Assembly
Our 4 Top Tips
- do not cut open your new trampoline box with a blade since you can cut straight through the soft fabric of the bed & pads
- attach
the first 4 springs evenly around the trampoline (i.e. at 12 o’clock,
6, 9 & 3 o’clock) so that the bed is evening supported and none of
the springs are over stretched
- build up the remaining springs evenly (i.e. 2 & 8 o’clock, 11 & 5 o’clock etc)
- to save nasty nips & cuts, use a spare spring to pull your trampoline spring towards you
Maintenance
Our 3 Top Tips
- Avoid
locating your trampoline under certain trees since the sap can ‘glue’
the bed, the aphids make a mess & leaf fall makes extra work. A
cover can help to keep your trampoline in tip top condition.
- To clean your trampoline use a mild detergent, warm water & a sponge, then rinse off with plenty of fresh water.
- To increase to life of the bed, you should ensure that the users remove their shoes (socks are fine), belts & jewellery.
Safety
Our 3 Top Tips;
· site your trampoline a minimum of 2m away from obstructions or . . . . .
- fitting a Bounce Arena can help improve the safety of a round trampoline and give added confidence to young bouncers.
- choose
a bounce arena specifically designed for your trampoline. There are a
number of different frame designs, clamping systems and tube diameters
so they are not generally interchangeable.
Frequently asked questions:
Are budget trampolines as safe as more expensive ones?
No,
they are not as safe. Budget trampolines use smaller springs and
usually fewer of them. In order to take the bouncers weight,
these springs are tightly coiled. This creates a taut bouncing
area with much less give than a trampoline that is more generously
equipped with bigger springs and more of them. In addtion, longer
springs mean wider frame pads that create a bigger padded area around
the outside of the bed, keeping the bouncer that little bit further
away from the edge of the trampoline.
Why is there such a difference in prices of the same size trampoline?
The
more expensive trampolines use a lot more material and much more of
that material is of a higher quality. Whilst the only material
that is common to most trampolines is the US made black polypropelene
bed fabric, the way in which the beds are sewn, the centre marks, the
type of spring anchors, the backing fabric and webbing straps
vary. Tubular frames are of differing diameters, wall thicknesses
and finishes. Frame pads vary enormously in width, thickness,
materials used and fixing systems. Ultimately, as with almost
everything, you do get what you pay for.
What's the difference between a round and rectangular trampoline?
Trampolines
were originally designed and built to provide training for high divers
and gymnasts. Good performance was vital. Because all the
springs on a rectangular trampoline work at a different rate the
response is quick and powerful. You will note that trampolines in
sports halls and those used for competitive trampolining are always
rectangular. Round trampolines are primarily built for
recreational use so safety and value rather than performance are the
main design considerations. What you get with a round trampoline
is a big area of trampoline for your money. What you don't get is
true performance!
How long do springs last?
In
the same way that wear of car tyres is affected by how you drive, so
the wear on trampoline springs is affected by the way you bounce.
If you don't overload your trampoline and users always bounce in the
central area of the bed, your springs will comfortably outlast their
warranty period. Regular landings close to the edge of the bed
will reduce spring life.
Can I site my trampoline on sloping ground?
Yes,
provided the slope is less than 1 in 7 or 15%. The uphill legs
can sit in trenches and the down hill legs can be supported on timber
blocks.
Can I site my trampoline on a level patio, concrete or tarmac surface?
The
frames are designed to sit on level grass where they will bed down
slightly. On a smooth hard surface the trampoline will move
around slightly with each bounce. If your round trampoline is to
be sited on a hard surface it is advisable to fit a bounce arena/safety
enclosure.
