Beat the heat on your trampoline
Summer will be here soon enough or if you live in an area of the country where you’re blessed with almost year-round summer and trampoline weather the in-ground and above-ground trampoline experts have tips for how to beat the heat on your trampoline.
One of the biggest tips is to stop jumping in the hottest hours of the day where you live. In most areas of the country the hottest times are between 10 am and 4 pm. Jumping during those hours could lead to sunburn and that will certainly take away some of the fun of having jumped! To prevent sunburn, wear sunblock, wear a hat and wear long sleeved shirts.
Beat the heat on your trampoline
You can add water — with caution. The water will make the jump mat slippery so it’s best if you wear trampoline shoes to help you get traction. Sprinkle water from the hose onto the jump mat and let the splashing water cool you down. Add some water-filled balloons and have a water balloon fight on the trampoline. Make sure if there is more than one person on the trampoline that they are approximately the same weight so there are no crash accidents.
Add a shade on top of the trampoline safety net. This is likely only going to work for those youngest and shortest jumpers in the family. The sunshade will keep the sun from beating down on your shortest jumpers and lets them get in some jump time even if it’s hot, hot, hot.
Stay hydrated. Jumping on a trampoline may not seem like exercise, but it is and because of that you need to stay hydrated, especially if you’re out in the sun. Keep water bottles close by and ensure everyone is drinking regularly.
If you don’t want to jump on the trampoline in the heat of the day, drape blankets around the edges of the trampoline and crawl under and have a trampoline fort picnic!
