Safest Trampolines on the Market - Choosing One for Your Garden

A trampoline will turn your backyard into a central focal point for your entire family. All fun aside, though, safety must come first. With so many options, though, how do you know which trampoline will safely accommodate your family members as they bounce about? All that truly matters is knowing exactly how a trampoline must properly function safely, and work with professionals like Fenceworks, who are more concerned with quality than anything else.

What Makes a Safe Trampoline?

Not every trampoline is identical. Most safe models include a few key features that, as a whole, work to reduce risk while increase fun.

Netting trampoline with a safety net

A good safety net is not an option. Seek trampolines with enclosing nets that will protect your children from falls. This feature closes off areas where feet or limbs might slip. Net materials must be heavy-duty, UV-stable, and fine enough to prevent tiny fingers from being pinched.

Frame and Spring Design

The frame forms the basis of it all. Heavy-duty galvanized steel frames stand up to rust and wear for several years. Spring placement comes in as another crucial issue. Springs that are placed outside the net enclosure keep jumpers clear of pinch points at all times. Some high-end models employ springless designs which swap out coils with flexible composite rods, further mitigating injury hazards.

Pad Quality

Thick, waterproof padding must envelop springs, hooks, and edges of frames. It must be thick enough to fully encapsulate areas of hazard and fasten securely so it will not move about as it is being used. Shoddy padding deteriorates rapidly with exposure to sunshine and loses its protective capabilities after a few months.

Weight Restrictions and Stability

Every trampoline has a maximum weight capacity. Exceeding this limit compromises structural integrity and increases the likelihood of accidents. Ground anchors or stabilizing stakes prevent tipping during windy conditions or enthusiastic jumping sessions.
