ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a circular trampoline includes four backstops that are attached to the base frame of the trampoline. Each backstop includes a backstop bed, which is attached to an arch-shaped backstop frame with a suspension system. Each backstop is mounted to the base frame and extends upwardly and outwardly from the base bed. An apex of each backstop is positioned over the base frame. With this configuration, the backstops surround the user within a court-like protected area and help to prevent the user from falling off of the trampoline. Additionally, four aprons can be attached to the base bed near its perimeter and to a respective backstop frame to prevent the user of the trampoline from stepping on or hitting the base springs and/or the base trampoline frame. The attachment converts a round trampoline bed into a functionally rectangular bed in appearance to the user and provides the same reference point benefits of a rectangular trampoline bed.
