After a fun afternoon with friends, your kids ask if they can have their own trampoline. Do you want to please them, but you don’t know what to choose from all the outdoor trampoline models available? Don’t panic, discover 5 tips for choosing the right garden trampoline!
Choose a trampoline adapted to your outdoor space
The first thing to consider before purchasing an outdoor trampoline is how much space you want to reserve for your trampoline. Know that a large trampoline will always be more comfortable and will give your children more freedom to perform all their tricks. So if possible, reserve a flat, open space, at least 2 meters from your walls or your fences, for your trampoline, and choose a large model, unless you are too limited in terms of your space.
Take a trampoline adapted to your use
Depending on the model of trampoline you choose, you will be restricted in your use. For example, the smallest models of trampoline are reserved for children (less than 305cm in diameter). If you want to enjoy your trampoline with your whole family, you should therefore opt for a large size model (at least 370cm in diameter).
Make sure you choose a sturdy trampoline
In order for your trampoline to last over time, you will need to make sure that the model chosen is resistant. Indeed, your trampoline will often be exposed to rain, sun, wind, etc. To withstand these bad weather, it is best to ensure that the canvas and the frame are properly treated (anti-corrosion, anti-UV treatment, etc.).
Accessories side: opt for a safe trampoline with safety nets and ground fixing
To be sure that your children have fun in complete safety, you can turn to a trampoline equipped with a protective net. The net will protect users from falls outside the trampoline. For optimum safety, choose a model with the safety net inside. This kind of safety net will prevent any fall on the frame of the trampoline! Another useful accessory: the anchor kit. This accessory is often sold with the trampoline. It is useful to fix your trampoline on the ground to prevent it from taking off under the effect of your children’s jumps!
Keep in mind that the net is not enough to prevent all accidents!
In any case, when your children are using your trampoline, with or without a net, never leave them unattended. Remember that an adult should always ensure the safety of the trampoline when children are having fun! For a really safe use, have them play in turn to prevent them from colliding.
You now have all the keys to calmly choose the best model of trampoline in your sports store!
