Inflatable water trampoline
Photo by Jezz Water trampoline. Do you have a pool, a house, cottage or cabin on the lake?
Do you have a child who loves to jump and bounce for hours on end?
Do YOU want to have some plain old “child-like” bouncin’ fun?
Do you worry about the safety of a regular trampoline in your backyard?
Then this is the water toy for YOU! Water trampoline. Why not complete your lake house with one this summer and enjoy some wholesome, family fun! I understand, buying a one is a big decision to make, as it comes with a big price tag. But, I know people who are lucky enough to have them; their 3 kids, their friends, Mom and Dad, and their 6 cousins sure make that investment, money well spent!
The most popular models of water trampoline are 15 feet and 20 feet in diameter. They will accommodate a family and friends, with room for loungers to watch the jumpers. Consider how much space you have when choosing a size. You will need a lot of space around the water trampoline away from boat traffic and docks. Water trampoline is designed to be used only in large bodies of water with depths of at least 10 feet of water. Do not use or allow anyone else to use the water trampoline on land or any other hard surface or in swimming pools or shallow water. You will need a location that is most protected from wind, of sufficient water depth, and free of obstructions above and below the water. These water trampolines are typically anchored for the season and setting them up, although easy to do, requires some effort and time. You will need a high speed inflator to get the tube properly inflated. A minimum of 200 lbs of anchor weight is recommended for most applications. Many people use the concrete anchors used for anchoring docks or rafts. Water trampolines are available at most building supply centres in cottage country. Larger water trampolines in open areas may need even more weight. A shock chord is best for attaching the water trampoline to the anchor line as it will absorb vertical movements and wave action.
Water trampolines were made to give people who live near the lakes of the world an opportunity to further enjoy water play. Just as people enjoy trampolines in their backyards for healthy exercise and fun, that enjoyment can be taken one step further and used at the lake. However, water trampoline is not cheap trampolines, and may not be right for all individuals, but for those who wish to have more summer fun at the cottage, investing in a water trampoline may be the way to go.
