Trampoline Accessories

Trampoline activities can be a lot of fun for the family and a good form of exercise if accompanied by adequate safety measures and accessories. Several types of trampoline accessories are available on the market, based on size, the kind of okindfety provided, and other uses such as protection from elements.

Enclosures:

A trampoline enclosure, also known as a bounce arena, is today's most popular safety device. It is specifically designed to prevent falling when jumping on a trampoline. Enclosures for trampolines should always be used when the trampoline is placed near objects such as trees, fences, or patios. There are two main types of trampoline enclosures – those constructed with the netting on the inner side of the trampoline padding and those having the net on the outer side.

Trampoline Covers:

Trampoline covers help extend the life of the trampoline and protect the padded edge by keeping leaves, bird droppings, and other debris off the trampoline's surface. There’s a wide variety of covers for trampolines, such as U.V. resistant covers with elasticated edges made from weatherproof rubberized vinyl, those that come with drawstring edges and leg ties, etc. Most trampoline covers also use central eyelets to drain rainwater.

Ladders:

Trampoline ladders assist smaller kids who want to get onto the trampoline. Most products are weather-proof; some ladders are made entirely of plastic, while some may come with metal tube steps. Adult supervision is a must when trampoline ladders are being used.

Trampoline Anchor Kits:

Trampoline Anchor Kits and tie-down kits hold the trampoline securely on the ground during high winds and storms. They are most ideal for areas frequently exposed to these elements. Anchor kits protect the trampoline from damage and being blown away. Most kits are equipped with heavy-duty straps, buckles, and elastic; and come with ties that are screwed onto the ground. The strapping connects to the link and loops over the trampoline's top rail, preventing the frame from detaching from the legs.

Trampoline Tents:

Most trampoline tents are designed for kids and make a great fun accessory for those who love garden sleepovers and camping out overnight. Tents vary in size and shape, depending on the type of trampoline, and are widely available. They may come with zippered or screen doors; most of them are designed to resist moisture, such as dew.

Snag Bags:

These are more recent additions to trampoline accessories. They are large plastic bags attached to the top rail and leg rail unit on one side of the trampoline to keep shoes, glasses, balls, toys, etc., for safety while jumping. Snag bags mostly come with one large center mesh pocket and smaller mesh pockets, straps, and buckles.

Trampoline Bounce Boards:

Another recent addition, bounce boards are intended for training skateboarders, kite surfers, snowboarding, water surfing, and skiing, and those who want to practice "new moves" on their trampolines. They come with adjustable foot straps, hook, and loop closure.
