Competition

Kids usually love competition and parents use this to their advantage when they are trying to make them finish their food or complete a task. This trick can also be used for cleaning the trampoline. It could be the one who finished cleaning their part of the trampoline first will get candy or the one who picks most leaves around the trampoline will choose the movie to be watched later in the evening. The idea is to be very creative about the gifts and make the tasks fun for them!

Water Fights

The trampoline mat is the most important of the trampoline during cleaning. The most effective way is to use a little soap and water, mix them then use a soft brush to clean. A hose pipe will come in handy while rinsing the mat and also cleaning the other parts of the trampoline. Avoid using harsh chemicals while cleaning because this could damage your trampoline.

Once you are done with cleaning, take this opportunity to have a water fight. Involve everyone even the older children, make it a family fun activity. This will leave the children always looking forward to trampoline cleaning days.

Rewards

The world revolves around knowing that there’s a reward for almost everything you do. You go to work because you know that you will receive a salary after every month or every week. This also encourages kids when it comes to tasks, promise something at the end of the cleaning activity. It could be extra jumping time on the trampoline, more candy. More TV time etc

This also requires a lot of creativity from the parents and knowing what your kids enjoy most so that the gift that you promise makes them work easy and fast.

Music

Music makes everything more fun and enjoyable; it also makes it look that time has gone faster. It creates an environment where cleaning is fun and not just hard work.

Create a playlist that you know your children will enjoy and see the magic!

Ownership

Constantly reminding your children that it’s their trampoline and that they should take responsibility for it is very important. Therefore, create a roster for them for cleaning it and days for picking toys and leaves around it.

This is also a way of teaching them responsibility and work ethic where they don’t have to be constantly micromanaged.

It is important to always keep your trampoline clean and not directly under the sun because the rays can damage the mat and reduce the longevity of the trampoline.

Trampoline Frame

The trampoline frame is the heart and foundation of a trampoline. It supports all the other parts of the trampoline and is very essential for the safety of the trampoline. It is very important to ensure that the material used for the frame is galvanized steel because it has a higher rust resistance and is also very durable.

The frame of the trampoline is the part that is most likely to last the longest but if one part of the frame is bent it’s important to ensure that it is repaired immediately because if the whole frame spoilt you may have to buy a new frame and it is quite difficult to find.

Springs

Springs are reponsibe for the bounce of the trampoline. Without springs, the trampoline would not be fun. Trampoline springs usually vary in sizes and it’s therefore very important to know the size of the springs your trampoline uses before purchase.

Springs usually stretch after frequent use for a long time and can also experience rust if exposed to bad weather. Worn out springs affect the bounce quality of the trampoline and can also lead to damaging of the mat because it may be pulled on one side while bouncing. You are therefore advised to check your springs regularly.

Jumping Mat

The jusmping mat is the most used part of the trampoline. It is made of very strong fabric that can accommodate the weight of up to 5 or more chidren jumping on the trampoline at the same time.

To protect the cover, you are advised to either buy a trampoline cover or place your trampoline under a shade to protect it from damaging UV rays and harsh weather conditions. If you notice any thin hole spots on your trampoline, know that it is time to get your jumping mat replaced. They come in various sizes, mostly 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 14ft and 16ft.

Safety Net

Also known as the enclosure, the safety net is very important for preventing injury during trampolining. It is used to prevent one from falling off the trampoline while bouncing and this is usually the main cause of injury while using a trampoline.

Harsh weather conditions can also cause wear and tear for the safety net but getting a new one for replacement is rather easy. Do not allow children to bounce on the trampoline if the net has not been installed.

Spring Cover Pad

Trampoline cover pads cover the springs and the frame of the trampoline. They also provide safety while trampolining, in case one falls on the springs or the frame it helps them not get hurt. The cover pads are therefore so soft and colorful because they improve the aesthetics of the trampoline.

Foam pole paddings

These paddings are usually placed around the enclosure poles and provide protection in case one hits the poles while trampolining. It is placed together with the trampoline pole sleeves.

Trampoline Ladder

The ladder is used for accessibility of trampoline especially for toddlers and children. It can be easily removed and kept somewhere safe if not in use to protect it from wear and tear.

It is important to ensure that the ladder can’t break while someone is using to avoid injury.

Trampolines provide a great deal of fun but can also be very dangerous if the parts are not replaced while worn out. Consider the importance of trampoline parts in your trampoline maintenance.You can get all the above parts and accessories and also get your rampoline repaired by contacting 0722724893.

Trampolines create the euphoric feeling of temporarily flying especially for kids, imagine having a trampoline in your backyard and giving your children this experience as often as they like! If you would like to purchase a trampoline, you have probably fallen into the rectangular vs round trampoline dilemma.

The main differences between a round and rectangular trampoline are in the frame strength, use, safety, and bounce. Now let’s take a look at the differences in depth.

Frame strength

When considering buying a trampoline, the shape shouldn’t be the most important thing to consider but the frame of the trampoline. The type of steel that is used for the trampoline is the thing that forms the quality and durability of the trampoline.

The best material in regards to trampolines is the galvanized steel frame, this material is more resistant to rust thus making the trampoline more durable.

Whether your trampoline is round or rectangular, as long as the material used for the frames is a galvanized steel frame, then both trampolines are good.

Rectangular vs round trampoline: Usage

Is your trampoline entirely for recreation or for athletic purposes? If you want it for your backyard just for the family to have fun, then a round trampoline is the best but if you are a gymnast and want it for practice and horning your skill, then a rectangular trampoline is the better option.

Safety

You probably want to consider safety when deciding on a rectangular vs round trampoline.The safety of a trampoline does not only depend on the type of trampoline, but the user also plays a huge role in ensuring safety of the trampoline.

The safety net is also very important while using a trampoline, ensure that you have installed the safety net before you or your children start to use the trampoline.

On the edges of the round trampoline, the height of the jump is reduced, thus pulling people more to the center of the trampoline to have better bounce. This then makes the round trampoline safer while bouncing on the trampoline.

Rectangular trampolines are designed for more mature and experienced people who are aware of the risks and safety precautions that come with using a rectangular trampoline.

Bounce Factor

The bounce of a trampoline is mostly dependent on the size of the trampoline but also the shape of the trampoline plays a big role on the same.

When you are looking for a trampoline that offers superior bounce, then a rectangular one should the trampoline that you should be looking for. This is because springs on a rectangular trampoline are not activated at the same time while bouncing compared to a round trampoline where all the springs tend to work together during bouncing.

Round trampolines usually have a better bounce at the center of the trampoline as stated earlier this is because it pulls people to the center of the trampoiline.

The rectangular vs round trampoline dilemma should not give you a hard time. If you want a trampoline for your backyard that will be mostly for recreation, then a round trampoline is best fits the description. On the contrary, rectangeular trampolines are best suited for proffessional athletic activities.

Step 1: Preparation and area setup.

Trampolines are best installed on a level ground and one that has no rocks or anything that can destroy the trampoline especially while bouncing. I’m sure by this time you have already decided the size of the trampoline you are getting depending on the amount of space you have on your compound.

Step 2: Remove and lay all the trampoline parts on the ground.

The trampoline is usually delivered in one box that has the following parts:

Galvanized steel frame

Trampoline legs

T-section joints

Enclosure poles (Pole sponge and pole sleeves)

Safety net

Ladder

Spring cover pad (Enclosure strings)

Jumping mat

Pole caps or connectors (14 ft trampolines use pole caps while 10 ft trampolines have connectors)

Spring tool

Spanner

Screws

Alanki

Step 3: Setup the Trampoline frame step by step.

Place the trampoline steel frame and the T joints, they should form a circular shape. Ensure you have the same number of steel frames and T joints. The purpose of the T joints is to provide a connection to the trampoline legs. The next part is joining the steel frames together to form a circular shape. Once the perfect circle is formed, the trampoline is starting to take shape and you can now start seeing where the jumping mat and the legs will go.

The next step is adding the legs, as stated earlier, the T joints act as connectors for the legs. Start by adding one dual leg using the screw and a screwdriver then move to the next leg once done. Kindly ask for assistance when adding the legs.

Ensure the legs are screwed tightly to avoid accidents.

Step 4: Add the trampoline mats and springs

The trampoline mat and springs are the most important parts of the trampoline so be certain of the following things before you start setting up:

The trampoline jumping mat has no tears or holes.
The springs are unused, they should brand new.
You have the spring tool.

If the following things are in check, you can start attaching the trampoline mat and springs.

Using a spring tool, attach one spring to one side of the trampoline, skip 4 unhooked spring points then attach the next spring. Follow this process until you get to the point that you began from. After that, attach the rest of the springs. This makes it easier to attach springs to all sides of the trampoline without using so much strength on one side of the trampoline. It also makes the trampoline mat balanced and the mat will not be damaged on one side.

Add the spring cover pad by tying the strings to the frame securely. This provides safety for the children while playing.

Step 5: Build the trampoline enclosure

The trampoline support fixtures can be added before or after the trampoline padding. It’s up to you. We will add them at this point. Most modern trampolines have the enclosure support brackets fixed to the trampoline legs which provide extra support and stability.

Attach the first support pole to the trampoline fixture. Line it up correctly and secure the screw into the hole. Make sure it’s tight and feels secure. After securing the bottom of the enclosure poles to the trampoline legs, next, we build up the trampoline enclosure poles to full height. They should slot together and secure quite easily.

Step 6: Add the safety net to the trampoline.

The purpose of a safety net is to ensure that the child doesn’t bounce off the trampoline while playing.

Here there are the steel rods and the connectors. At the top of the safety net, there are some spaces where the steel rods and the connectors are to be inserted. Insert the steel rod on one side of the net and it should come out on the other side where you should insert one of the connectors. The purpose of the connectors is to attach all the rods together, connect the net to the trampoline poles and, in the end, form a perfect circular shape.

Finish this process by securing the net with hooks that easily hook to the springs. Ensure you hook all of them to provide safety.

Step 6: Attach the trampoline ladder

The trampoline ladder provides easy access to the trampoline for the children.

This could be the easiest part of the trampoline assembly process, all you need to do while attaching the ladder is to place the ladder adjacent to the trampoline zip the turn the handles to securely hook to the net.

Trampolines are gaining popularity in Kenya. More and more parents prefer to get a trampoline as a gift for their children given the health benefits associated with trampolining in East Africa. But the maintenance of these trampolines has become a significant requirement. Do you know how to disassemble a trampoline in Kenya?

In the case of harsh weather conditions, it is important to learn how to disassemble a trampoline so as to increase its life span in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. It is also important to learn how to disassemble and reinstall in case you need to move it to different locations.

Below we provide a step procedure on how to easily disassemble your trampoline:

Step 1: Preparation and tools

Before you start the process of disassembling your trampoline, ensure that you have first cleaned it and you have the boxes for storage.

You also need to crosscheck that you have all the tools needed for the disassembly.

The main tool needed for disassembly is a trampoline spring puller. This makes it easy to pull springs from the trampoline. You can also use caulking guns, pliers and screw drivers as alternatives.

The other tool is a screw driver and it’s alternative a power drill.

Step 2: Removing the trampoline accessories (Ladder, Safety net etc)

First, you start by taking out the ladder then go to detaching the net.

If your trampoline has pole caps, go ahead and remove the caps first then detach all the poles from the safety net. At this stage, you can untie the basketball hoop if you have one.

Don’t forget to clean if there is any rust or debris before storing.

Step 3: Take apart the safety cover.

This can be done before the net disassembly.

Untie all the knots beneath the trampoline cover pad then fold it and put in a box.

PS: A key could help untie stubborn knots.

Step 4: Disassembling the springs

This could be the most tedious part of the process however well kept springs and this technique we are about to give you can make it easier. In the case of rusted springs, get some hand gloves for safety.

Now, take your spring tool and choose any spring that you want to remove first. Then pull the spring hook at the mat end towards the trampoline center.

The spring will be extended, so loosen it from the V-ring of the mat. At the same time, take apart the other spring hook from the frame.

Repeat the same process for the rest of the springs. If the spring puller doesn’t work for you, you can use the alternatives as stated earlier.

Step 5: Folding the trampoline mat.

After spring removal, the trampoline is just a frame. Place the jumping mat on the ground, fold it in half then the half in half again until it can fit in a box.

Step 6: Dismantling the frame

The job here is mainly unscrewing.

After unscrewing is complete, detach the legs from the main frame. Be careful not to hurt yourself during this process as the frames are rather heavy. To avoid injury, you can stand in the middle of the leg and exert upward pressure on the outer ring to detach the legs.

When all the legs are detached, the outer ring left to be disassembled. Now, dismantle the outer ring from the T-joints. You can do it by twisting the rings. Finally, you are capable of detaching the outer rings and T-joints. After that, store the outer rings, legs, and T-sections in the trampoline storage box.
