How to Choose the Right Trampoline:
Safety and durability are the two most important features to
consider when shopping for the right trampoline. The right
trampoline can be a lifetime investment. A weak trampoline frame
and/or frame that’s not fully galvanized might last 1-2 years. A thick
and sturdy trampoline, with proper galvanization could last a
lifetime. It’s always difficult for parents to prevent multiple kids
from jumping on the trampoline at the same time, so make sure the
trampoline frame is strong, durable and fully galvanized both inside
and out. Stronger frames will never break, bend or warp with excess
weight or usage. If you’re comparing competitor trampoline
thickness and quality, and want to confirm which trampoline has the
stronger frame and higher user weight limit, ask the company for
the trampoline shipping weight. Assume that the trampoline with
the higher shipping weight should have the stronger, thicker and
more durable frame.
Rust and corrosion are big factors, when dealing with metal and
outside elements, such as rain, snow and sun’s UV. To help reduce
the chances of rust and corrosion, the trampoline should be
galvanized, both inside and out. Some trampolines are just
galvanized on the outside, but not on the inside. Moisture and rain
can get the inside of the tubes wet, thus, causing rust to build on
the inside. Avoid powder coated trampolines. Powder coated
trampolines are not galvanized and only coated on the outside. If
the powder coating ever chips off, that will cause the trampoline to
rust. With no powder coating on the inside, rust will also build on
the inside.
2. Should I Buy a Round Trampoline or Rectangular Trampoline:
Rectangular trampolines can be loads of fun, but are more
expensive. Rectangular trampolines are more expensive, because
they’re harder to design and require more metal. Unlike round
trampolines, rectangle trampolines have a more consistent bounce
throughout the entire mat. The springs will stretch and pull,
depending on whichever part of the mat gets the most tension.
Because of the consistent bounce throughout the mat, trampoline
competitions are always done on rectangle trampolines. Many
athletes of all sports, both amateurs and professionals, will train on
rectangle trampolines to build endurance, coordination and agility.
Rectangular trampolines MUST have at least a 3.0 mm frame
thickness, otherwise, the bounce will not be optimized. Also, if
you’re ever tight on space, rectangular trampolines are much easier
to fit in tight corners.
Round trampolines are very recreational and lots of fun. Lots of
novice bouncers always start off with round trampolines, because
they’re more inexpensive and more common. Round trampoline
bounces are different from rectangle trampolines because of the
center gravity point. Anytime when there is tension on the mat, all
the springs will stretch and pull, gravitating the jumper back to the
center.
What Size Trampoline Should I Buy?
Choosing the right trampoline size can get very tricky. The right
trampoline will depend on budget, age/size of users, multiple users,
yard size and purpose of trampoline usage. With budget, the smaller
the trampoline, the cheaper the price. Yard size can dictate the
trampoline size, but if budget isn’t an issue, go with the rectangle
trampoline. Rectangle trampolines are much easier to fit in tight
corners.
If there are always multiple users on the trampoline at any given
time, it’s always safest to go with the larger trampolines. Larger
trampolines will allow for the users to jump freely, without having to
worry about bumping into each other.
Those who want their trampoline to be used for athletic training
purposes, always consider a rectangular trampoline or large round
trampoline. Rectangular trampolines have a very consistent bounce
throughout the entire mat, so flips and maneuvers can be done
3. more easily. Especially for cheerleading, snowboarding or gymnastic
purposes, rectangular trampolines are perfect.
Single users, ages 7 or younger, a small rectangular trampoline or
14’ round trampoline or smaller will be sufficient. However, if the
child is older than 7, he/she will be going through his/her growth
spurt, so will require a larger trampoline. Always remember, the
child will grow taller and heavier, but the trampoline size will remain
the same. So if you’re in the market for a quality trampoline that
will last, consider the next 3 to 10 years. Will this trampoline be
large enough?
