How To Buy A Family Trampoline
Here are some questions to ask and items to consider:
Location. Where will you put the trampoline? You will want to determine this as this will help you answer the other questions.
Above ground or in-ground trampoline. This goes along with the location of the trampoline. There are benefits and drawbacks to each style and you need to look at your yard with a critical eye and decide where it will go and how it will work with your current landscaping.
What shape do you want? Circle, rectangle, square, octagon. Rectangle trampolines offer more bounce and a larger bounce area. Round ones are better at keeping the rebounder centered on the jump mat.
What size do you want? How many people will be using the trampoline? Remember, to keep jumpers to one at a time or to two who are essentially the same size and weight -- this is a safety issue. Once you know the location of your trampoline, it will be easier to determine the size.
Safety accessories. These include the quality of the jump mat, the springs, the spring covers, whether you have a trampoline enclosure and others. Talk with us about your safety concerns.
