Trampolines with a net for a summer residence: types and selection criteria

To make it interesting for children to play and play sports, special equipment is needed. Among modern sports equipment for children of all ages, the trampoline is the most attractive. After all, you can jump on it, play, do tricks and just have fun. Put a trampoline in the country and the children will spend the whole day in the fresh air.

To understand the trampolines, you first need to study their configuration. Unlike inflatable trampolines, frame trampolines are a complex structure, consisting of the following main elements.

• Jumping canvas, on which physical exercises are performed. For it, a material is selected that can return to its original position and is characterized by high strength. Since the trampoline must be used outdoors, the canvas must be resistant to weather conditions: humidity, ultraviolet radiation.
• Frame - is a metal structure, as a rule, of pipes, consisting of a frame, supports (legs) and upper pillars. It is thanks to the reliable frame that the trampoline remains stable.
• Spring system - located between the jumping board and the frame. The length and number of springs should be sufficient for a person to be able to perform a fairly high jump and then land softly, without injuries.
• Protective coating (mats) - soft covering of springs. Inside there may be foam rubber or other foam material. In most models, this important part quickly cracks and wears out, so you need to choose a more durable option or replace it in time.
• Net - performs a protective function. It is attached either only to the upper racks so that a person does not fly out of the frame, or it can be floor-length - this is done to prevent animals and large objects from getting under the jumping canvas.

In addition to the main ones, there are also additional components, which sometimes have to be bought on their own.

By location, there are trampolines designed for indoor or outdoor use. They are also subdivided into stationary and portable. Of course, if we are talking about a summer residence, it is better to spend more time in nature. It will be nice if it can be installed at home in bad weather. However, for a child, the ceiling should not be lower than 2.5 meters. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. There are models with lower legs, but the jumps on them will be lower. For adults, the ceiling height should be even higher.

Varieties of trampolines with a protective net.

• Professional - used by athletes for training. On them you can not only jump very high, but also do complex exercises. Naturally, a large area is needed for tricks.
• For home use (amateur) - their possibilities are less, as well as the risk of injury.At cost, they are more affordable, they are completely different in area.

Also, trampolines differ in the set of springs.

• About 30-50 springs - by age, the trampoline is designed for preschoolers (you can just jump on it).
• Up to 70 elements - older children can jump on such a trampoline.
• Up to 100 - they are thrown up a meter - one and a half, and in the jump you can already somersault; suitable for teenagers and adults. The quality of the landing also depends on the number of springs. If you jump from a height onto a trampoline with few springs, the landing will be hard. In principle, if funds allow and there is where to put it, you can buy a trampoline "for growth."
