Types of trampolines
Structures are divided into frame and frameless.
An example of the latter is inflatable structures, which kids in amusement parks so love. In the country, you can install the same, but in miniature.
Inflatable models are an excellent option for the little ones. They can look like a house, a castle, a toy car, or a funny little animal. They are often sold as a small play complex combined with a slide and a mini-pool.
Such a structure is easy to transport, move from place to place. Install it on a soft substrate so as not to damage the bottom on sharp stones or branches.
Frame models represent a canvas made of a particular fabric, fixed to the frame with springs. The structure is installed on legs. They can be open or equipped with a restraining net, in which case it will be safer to jump on them.
In tall models, the net can also be installed on the bottom of the trampoline, covering the spaces from the canvas to the ground. It is necessary so that no one goes under the canvas during jumps – such protection will avoid accidental injuries.
Criteria of choice
When choosing a trampoline model, you must, first of all, decide who will use it.
- It is better for kids under ten years old to buy an inflatable trampoline – bright, fun, soft, and safe.
- Teenagers – lovers of active high jumps. A-frame model is suitable for them, capable of withstanding a load of 100 or more kg and a tent diameter of at least 2.5 m. Adults can also use this trampoline.
When choosing, pay attention to the strength of the canvas, the reliability of the springs, and the stability of the structure. If the network is high enough, a ladder will be needed for convenient use.
