What's The Best Way To Care For Your Trampoline ?
 
Your trampoline can be an expensive item, so it's important
to properly care for it. Here's some useful tips :

* Don't Let Kids sit/stand or play with the frame pads. The
pad is a preventive in case the kids land too close to the
frame.
* Don't use chemicals to clean your frame pads.
* Don't tie your pads too tight. In case of strong winds,
it can pull up the pads and therefore pull out the straps
if tied too tightly.
* If you have an enclosure, lift up the skirt where the
poles are or cut out of the skirt area at the pole. If the
pole lies against the skirt, there will be too much strain
on the pads and can cause the skirt seams to rip.
* Keep all animals away from the trampoline. There's
something about dogs and pads and are very appealing to
dogs!

How can trampolining be safer?

If your child already uses a trampoline, you should follow
these safety measures.

Location of the trampoline and safety features:

Clear the area around the trampoline of objects and do not
set the trampoline near trees, fences, poles, or other
playground equipment.

Set the trampoline where an energy-absorbing surface (for
example, tall grass) surrounds it. Buy and use a frame pad
that covers the entire area of the spring system. If
possible, lower the height to ground level by putting


the
trampoline in a pit.

Before using the trampoline:
Set rules for trampoline use and discuss them often with
your children. Tell your children about the risks of not
using the tramp properly. Have your children remove any
necklaces.

Using the trampoline:

Have someone properly train your child how to do flips and
other complex stunts. Never allow more than one person to
use the trampoline at the same time. Do not allow bouncing
followed by jumping off of the trampoline. Have an adequate
number of spotters around the edges of the trampoline.

Follow these tips and you're trampoline will be great
fun... and safe.
