

Common mistakes when choosing a brand
Click each pitfall you already avoid.
Choosing on brand alone
The series says more than the brand. Compare the weight, net and warranty of the model itself.
Buying a Sports model without a net
With all three brands, Sports means: no net. Budget for a separate net if children will be jumping.
Accessories from another brand
Ladders, nets and covers are made for a specific frame. Choose the brand and size of your trampoline.
Treating the maximum weight as a group weight
The weight in the product information applies to one jumper. One at a time.
Checklist: compare this before you choose

Frequently asked questions
Is BERG, EXIT or Salta the best trampoline?
None of the three is best at everything. BERG has many series, both on legs and in-ground, and for some models the product information lists a long manufacturer’s warranty. EXIT stands out with sleek black finishes, curved net poles and, on Allure and Lotus, a net that keeps feet away from the springs. Salta has the most entry-level models and, with the First Class, a trampoline for a higher weight. Choose on placement, size, maximum weight and the warranty of the model itself.
Which trampoline brand is the cheapest?
On average Salta starts lowest, followed by EXIT and then BERG. Leaving out the small junior trampolines, large trampolines start from approx. €180 at Salta, from approx. €240 at EXIT and from approx. €560 at BERG. Do check what is included: some models come without a safety net, which you then buy separately.
How long is the warranty on a trampoline?
It varies by model, even within one brand. The product information on bol lists, for example, 10 years for the BERG Sports Champion InGround 380, 5 years for the BERG Favorit Regular 380, 3 years for the Salta Comfort Edition 366 and 1 year for the EXIT models in this article. So check the warranty per model, and see the manufacturer for the exact terms.
Can several children jump on a trampoline at once?
The safest option is to let one child jump at a time. Most accidents happen when jumpers collide or land on each other. Always supervise, close the net and stick to the maximum user weight in the product information.
