Buying a trampoline for your children is a great way to ensure they grow up healthy and strong. Instead of spending all day inside watching TV, your child will spend more time outdoors, under the sun, using their muscles and giving their imagination plenty of exercise. However, trampolines carry with them a certain amount of risk. So it makes sense to have an enclosure set up to keep them safe. Let’s take a look at how the Skywalker Trampoline Enclosure stacks up.
Specs
This trampoline with safety enclosure is 15 by 9 feet. It has a rectangular shape to it, making it a great choice for young, competitive jumpers or those kids who aspire to become gymnasts. Rectangular trampolines are capable of providing jumpers with more height than the circular ones you see a lot of today. So having a higher enclosure is necessary.
Durable Construction
Obviously, a trampoline is no good if it can’t put up a fight. It will need to withstand the elements, of course, but that’s only half the battle. Your children will also be putting it through its paces. For this reason, the Skywalker Trampoline is made from galvanized steel. The T-sockets are also reinforced. You’ll also notice there’s an enclosure frame above too which works to prevent twisting of the frame.
At 108 pounds, this is definitely not some flimsy accessory. It will hold its own and keep its place. Aside from the way it’s attached to the trampoline, the heft will also help keep jumpers safe.
That being said, the weather will certainly get a shot at the enclosure as well. The netting will be especially vulnerable to strong winds and debris. Fortunately, with the Skywalker Trampoline Enclosure, the materials are all made to be weather resistant. This means it will last for years of normal weather conditions, even the occasional severe turn.
Easy and Reliable Installation
While you’d do anything to keep your kids safe, it’s certainly nice that you don’t need to do much to install the Skywalker Trampoline Enclosure. It attaches to the trampoline by interlocking with the actual jumping mat itself. A button-hole attachment is utilized to attach the netting to the surface at each and every v-ring.
Once it’s set up, you don’t need to worry about major accidents occurring. The enclosure netting is made with a high quality material made from polyethylene. This not only gives the entire enclosure serious durability, but also provides your children with UV protection.
There are also one inch thick pads meant to cover the springs. They also come with UV protected pads as well. Like the v-rings, these are attached to the trampoline frame thanks to reinforced stretch bands. So no matter which way your child goes, they should have a comfortable landing.
While the price tag of this trampoline definitely doesn’t come cheap, you need to look at it as an investment in your family’s safety and against lawsuits if someone else gets hurt on your trampoline. As far as enclosures go, this one is a great choice.
