When purchasing the right trampoline , there are many things to consider; such as size, quality, rectangle, round?
When considering the trampoline size, make sure the yard is large enough to fit the size of trampoline. Next, consider the size and weight of the user. A trampoline is a big investment, so consider the users’ growth in the next 3-5 years. A 16’ trampoline will have 40% more jumping space than a 14’ trampoline.
Quality: The thicker the frame, the better the quality of the trampoline . The frame is the most expensive component of the trampoline. Thicker frames will prevent or reduce the chance of the trampoline warping. The thicker the frame, the greater the weight capacity. A quality round frame should be at least 2.0 mm thick. A quality rectangular frame should be at least 3.0 mm thick.
Rectangular trampolines are more expensive, than round trampolines. Round trampolines are more recreational. They have a center gravitational pull, because the way the springs pull and stretch at the same time. Thus, pulling the jumper towards the middle. Rectangular trampolines pull and stretch at different rates, which allows the jumper to jump at different parts of the mat, while still having the same bounce effect. Rectangular trampolines are more common for athletes who want to train to build endurance, stamina and coordination. Cheerleaders, wakeboards, snowboarders, gymnasts, basketball and football players and athletes who do a lot of jumping think trampoline routines are great to the training regimen.
