HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR TRAMPOLINE |
|
We aim to make it easier for you to select a Trampoline at Bouncy Happy People. As experts, we have selected the very best round family trampolines to suit a number of budgets, based on rigorous family testing over the last 4 years. We also offer a range of performance rectangular trampolines.
We know that a trampoline is a considerable investment, and as it will be with you for a long time, and will be much used, it’s very important to make the right choice. Here are some points to consider:
SHAPE
Most trampolines we sell now are round trampoline packages with safety nets. These are popular for family use as they have a larger jumpbed area, which offers a softer, slower bounce experience, and they are designed to keep the bouncer in the middle. The bounciest round trampolines have longer 8'' springs. The new innovative OVAL POD has become a big seller as it offers a large bounce surface, different bounce zones and looks good. Clearly price does not matter the rectangular SUPERTRAMP trampolines ie the Kangaroo offer maximum bounce but are more suitable for older children- these can be dug in to maximise safely.
SIZE
The most popular size that we sell is the 14ft or 4.3m size trampoline, closely followed by the 12ft and 10ft sizes. The OVAL is 10x15' which suits longer thinner gardens. We recommend buying as large as possible for maximum fun, larger safer play space, and higher weight limits. Who will be using it? Initially you may be buying for your children now, but they will grow and adults will want to have a go too! We always recommend purchasing a trampoline that will continue to offer your family benefits for years to come.
FRAME
Quality trampolines are constructed from full galvanised steel at least 1.9mm thick. The frame provides your trampoline with its strength and rigidity and it is essential that you choose one that can withstand the weight loads it is likely to be carrying.
SPRINGS
10ft models upwards come with 7 or 8.5 inch springs. The better trampolines have 8.5 inch springs which give a superior, deeper, 'boingier' bounce.
PADS
The more more expensive models offer longer lasting, 30mm thick pads to provide maximum protection. These also have replaceable toggles hidden from view.
JUMPBED
A good jumpbed features multiple rows of stitching at the edges to provide the strength required, and is made of UV stable, heavy duty, Polypropylene mesh. It should also have heavy gauge D-rings that connect the springs to the frame.
GUARANTEE
These vary from one brand to another. You get a warranty of up to 10 years for the frame and up to 5 years for the springs, pads and jumpbed. Bouncy Happy People will act on your behalf in the event of any warranty issues to ensure they are resolved promptly.
SAFETY ENCLOSURE
The warranty on these is generally one year only. The more expensive ones tend to be more robust, more attractive and easier to assemble, and also easier to replace parts. Many people dig their trampoline into the garden to save the cost of the net and the look of the garden. We can provide information to help you do this, should you need it. We think all our trampolines are beautiful anyway!
