There are so many trampolines on the shop today, many of which seem to be getting ever cheaper. Whilst a natural "price reduction" occurs when more suppliers enter a shop and squeeze the margins of existing suppliers, some things can be too good to be true. The reality is, that trampolines can be risky if they are not up to accepted or they are not used safely. In this article, I've tried to summarise the key areas of advice that I all the time pass on to customers and prospective customers of srbWorld when they call me to discuss buying a trampoline.
What do you want a trampoline for?
Diy
This may sound like a indubitably silly question, but it isn't. Look on Ebay, Amazon or do a Google search for trampolines and you will see a wealth of suppliers, all seemingly competitive on price. The reality is that more often than not, you will not be comparing like with like. Consider:
1. Do your children want a trampoline plainly to have a bit of fun with in the garden, or, are your children members of a trampoline club and therefore looking more for a piece of sports tool rather than a piece of outdoor play equipment?
2. how old (and therefore how heavy) your children are.
3. Are you looking for a stock that will last you 5 years plus or plainly a year or two?
By plainly inspecting these three points, you can allowance either the higher end of the shop or the lower.
Do I have room for a trampoline?
A lot of population select 8 ft versions because they have a small garden. This is of procedure a sensible choice, but if space is at a premium, do think if it is sensible to have a trampoline at all. I don't advise to go into trampoline safety in lots of detail in this single article, but the positioning of the trampoline is a key buying decision. Trampolines should be positioned on a flat level grassed or soft outside (i.e not paved areas or on a slope). When in position, there should be a safety zone of at least 2.5m around the entirety of the trampoline. This safety zone should in turn be free of obstructions or other toys. If this is not possible, I would advise against buying a trampoline.
If you can perform the safety zone, but that means that it has taken up the bulk of your garden, select an selection that folds away neatly and quickly so that summer Bbq's, cutting the grass or just other garden fun is not interrupted.
What is the disagreement in the middle of one for £99 and one for say £299 when they look identical?
The honest sass here is sometimes there is no disagreement in the middle of the one your local Diy chain is selling versus a more high-priced version ready online or in a different store. Often, however, there is a big difference, the economy ones effectively working on the premise that it will last a summer or two and then you buy other one. This may well suit you, but be sure to carry our regular inspections to ensure that it is intact. For peace of mind, shop around and come up with a basic specification that balances value and safety. Then plainly search for that at the best inherent price. Watch out for secret delivery charges. Also, don't be tempted by the offer of free ladders. Ladders are mixed blessing, they can assist the easier entrance to the trampoline but they can also allow young children to climb on when you are not looking. My advice, do without the ladder, children old sufficient for a trampoline can indubitably climb on and off safely without one.
When you have made your decision
If you have decided to go for a trampoline that is plainly there for the kids to have a few hours of fun while spring and summer, go for a good potential house trampoline. If something seems too cheap, it probably is, and you may well find yourself replacing it sooner rather than later. Here is the spec I would suggest. I've ready it for a 10ft trampoline as this is a beloved size. In devising this specification I have gone for a good middle of the road trampoline that will last you 5 years plus and will fulfil the requirement of a house trampoline perfectly well. I've also factored in that parents inevitably cannot resist the odd jump or two!
Basic Spec:
o Make sure that the springs are covered with pads. The pads in turn should be covered. The pad width should be in the region on 25cm;
o To get a good powerful jump/spring motion, look for a trampoline that has in the middle of 60 - 64 personel springs;
o A maximum loading weight of 150kg should suit the needs of most families!
o The frames should be galvanised
o Look for a warranty, if only against manufacturing defects or for one year. This helps eliminate sellers who are less than credible.
Having been responsible for buying and selling a range of trampolines over the last three years, I hope that passing on some of my perceive has been of some use to you. I'm all the time happy to be contacted at srbWorld on the perceive details below.
