How to choose your trampoline?
If the trampoline is a great classic in our gardens, it should not be chosen lightly, since it affects your comfort, use and safety.
Here is a list of criteria to take into account before considering the purchase of a specific model:
- Size : measured by diameter (for round models) or by length and width (for rectangular models), it is directly related to its bounce capacity, but also and above all to the age of the users. A children’s trampoline is generally between 1m40 and 4m in diameter. For children under 5, it must be less than 2m50. Between 6 and 10 years old, we favor those up to 3.50m and for those over 10 years old, we can consider measures greater than 4m.
- Structure : it determines stability and resistance. It is made up of a set of tubes which are generally 1.5 mm thick for about 35 mm in diameter. This last measurement is directly related to other characteristics such as the maximum load in kg. The number of feet influences the balance while the materials are a guarantee of durability. Most are made of hot-dip galvanized steel.
- The jumper or rebound : it allows you to jump and its good grip with quality springs is absolutely essential. Their number and size gives a clear clue to their value. For example, 72 springs on a 4m diameter trampoline provide a good ratio. It is also necessary to check the density of the canvas. The higher it is, the stronger it is. It is usually made of polypropylene and can be covered with a tarp, but this is not always the case.
- The frame cushion and the trampoline protection : in order to avoid any accidents, the frame must be well protected. The quality and thickness of the protective foam must therefore be taken into account. A 25-30mm protective pad is usually a good standard.
- Accessories : A trampoline is often delivered with several accessories. Among the most common, there is the ladder, the storage net or the protective net, for which the closure system and quality must be checked. The protective cover is interesting to fight against bad weather while the anchoring kit improves stability in the face of strong gusts of wind.
