Types and tips for choosing trampolines with a net

A street trampoline with a safety net fence is an excellent purchase for a country house or summer cottage. This sports attribute will be an excellent trainer for both baby and adult men and women. To improve the functioning of the vestibular apparatus, develop endurance and concentration, just 10-15 minutes of funny jumps are enough. During such exercises, all muscle groups are involved, reaction speed and strength increase.

Like any sport, trampolining helps to strengthen the cardiovascular system. both in babies and adults, and also help fight excess weight. Children will be able to overcome their fear of heights and throw out excess energy after school days, because such a pastime is not only useful, but also very fun. And in order for the trampoline to deliver maximum pleasure and minimum hassle, it is necessary to choose the best offer among the whole variety of sports goods.

The whole variety of trampolines can be divided into several varieties, depending on the characteristics. First of all, according to the place of installation, they are divided into:

• homemade, suitable for an apartment;
• outdoor, that is, ordinary country trampolines and special sports simulators.

The former include more compact simulators with a smaller area and height. The diameter of the area of ​​such a trampoline is only from 140 to 244 cm, the simulator can easily fit not only in a private house, but also in a medium-sized room. The latter are more massive and more reliable. The height can reach three meters or more, and the diameter ranges from 305 to 366 cm. There are special sports trampolines for professional training and performing various tricks. Basically, they are made in the form of long "tracks" of at least 400 cm, while the width is about 140-200 cm.

Depending on the design, trampolines can be divided into two types.

• Inflatable, made of dense PVC. Most often, such trampolines are made in the form of islands or castles, equipped with large slides, towers and ladders. Often, the shape of such a trampoline can be irregular, represent whole houses with a roof and windows.
• Frame, which are a dense fabric cloth, put on a metal frame. Due to the spring system that keeps the canvas taut, the shape of such trampolines is round or square. If the sports equipment has a large height, a small metal or rope ladder may be attached to it.

Wireframe models can be divided into 3 types, which differ in the location of the protective mesh.

• No mesh. This design is a large "table" without any obstacles.
• With mesh inside. In such models, the mesh is located in front of the springs and protects a person from contact with metal parts.
• With mesh outside. Such a net will protect against falling to the ground, but will not protect against contact with stiff springs and struts.

Before any major purchase, you need to understand all the advantages and disadvantages of the product. Among the advantages of such an acquisition, several positive qualities can be noted.

• Versatility. This sports unit is suitable for children and adults, bringing different generations together.
• Wide choose.This model is the most popular on the market, it is produced by a large number of manufacturers of sports equipment.
• Security. The presence of a protective net will help avoid injuries and falls for both babies and their adult relatives.
• Ease of customization. The "bouncing" of a frame trampoline can be easily reduced or increased by changing the number of springs.
• Reliability. Metal structures are generally more durable than inflatable trampolines. And in the event of a breakdown, it is enough to replace one element, and not to purchase a whole new product.

Among the disadvantages of such an acquisition are:

• high cost;
• complexity of installation;
• requirements for the installation site (the frame system requires a larger area than the inflatable);
• purchase of additional accessories (the ladder is not always included).

Before you go to the store, you need to decide on the main parameters of the trampoline that you plan to purchase.

The convenience of using a trampoline on a frame directly depends on its size. In order for one child to be able to practice on it, a diameter of up to 150 cm is enough.

For sports activities with the whole family, you will need a large trampoline with a diameter of 350 to 400 cm.

Unlike household equipment, an outdoor trampoline must withstand sudden changes in temperature and rainfall well. It is advisable to choose a material that allows moisture to pass through in the jumping zone and is repulsive at the points of attachment of metal parts. In the first case, the permatron will be the best choice, and in the second, ordinary PVC fabric with a thickness of about 500 den.

It is impossible to sew up a burst trampoline material, so it is better to choose a sturdier covering that can withstand a lot of weight. For a children's exercise machine, a trampoline for 100-150 kg will be enough, but for adults it is better to choose a model that can withstand a load of 200 to 250 kg.

The more springs keep the canvas taut, the more it will spring. For kids, only 30-50 springs are enough, such a trampoline will not throw the child too much and will not create a dangerous situation.

And for playing sports and training various tricks of an adult, there should be at least a hundred springs.

A safety fence capable of stopping the fall of one child should be mounted on only 4-6 metal posts. For two children or a teenager, it is necessary to increase their number to 8-10. For a large sports trampoline, you will need at least 10-12 racks, on which a dense protective net will be stretched.

The frame, made from a metal frame, can vary in thickness from 1 to 2 mm. The larger the area of ​​the simulator, the more weight it must withstand, the thicker the frame frame should be. And also the set to the trampoline may include additional protective mats, which are laid out and sewn to the spring blocks to protect a person from injury when falling on them. And along with the trampoline itself, various accessories can be sold for its storage, repair or installation.

The average price of a sports unit depends on its size.

• A small indoor model will cost an average of 3,000 to 10,000 rubles.
• Outdoor frame trampolines, on which only children can play, will cost about 10,000-15,000 rubles.
• Massive trampolines for the whole family are much more expensive. The cheapest models can cost the buyer 20,000-40,000 rubles.

There are many different ratings on the web based on customer reviews who have already made such a purchase.Such lists include many manufacturers from different countries.

The following firms remain the most popular of them for a long time:

• Berg;
• Go-Fit;
• Athletic24;
• Euro;
• FunFit;
• Hudora and others.

In order to assemble and install a trampoline, you need to study the instructions that should be attached to the product. Models from different manufacturers may differ significantly in fasteners and parts, therefore there is no single scheme for assembling the simulator. However, there are a few tricks that can be applied to any frame trampoline.

• You do not need to try to hook all the springs in a row, otherwise it will be almost impossible to pull the other half of the canvas. The primary hitch should be done only with every third spring.
• Usually, you can hook the spring without additional tools by pulling it on yourself by hand. If your own efforts are not enough, you can purchase a special spring wrench.
• After the primary hitch is completed, you can proceed with the secondary penetration, securing the remaining springs.
• The trampoline is disassembled in the reverse order. First, 2/3 of the springs are removed, after which a second uncoupling is carried out, and the blade is completely removed.

A protective mesh made of quality material can last for many years without damage. But sometimes it happens that during operation or storage, its integrity is damaged. In this case, user opinions fall into two categories. The former argue that it is impossible to repair the damaged mesh with your own hands, and you will have to purchase a new one. Others believe that anyone can do it on their own and repair the product.

In fact, the decision in this case must be made based on the location of the hole. In the event that the protective sheet is damaged in the middle, you can repair it yourself. In this case, the appearance of the product will suffer, but its protective properties will remain almost at the original level.

It is best to be prepared in advance for such a breakdown and purchase an additional protective mesh before it. In this case, you do not have to wait for repairs or a trip to the store. It will be possible to immediately replace the damaged mesh with a new one, and continue joint physical education.
