The pads that surround the edges of a trampoline are an important safety feature, they protect the jumper from hurting themselves and they also provide a visual marker that is easy to see when the jumper is performing their tricks and stunts at high speed, in the air. They offer the boundary and provide the jumper with a bit of grounding and awareness as to how close to the edge of the trampoline they may be at any given time. When the pads are worn out, they must be replaced in order to ensure this continued safety.
New pads are readily available, but one must make certain that they are measuring for those pads correctly, for pads that do not fit the trampoline’s measurements specifically, may end up doing more harm than good. The measurement process is easy, the only tool that is necessary is a measuring tape. For the circular trampolines you start by measuring the diameter, from one edge across to the other, and you write down that measurement. Then you take a perpendicular measurement, so that you have formed and “X” with the measuring tape. You add those two numbers together and divide by two, this will give you the total diameter of the the trampoline. For square or retangular trampolines, it is like simple geometry. You measure the width and the length of the trampoline, that’s it.
For the odd shaped hexagons or octagon shaped trampolines, you start at one of the points, and measure to the point that is directly across from it. This is the only measurement you will need for one of these shaped trampolines, however when ordering the pads make sure that you have taken note of the number of points, so that the replacement pads will have the correct number of sides. Trampolines, the frames and the pads are outside, sittling through all kinds of weather conditions, so it is important to take care in the upkeep in order to ensure that worn out parts can be attended to immediately, which will provide you with the well being of safety, and many years of jumping and flipping.
People are saying that they have no time for training. And what about mini bouncers? They are more than affordable and you can use it any time. No need to talk about health benefits.
