Types of Trampolines, securing trampolines

Looking at all of the different brands and types of trampolines can be overwhelming. There are so many places to source trampolines from including the brands DDI Sports, Parkside, Jump Pro, Jumpsport, Pro Jump, Skywalker, Airzone, Variflex, Fun Spot, JumpKing, Hedstrom, NBF, Sky Bouncer, Bazoongi, Bollinger, Supertramp, Leisure Kingdom, Bravo Sports, Propel, JumpZone, Leisure Bouncer, Orbounder, Lifestyle USA, American, Sky Bouncer, Sundance, Euro Active, Sportspower, Bounce Pro, High Jump, Walmart, Kmart, Dicks Sporting Goods, Academy Sports, Sports Authority, Sams Club, Costco, Toys R Us, Menards, BJ's, Modell's, Sports Chalet.

Surely you can find a fitting trampoline from one of these places. No matter how strong the trampoline frame may seem, do not underestimate the need to tie down the trampoline. It only takes one high wind storm to actually blow over and away a heavy trampoline. We have witnessed ourselves a 12x18 foot oval trampoline (Costco) with metal frame being knocked over by 100 km winds and sent blown over to the neighbors yard. In that case at that time a few people can battle the winds and set the trampoline on the opposite side of the house from the source of the wind direction to get you by the storm, but the best precaution is to use Trampoline Tiedowns and secure it during calm weather for peace of mind even when away from home.

The worst is watching the news from a vacation destination as to how your home town with your trampoline is experiencing high winds. Then you cannot sleep all night picturing the heavy trampoline barreling down the yards and possibly damaging fences, homes or even people or animals. So a little precaution goes a long way.
