Inflatable Water Trampolines: The Fun You Could Be Having

By Harry Jensen


You must have heard of water bouncers and water trampolines. Both these units are slightly different with reference to portability. A water trampoline comes with springs in a steel frame that supports the main jumping area. On the other hand, a water bouncer utilizes only a webbing that is connected to the bouncing area with a flotation tube.

There are some advantages of buying a water trampoline instead of a water bouncer which include the facility of being able to bounce higher on the water trampoline. A water trampoline can also handle more weight than the bouncer so several members of the family can bounce together on it. But the extra sturdiness makes the water trampoline a little more time consuming than the water bouncer to set up.

Regular trampolines are used for many purposes ranging from international competitions to circuses and fairs. There has been a recent craze for using trampolines at home both for exercise and fun purposes. Water trampolines can provide a very good cardio workout for the entire family

Regular trampolines occupy more space because of the large steel frames but water trampolines are inflatable and can easily be stowed away in the house. Water trampolines have become very popular at gyms and schools. You can get a good cardio workout session with the water trampoline too.

Two things you will have to be particularly careful about while buying a water trampoline is the diameter of the jumping area and the climbing ladder. The ladder should be convenient to use and the diameter large enough to suit your family. Diameters from 9 to 12 feet are usually good enough for a small family. Additional accessories like basketball kits for the side of the trampoline, slides and bouncing boards are fun too.

Water trampolines can be easily bought off the Internet but ensure that you do so from a reputed seller. Do not get taken in by luring advertisements and shop for water trampolines only at secure sites. You can often request free shipping or use discount coupons if you buy trampolines along with several accessories.
