How to choose the right trampoline?

Family or recreational trampolines

Perfect for families and children, these trampolines prioritize safety and fun. When selecting the perfect trampoline for your family, it is crucial to take into account various factors such as:

• the type and installation method,
• size,
• weight capacity,
• safety features and
• overall durability.

Additionally, it is essential to consider the age and skill level of the users, as well as the specific activities you have in mind. For instance, you may opt for a smaller trampoline for the little ones, or a larger one for engaging in family fun or even practicing gymnastics and fitness right in the comfort of your own home.

Sport trampolines

Sport trampolines are unparalleled in performance, setting them apart from all other trampolines. These trampolines offer maximum bounce for advanced users.

When selecting the perfect one, it is crucial to consider the factors that will impact your experience. These include:

• the user's level of expertise - whether they are an advanced jumper or a professional,
• trampoline's intended purpose is training for athletes, gymnasts, or even extreme jumping enthusiasts.

Typically, sports trampolines are made from high-quality materials that resist intensive use, have a bigger jumping surface, and use a professional spring system and double frame for maximum stability while performing. Perforated jumping mats with the design of no air resistance ensure outstanding bounce performance.

Depending on the jumping skills, you can choose different Akrobat Sport trampolines, from smaller round trampoline Primus Inground to bigger Primus Flat and Primus Challenger for higher performance.

Commercial or public use trampolines

Trampolines for public use cater to a wide range of people seeking additional entertainment in public spaces, such as sports parks, fitness centers, gyms, hotels, urban green areas, or campsites. These types of trampolines accommodate a larger number of people, so they need to withstand higher usage frequency and a greater number of jumps, significantly higher than that seen by family trampolines.

There are many types of trampolines for public use, and to choose the one that will perfectly fit in your location, we recommend considering the main questions: 

• Firstly, where would you place the trampoline? Maybe, a city park, hotel, camp, or even shopping mall?
• Secondly, where will you install the trampoline - indoors or outdoors? Choose the one that fits in the landscape, but is also made to resist all weather types, water, and rust.
• And third, what type of visitors do you plan to - kids, adults, or visitors who jump professionally? Accordingly, keep in mind if safety enclosures are needed, the maximum weight capacity, and the proper size.
  
  
  

Wherever the choice you make, Akrobat trampolines ensure safety and unforgettable performance for you and your visitors.
