In this guide, we’ll explore how Acon trampolines stand up to the elements and share practical tips for trampoline winter care, sun protection, and overall maintenance. Wondering if you can jump on a trampoline in cold weather or how to protect it from heavy winds? Here, you’ll find everything you need to keep your trampoline in top condition!

Winter Durability: How Acon Trampolines Withstand Freezing Weather

One of the most common questions trampoline owners ask is: can you leave a trampoline out in winter? With Acon, the answer is yes. Acon trampolines are engineered with heavy-duty steel frames and high-quality mat materials that can withstand freezing temperatures, frost, and even heavy snow. The frame design resists bending or warping, even under the weight of snow accumulation, and the jump mat maintains its elasticity despite the cold.

That said, proper trampoline winter care is still important. Here are a few tips to protect your trampoline in freezing weather:

  • Remove snow regularly. Heavy snow left on the trampoline for long periods can damage the springs, so clear it before it reaches 4 inches in thickness. Use a soft broom or brush to gently remove snow from the mat, and avoid sharp tools that might damage the fabric. 
  • Check for ice buildup. If ice forms on the trampoline, allow it to melt naturally rather than trying to chip it off.
  • Inspect the frame. During winter, moisture and freezing conditions can put stress on joints and springs. A quick monthly check ensures everything stays secure.

By following these steps, you can safely use your trampoline in winter while also extending its lifespan. And yes, you can jump on a trampoline in cold weather, but make sure the surface is dry and free of ice for safe bouncing.

Windy Areas: Ensuring Stability in High Winds

Another common concern for trampoline owners is how well the trampoline holds up in windy weather. When designing Acon trampolines, stability is kept in mind. The heavy-duty frame can weigh up to 300 kg, which makes it far less likely to shift or tip during strong gusts.

For families in particularly windy regions, Acon provides extra security options:

  • Anchor kits. Rectangular trampolines come with two anchors, as part of the included anchor kit, and round trampolines have optional ground anchors available. These anchors secure the trampoline to the ground, preventing movement during storms.
  • Inground trampolines. If your area experiences frequent high winds, consider sinking your trampoline inground with our inground assembly guidelines. These trampolines sit flush with the ground, offering maximum stability and eliminating the risk of tipping.

With the right setup, your trampoline in windy weather can remain safe and secure, ready for use once the skies clear. Acon’s Ground Anchor helps to ensure just that, by mooring your trampoline to the ground.

Sun Protection and Hot Weather: Keeping Safe Under the Sun

While winter brings snow and ice, summer introduces different challenges: intense heat and UV exposure. Jumping on a trampoline in hot weather can become uncomfortable if the surface heats up. What’s more, prolonged sun exposure can shorten the life of the mat and padding.

Acon has addressed this with smart design and accessories. All Acon trampoline mats, enclosure nets, and paddings are UV-treated, extending their durability even under strong sunlight.  The Acon Sunshade, tested in extreme 100°F (+40°C) conditions at the 2025 Salt Lake City X-Games, provides effective protection from the sun. It helps keep the jumping surface cooler and shields children from harmful UV rays. This versatile, multi-purpose canopy provides effective protection from the sun, by helping to keep the jumping surface cooler and shielding children from harmful UV rays.

Autumn and Fall: Protecting Your Trampoline from Leaves and Moisture

Autumn weather brings its own challenges. Falling leaves, rain, and increased moisture can collect on the trampoline surface, making it slippery and potentially damaging the mat over time.

The solution is simple: the Acon Weather Cover. This cover shields the trampoline from leaves, dirt, and excess moisture, helping maintain a clean and dry jumping surface. It also reduces the amount of time you’ll spend cleaning your trampoline, while extending its overall lifespan.

Using a trampoline weather cover during autumn ensures your trampoline is always ready for use, without the hassle of constant maintenance.

Tips for Year-Round Trampoline Care

No matter the season, a little care goes a long way in protecting your trampoline. Here are some practical year-round tips:

  • Use protective accessories. Weather covers, sunshades, and anchor kits all play a role in keeping your trampoline safe from the elements.
  • Check connections regularly. Inspect springs, joints, and safety nets every few months to ensure everything is secure.
  • Clean the mat. Remove dirt, leaves, and debris promptly to prevent buildup that can wear down the fabric.
  • Store accessories in off-seasons. If you’re not using the sunshade in winter, store it indoors to keep it in good condition.
  • Consider relocation. If you live in an area with extremely harsh winters, storing your trampoline in a garage or shed during the off-season can add years to its life.

F.A.Q. - Trampolines in Different Weather Conditions

Can you jump on a trampoline in cold weather?

Yes, you can. Acon trampolines are designed to remain safe and functional in freezing weather. Just make sure the surface is clear of ice and snow before jumping.

Can you leave a trampoline outside in winter?

Absolutely. Acon trampolines are built to withstand winter conditions. However, using a weather cover and removing snow buildup will help extend the trampoline’s lifespan.

What is the best way to care for a trampoline in winter?

Clear snow regularly, avoid ice damage by letting it melt naturally, and use a weather cover for added protection. A quick monthly inspection of the frame and springs is also recommended.

Do trampolines blow away in windy weather?

While we cannot guarantee a trampoline will never move in strong winds, properly securing your Acon trampoline can make a meaningful difference. Acon trampolines are heavy and stable, and using anchor kits—or an inground setup—helps keep them safely in place. For areas prone to frequent storms, anchoring your trampoline is the most effective way to reduce movement and improve safety.

How do you protect a trampoline from the sun?

The best way is to use a sunshade or air shade designed for your trampoline model. These accessories not only keep the jumping mat cool but also protect children from UV rays and extend the life of the trampoline’s materials.

Is it worth covering a trampoline year-round?

Using a trampoline weather cover during autumn and winter is highly recommended, as it protects against leaves, dirt, rain, and snow. In summer, a sunshade is a better option to keep the trampoline cool and safe. Switching between these accessories ensures year-round protection.
