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!

A Dad’s Perspective on…..choosing the best trampoline PART 1

performance safety quality

PART 1:

A Dad’s Perspective on…

Choosing the best trampoline in the UAE

Quality. Performance. Safety. Ease.

I’ve been thinking a lot about these four words lately. My children have asked for years and years (literally) to get a trampoline. And for years and years I said NO (we were all quite persistent!). Whilst I loved the concept of them getting outside and having fun whilst moving their little bodies, I kept thinking, “too rusty, too dangerous, too hard to put up and take down”….my list of “too difficult” went on. I dismissed the idea when the reality was that what I had to do was research and find the best trampoline in the UAE.

But then daddy guilt hit me.

The children were begging me to get them a piece of equipment that would make them even more healthy and get them outside in the fresh air, doing exercise! These were things I had been telling them to do This wasn’t a video game or YouTube or Netflix they were asking for, or that I was having to drag them away from. So, the penny finally dropped and I had a quiet word with myself.  This should at least be looked at  seriously before I could make a proper decision. The pros and cons of a trampoline had to be weighed up.   I needed to consider what would make the best trampoline in the UAE and think about what I wanted my children to be doing with their free time.

I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. My research began with the simple question: “What would make the perfect trampoline?” And because I love a bit of detail, I extended the question to “what would make the best trampoline in the UAE?” because, well, that’s where we live.

I made a list of what I was looking for in this piece of garden equipment, and here’s what I came up with:

  • The best trampoline in the UAE:

    I was looking for a trampoline that was the most suited to the conditions of Dubai. The harsh summers can be disastrous for anything you leave out in you garden. I wanted something you could either leave out all year. Or, alternatively, something that would be easy to take down and put back up again when the time came.

  • The best quality trampoline that would last and I could afford:

    The build and quality of the trampoline was important. I did not want to buy something that would need to be replaced in a year’s time.  Not only would that end up costing a lot of money,  but it would also be very wasteful and unsustainable. I don’t like to single use items and I wasn’t about to buy a trampoline that would end up in landfill in a short amount of time. I wanted  trampoline that would last.

  • The absolute safest trampoline:

    Safety is hugely important. The trampoline had to be as safe for my children as possible.  Many injuries happen on a trampoline because the jumper hits the hard part of the trampoline,  gets trapped in the exposed springs or falls off the trampoline.  I wanted to minimise the risk as much as possible. This was the same as buying a good quality car seat for safe travel in a vehicle. This had to be the best trampoline in the UAE to keep my children safe whilst doing something that could potentially be hazardous. Investing in the correct piece of equipment was critical.

  • A trampoline with great bounce performance:

    As children grow they become more capable.  I did not want to invest in something that my children would outgrow before they had finished using it.  Considering the investment I wanted this  trampoline to be to fulfil their jumping needs for now and the foreseeable future.

I now had my list of what were the most important elements for choosing the best trampoline for my family. In fact, if I could find a trampoline that met this criteria, I’m sure I would end up with the best trampoline in the UAE!  The perfect present for my family. 

You can read more about my perspective in the next blog but, in the meantime, if you want to read what other dads think you could try with Hari, an avid trampoline user with a family of jumpers

GTRAMP, a sport born on Instagram, but what exactly is it?

GTramp is a relatively new sport that has exploded in popularity in the past few years.  GTramp stands for “Garden Trampoline,” but this isn’t your usual run-of-the-mill trampoline jumping, this sport involves epic, jaw-dropping acrobatics and gravity-defying moves. It’s fun to watch and even more fun to do.

The sport has gone from strength to strength, the popularity having been fuelled by social media, where the hashtag #gtramp now has more than 219k posts on Instagram and participants freely share their moves, whilst supporting and encouraging each other.   The movement started to gain traction in 2016 and is currently being led by tween and teenage boys around the world — but with more and more girls starting to join in.

The athletes are called GTrampers or Flippers and what they do is not to be confused with the Olympic sport of trampolining.   GTramp is freestyle, where acrobatics and daring trump pointed toes and perfect landings.  Slightly rebellious in nature, it’s a combination of the daring of parkour, the energy of freestyle snowboarding and the street cool of skateboarding.  As with any sport there is a lingo that accompanies it and the flippers show off their kabooms, with their codies and their ball-outs.

Whilst uniqueness and playing to your own strengths, seems one of the keys to GTramping success, the trampolinists have established a kind of hierarchy for the hardest way to do a trick – a double bounce, when one flipper utilizes the force of his or her bounce to send another flipper higher, is the easiest, with a tower bounce, the one bounce and standing following in order of difficulty. Quintuple (5) flips, which not long ago were rarer than hen’s teeth in the world of garden trampolining, are now becoming more commonplace in recent years, as the athletes push the limits within the sport.

Whilst GTramp is a sport mostly practised individually or with friends in back gardens, there are opportunities for the athletes to take part in organised events.   As the sport matures, the more organised the events are becoming, though on the whole the atmosphere is still one of a supportive community and less about traditional competition-based sporting concepts. The GTGames, run by the Freestyle Trampoline Association, take place every year in America, New Zealand and Europe and provides a perfect opportunity for likeminded flippers to get together and see who can perform the best moves and compete to be the best GTramp athlete.

North Trampolines, are the perfect piece of equipment to practise your GTramp moves on, whether you are a beginner or seasoned professional.  With their Swedish made springs and exceptional safety features, these trampolines offer you a world-class bounce experience that can take your jumping to the next level.
