Trampoline safety net and enclosure

Trampoline safety net and enclosure

Trampolines are a great way to have fun, burn some extra calories and have some quality family time. However,  to avoid injury it is important to consider the safety features of any trampoline you purchase. One key aspect of a safer trampoline is the trampoline safety net and enclosure.

Here we look at why a good quality trampoline safety net and enclosure provides a safer jumping experience and added peace of mind for you and your family.

What is a trampoline safety net and enclosure?

A trampoline enclosure is a safety net that surrounds the trampoline and is designed to reduce possible fall-related injuries.  Metal poles, covered in a protective foam sleeve keep the net up.  The enclosure net goes around the trampoline and extends beyond the height of the person bouncing.

A superior trampoline safety net and enclosure

Some safety enclosures offer better protection than others. The best-quality trampoline enclosures offer the following features:

  • Made from quality material:
    The net should be made from a high-quality, durable mesh that can withstand a large amount of applied force. The material should be soft enough so that it does not burn or scrape the user upon impact
  • Be durable:
    The material should be UV resistant to stop deterioration.
  • Foam-protected supports:
    The net attaches to the trampoline using upright steel supports. To provide a stable and safe net framework the steel supports should be foam-padded and anchored at the base of the trampoline.

  • Isolated from the springs:

    Perhaps the most important feature is for the net to attach to the inside of the springs. This isolates the trampoline user from the dangers of landing outside the jumping mat limit. A North Trampoline safety net features a patented, zero-gap zipped enclosure to avoid any spring contact.

  • Be adequately high:

    The net should be high enough that even the biggest of leaps are safe to do

  • Cannot remain open:

    The best net enclosures feature a self-closing mechanism that does not allow the user to leave it open and hence avoid any opportunity to fall out of the trampoline.

  • Cannot become detached:

    The safety net must securely attach to the trampoline.  The North Trampoline safety net features a patented fixation system that keeps the net in constant high tension, to significantly increase the safety of the bouncer

Trampoline enclosure: a necessary safety feature

Before you buy a trampoline, it is important to make sure it comes with an enclosure net. Whist nowadays a safety net is a common feature on a trampoline, sometimes they do not come as a standard inclusion and must be purchased separately.

A trampoline safety net is a must-have trampoline accessory it will prevent the user from falling off the trampoline and will help protect against injury.

Prevents falling off

One of the most important benefits of having a safety net on a trampoline is that they help from the bouncer falling off the trampoline. A trampoline safety net is there to catch the jumper and either move them back into the trampoline or provide them with a safe platform to fall upon. A North Trampoline safety net features a safety belt that directs the jumper back to the jump mat.

Protect against injury

A good quality safety net will prevent the jumper falling into  the trampoline springs. It will also significantly reduce the chance of hitting frame poles.  The soft, synthetic material  used to make the trampoline safety nets helps to avoid burns and bruises because it enables the jumper to slide against it.

Stop fall outs

Some trampoline enclosures use Velcro or a sewn-on zip to seal their enclosure doors. Unfortunately these can remain open when a jumpers go in and out of the trampoline. Additionally, they are at risk of not maintaining their integrity if the user lands on top of them.  The best enclosure doors, like those on a North Trampoline, are those with a self-closing mechanism. A flexible and reinforced overlap in the net allows easy entry and exit whilst also remaining closed behind the bouncer.

Tips to stay safe on your trampoline

It is important to keep in mind that trampoline safety nets cannot replace adult supervision or safe trampoline practice.

Always jump in the middle of the trampoline. Avoid bouncing with other people on the trampoline at the same time. Do not place anything below the trampoline when you are jumping.

Your trampoline enclosure net should not be purposely used as a rebounding surface, either from the inside or outside.

It is important to periodically check the netting to ensure there is no damage or holes in the net.

Trampolines for Teenagers and Adults – find the perfect trampoline

trampoline for teenagers and adults and older children

Should we let you into a little secret? Bouncing on a trampoline isn’t just for little kids! Trampolines are for teenagers and adults too!

Trampolines are an excellent, fun and healthy activity for all ages. However, choosing the right trampoline for you depends on a number of factors. Consider who will be using it, what it will be used for and where it will be situated.  We explored all of these details in our previous blog post “Buying a trampoline in the UAE: what should I look for?”

Looking specifically for trampolines for teenagers and adults? Then read this handy guide to help you make the right choice and find the perfect trampoline.

Trampolines for Teenagers

When it comes to choosing trampolines for teenagers and adults, it really does boil down to identifying what they want to do on the trampoline. If they are happy to just enjoy bouncing with friends and family, then both a 3.6m (12ft) round or a 3.5m x 2.45m (12ft x 8ft) oval trampoline are superb options.

If the trampoline is for a teen who wants to do more advanced jumps or tricks, then they will need more space. The mat size is also something to think about if they are interested in trampoline accessories, such as a basketball hoop.

Another consideration when choosing trampolines for teenagers, is the quality of the frame and the recommended weight limit of the jumping mat. Look for a trampoline with exacting test standards and built using high quality materials.  The frame should be heavy duty for extra stability as this allows  for a more powerful bounce.  All of the North Trampolines we stock at Jump Fitness Dubai have an extra sturdy frame and been stress tested to a whopping 750kg (1650llbs) and have a recommended user weight of110kg (243llbs). The high recommended user weight means you can bounce safely in the knowledge that the trampoline will easily accommodate your growing child and teen.

We consider our larger 4.2m (14ft) oval and round trampolines to be great options for teens as they provide more space for jumps, leaps and flips. For a bit of extra room for tricks or for more advanced jumps, opt for our most popular 5m (16ft) oval or  4.7m (15ft) rectangular models.

Trampolines for tricks

All of the trampolines we stock provide sufficient bounce for vaulting and practising tricks.  However, rectangular and oval models are great trampolines for teenagers and adults. This is because these models provide even more bounce compared to the round trampolines.  The elongated surface of an oval trampoline make it a good choice for tricks and acrobatics.  A rectangular trampoline is the gold standard for tricks. Rectangular trampolines  have more springs and offer a good even bounce wherever you are on the trampoline. This makes rectangular trampolines perfect for flips and tumbling.

The two best-selling trampolines, which are loved by the tricking community worldwide, are the 4.7m (15ft) North Explorer rectangle and the 4.7m (15ft) North Performer rectangle trampolines.  The extra boost provided by the North Performer will take your tricks to the next level.

Trampolines for adults and family

By default, all of our trampolines are designed for adults and family fun. The safety features are second to none. Safety features are equally important for both adults and children. Look for a trampoline packed with as many safety features as possible.

Springs are an important consideration when choosing a trampoline for an adult.  A better quality spring means a better quality bounce. The high-quality springs on a North Trampoline are customisable, which means you can adjust them to get the ultimate bounce for your size, weight and ability. This is especially useful if you have lots of bouncers of different ages and sizes.  The feedback we get from adult jumpers is that they love how responsive the bounce is on a North Trampoline.

In our experience families with multiple children or adults who want to jump themselves, tend to choose the bigger models. More space allows for more flexibility when it comes to usage.  As a child grows, a larger model will also provide the option to progress into more advanced jumping. That combined with the customisable springs makes a North Trampoline a great choice. At Jump Fitness the most popular trampolines in the UAE for adults and families are the 5m (16ft) oval or 4.7m (15ft) rectangular models from North Trampoline.

North Trampolines for teenagers and adults

Trampolines are an excellent fun activity for children of all ages. However, if you are looking for trampolines specifically for teenagers and adults, then the Swedish designed ‘North Trampolines’ are a wise choice.

North Trampolines bring you:

  • A higher than average safety net provides extra safety.
  • ‘Adjustable Springs’ mean you can tailor the ‘bounce’ to suit you your family or skills.
  • Extra Safe Enclosed Springs System. All springs are ‘zipped’ away and cannot be accessed or fallen onto by the jumper at all.
  • Most importantly…a seriously good bounce! Many trampolines that are suited to younger kids will have a softer bounce. All North Trampolines have a really deep and high bounce. Jumpers with higher user-weights will have the time of their lives…..these are perfect trampolines for teenagers and adults!  The spring adjusters means all of the trampolines can be adjusted for younger and lighter jumpers.

If you are looking for the best trampolines for teenagers and adults, then look no further than a North Trampoline! They are the safest, sturdiest trampolines on the market with an incredible bounce!

Round vs Rectangular Trampolines: Which trampoline is best for you?

Rectangular vs round trampoline

Choosing the right shape of trampoline for the family can be a confusing process! So, to give you a helping hand, we have compared two of the most common shapes — round vs rectangular trampolines.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing the best shape of trampoline to suit your family. All trampolines can be a wonderful family activity, provide a fun time with friends and are a brilliant way to keep fit and healthy.

Before you decide which trampoline is right for you, there are several aspects to consider. Such as how you’re planning on using the trampoline, the space you have available in your garden, your budget and, of course, safety.

Round vs Rectangular: The bounce

One of the key factors when comparing trampolines is bounce performance. This is probably going to be the feature kids care the most about – how high can you jump on the trampoline?

Bounce quality will depend in part on size.  A smaller trampoline is going to offer a much smaller bounce. If you have young children, you might want to consider a smaller model that won’t send them jumping too high.

Rectangular trampolines offer a higher bounce than round trampolines.  This is because the springs on a rectangular trampoline operate independently from each other. This means that wherever you are on the mat all of your jumps will rebound equally.   It doesn’t matter where you jump on a rectangular trampoline, you can expect your bounce to have equal height and power.

The opposite is true with a round trampoline. When you jump on a circular trampoline, all of the springs work at the same time. The centre of gravity is in the middle of a round trampoline. On a round trampoline, users must jump in the middle to gain the maximum jump performance. Jumping on the edges of a round trampoline will mean the bounce won’t be as high or powerful. When someone jumps on a round trampoline they will be pulled back towards the middle. This helps to keep the jumper away from the edge and the hard parts of the trampoline.

Round vs. Rectangular: Usage

Why are you buying a trampoline? Is it going to be used purely for fun? Or will your kids be using the trampoline for athletic reasons? These questions are important to ask before you choose a trampoline.

A rectangular trampoline can provide the perfect setting for jumpers who want to learn more tricks and push their skills to a higher level. A rectangular trampoline provides more space to complete tricks. Rectangular trampolines are great for more advanced trampolinists and families who want to explore and develop their abilities.

Round trampolines are a great choice if you plan to use them for recreational purposes. A round trampoline limits how high bounces can go and where they land. The circular shape draws jumpers back to the centre of the trampoline. This is a great, subtle safety feature for younger children and more inexperienced bouncers who simply want to experience the fun of bouncing.

Round vs. Rectangular: Location, size & weather

The space you have available will have a direct bearing on the size and shape of the trampoline you choose.  Knowing where you plan to put your trampoline is an important consideration.  Your space restrictions will play heavily into your final decision on which shape to buy. Finding a convenient space for a round trampoline can be difficult. You need sufficient space for the entire diameter of a round trampoline. This usually means you will need to place the trampoline more in the centre of your garden. A rectangular trampoline will fit more easily into a corner or in a side return of the garden and can be hidden away from view. Before making a round vs rectangular trampolines purchase, it is important to take measurements and carefully choose where you want to put your trampoline.

The weather is also a consideration when choosing the size and shape of your trampoline. If you live somewhere with harsh summers, such as the UAE, you might decide to store your trampoline to keep it out of the summer sun.  The “zero bolt” assembly of the North Trampolines we sell at Jump Fitness Dubai, means that storing your trampoline for summer will be a breeze.  However, once taken down, a rectangular trampoline could be easier to slide into storage compared to a round trampoline.

The final choice

Depending on how and who will be using your trampoline will impact which shape of trampoline you choose to buy. There are advantages and disadvantages to both round vs rectangular trampolines. On the whole, we recommend that if you are buying a trampoline for small children or inexperienced users who just want to have some fun, then choose a round trampoline. If you have older or more experienced jumpers, then the rectangular trampoline is a great choice for training, as well as fun family activities.

Learn how to do a backflip!

How to do a backflip

Learn how to do a backflip!

If you want to take your trampoline jumping fun to the next level you should learn how to do a backflip! Mastering this cool, but difficult move, will not only make you feel great but will also impress your friends!

The right trampoline

You don’t have to be a gymnast, an acrobat, or into parkour, to learn how to do a backflip. However, you must make sure you have the right equipment. A suitably big trampoline with a robust netting or enclosure will help to make sure you do not hurt yourself.  The North Explorer rectangular or oval-shaped trampolines provide the perfect setting to practice your backflip.  Learning to jump safely and with confidence in the right space is very important.

The groundwork

Before you start any kind of flipping you should make sure your basic jumps are high enough. Getting height in your jumps is the basis for performing any type of trick. Good core stability and strength in your legs will help you jump higher.

Learning how to land safely and getting the right landing position on each jump are also critical aspects of your training.  We also suggest that you master some of the simpler tricks, such as a back-drop or a back handspring, before you even consider attempting a backflip.

Learning any new move should, ideally, be done on a trampoline you are familiar with.  Not all trampolines feel the same or have the same bounce. Become familiar with your trampoline and use it for a while before you attempt your first backflip.   This will help you avoid injury.

Learning how to do a backflip needs confidence, patience and lots of practice.

Learn how to do a backflip

If you are ready and have prepared, then let’s begin.

Step 1 – The warm-up

Start by warming up. All exercise should start by properly warming up your muscles.  Warm muscles help prevent injury when doing any form of exercise, including jumping on a trampoline.  You can warm up by doing some simple stretches and simply jumping on your trampoline.

Step 2 – The positioning

Now you are ready to do a backflip.  Position yourself correctly on your trampoline. The correct position depends on the shape of your trampoline. On a rectangular or an oval trampoline, you should be at one end of the trampoline. On a round trampoline, you should be one or two steps away from the center of the trampoline.

Make sure your head is in the correct position to perform the trick. Your head should be in a neutral, forward-facing position. Do not look back diagonally or to the side; precision is key.

Step 3 – Getting the height

Start jumping with some height. Height is critical to get the momentum needed to successfully complete the trick. You need enough height to be able to flip yourself over.

Step 4 – Back-Flipping around

Once you have reached a good, controlled jump height and feel confident to execute the trick you are ready. Put your hands up and double-check your head is in the correct, neutral position.

Throw your arms up and look up to the sky. Make sure you use your arms to gain momentum and propel you up and then around. This motion will help you protect your neck and land without hurting yourself. At the same time as lifting your arms up, use the momentum to lift your hips, shoulders and body behind you in a swinging motion.  Your weight should be in your legs.

Tucking your knees into your chest, whilst keeping them apart, might be an easier option than flipping with straight legs.  You can progress onto straight legs when you are ready.

Step 5 – The backflip landing

Initially, you can land your backflip on your hands and knees. You can then progress this to land on your hands and feet. Eventually, you will be able to land just on your feet.

Make sure that you give yourself enough time to get comfortable with each part of the process.

Important Safety Tips

It is important that you always practice trampolining safely. This is especially important when you learn how to do a backflip.

  • Always have someone with you who knows how to do a backflip and guide you. Never practice tricks, particularly a backflip alone.
  • Know your limits. Don’t be too bold and overestimate your abilities when learning a new trick.
  • Learn to fall correctly to help prevent injury
  • Only practice on a suitable trampoline with excellent safety features.  The trampoline springs should be covered and inaccessible to the jumper. The trampoline should have an intact, closed netting around it to prevent falls. Adequate padding should be wrapped around any hard parts of the trampoline to prevent injury.

At Jump Fitness Dubai, we supply trampolines of all shapes and sizes in the UAE and Dubai. Our trampolines are from the brand North Trampolines. All of the trampolines have, have exceptional safety features. The innovative jumping mat provides an epic bounce with 40% more airtime than other garden trampolines.

Why are rectangular trampolines more expensive?    

Rectangle trampoline

Why are rectangular trampolines more expensive?

Ever wondered why rectangle trampolines tend to be priced slightly higher than the equivalent round trampoline?  Here we take a quick look at the price difference and if a rectangular trampoline is the best choice for you.

A popular trampoline choice

Rectangular trampolines are a popular choice. Often called ‘the king of trampolines’ by enthusiasts they give an even and superior bounce.  The spring placement in a rectangular tramp also gives better control over your jump height and landing.

Rectangular trampolines are designed for athletes or large families. Rectangle trampolines give an even bounce throughout the jumping mat. This gives excellent control and space to ‘travel’ across the entire jump area. Whereas round models encourage ‘on-the-spot’ bouncing.  Rectangular trampolines allow you to bounce higher than a round model. The long, rectangular shape gives you more area to do tricks. The springs on a rectangular trampoline work to give optimum height and landing control.

More rectangular trampolines are sold in North America than any other type.

The extra cost

There are several reasons rectangle trampolines are often priced slightly higher than the equivalent round versions.

When comparing the prices and shapes of different trampolines it is important to consider Classic round trampoline frames are inherently strong by design. A round-shaped trampoline distributes the stress evenly over the frame, rather than concentrating at any one point.

A rectangle frame has more joins and corners to factor in. A well-engineered rectangle trampoline often needs a combination of stronger springs and more metal to support corners and joints and to strengthen the long edges.

The edges of rectangle trampolines are much longer than the same pieces of the equivalent round trampoline.  This means storage space is required, more packaging, and more expensive shipping fees.

Are rectangular trampolines worth it?

Despite the extra cost, in our opinion, a rectangle trampoline is an excellent choice and worth the investment. Consider buying a rectangular trampoline if you have more than one child or if you have an adventurous kid who wants to build stamina and coordination beyond the limitations of a round trampoline.  Rectangle trampolines are perfect for a child who wants to master their flips and tricks.

If you are a gymnast, diver, partake in snow sport, are a G-Tramp aerialist, or parkour athlete then a rectangular trampoline is a good choice for you. North Trampolines offer two of the best rectangular trampolines on the market, the Explorer and the Performer.
