Rectangle Trampoline With Net

Rectangle trampoline with net

We all know and remember the earlier rectangle trampolines of 30-40 years ago with no net.

A rectangle trampoline with a net is a more recent addition to the trampoline – maybe starting around 2009.

Round trampolines with nets came first

Rectangle trampolines went into hibernation when the new safer round trampolines came onto the market however the bounce for those familiar with rectangle trampolines just wasn’t the same, which translates to the round trampoline simply not being as good as the old rectangle trampoline with no net.

Who came up with the rectangle net design?

• Someone, I don’t know who, and I can only assume a seller of the round trampolines with nets who based on frustrated feedback from consumers wanted to bring back a rectangle trampoline but with a safety net.
• It was, in the end, a simple change that had to happen and that was the re-positioning of the legs. I am sure it took quite a few drafts to come up with a working design.

What are the differences between the old rectangle and the new one with nets?

• The legs are positioned diagonally across each corner and run perpendicular to the frame where the earlier legs on the rectangle trampolines had two sets that ran parallel across the width of the trampoline and angled in under the frame.
• Now with two poles on each side of the trampoline and the legs sitting neatly in line with the frame, means a net pole can be easily clamped onto each leg with support on each side of the trampoline to hold a net.

Some have inside netting others outside - what is best?

• All our rectangle nets sit on the outside of the padding and frame which overall gives the kids more play space and if there is ever more than one on at a time they have the option to sit on the pads out of the way while another does some tricks.
• The added benefit is that other people on the trampoline don't unbalance the mat as is what happens on a trampoline with a net that sits on the inside of the padding. So a user gets a close to normal bounce experience on a trampoline with outside netting
