Everyone knows that trampolines can be fun but there is more to a trampoline then just fun. It is a form of exercise, fun, entertainment, and competition. So how do you know what to look for when purchasing a trampoline?

At trampoline USA they made it easy by giving advice to help you make this decision. Trampoline USA is also your source for trampoline parts and trampoline accessories.Here are some helpful tips when purchasing a trampoline.

The frame of a trampoline is important because it hold up the trampoline. It must support the weight as well as the activity on the trampoline. The frame should be made from the best quality. It is recommended that you purchase a trampoline that is made from a heavy gauge steel. Always remember that the lower the number the thicker you will find the steel. While 14 gauge is the most common you can find 12 and 16 gauge are also important.

The bed is also important. Without a good strong pad your trampoline will not be usable. The most recommended by Trampoline USA is the 710# bursting strength that is per square inch. You also need to verify that the thread is UV treated so it will last out in the sun for an extended period of time. V-rings are also preferred because it doesn’t get in the way of any jumping.

Next is the spring. You want to make sure that the spring is the right length. The spring is what gives you the bounce so the more springy the better.

The trampoline pad should always be wide enough so you don’t expose the springs on your trampoline.
