A helpful tip when setting up your trampoline frame.

When you first setup your trampoline frame, here is a little tip.

Pop all your springs in their holes in readiness for putting your trampoline mat on.

Now as you will see here in the photo the circular parts of the frame are not quite butting together properly.

A lot of people wont notice this and simply proceed to put their trampoline together.

Now the tip is before putting your mat on go around to each join in the circular part of the frame and undo these joining screws slightly so they are not tight.

What happens now is as you put your mat on and start joining all the springs to the mat it starts to put pressure on the frame, and with these screws being loose slowly but surely the frame pieces butt in together a lot better.

It gives a firmer join and keeps your trampoline slightly more stable. If they are not sitting quite flush a small tap with a rubber mallet or hammer will make sure they are seated properly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember now to go back around and tighten up all the joining screws.

ENJOY!

 

Oz Trampolines tips to setting up a trampoline for on Christmas Eve

You have set yourself the task of setting up a trampoline on Christmas eve – this can go one 2 ways. So lets look at what you need to ensure everyone in the house is happy on Christmas day.

Merry XmasEarly December

  • Check that all your trampoline boxes have arrived and all parts are present. We do check that all the parts are in the box but please recheck as 1 missing spring or bolt can not be delivered until many days after Christmas if you find it is missing
  • Decide on the place it is to go, get the tape measure out and measure up the space to ensure it will fit. Remember trampolines are measured by their diameter so a 10ft trampoline includes the frame as well. If the ground isn’t level level it off so the trampoline can fit flush on the ground.

Dec 24

The time has come for the covert operation to install a trampoline usually in the dark. 4 Important steps to remember

  1. Allow yourself plenty of time – a trampoline with net will take 1&1/2 to 2 hours. This will stop some frustration as well, it is not a 20 minute job it will take you 2 hours to complete
  2. Don’t drink to much before or during the installation or next morning the trampoline may not look so good through sober eyes
  3. Keep the bolts and screws in a container as finding them in the grass when dark is not easy
  4. Refer to the booklet or videos if you get stuck

From all the team at Oz Trampolines we wish you a safe, happy and bouncy festive season.

We bought our son an Oz Trampolinestramp for Christmas last year. It was delivered within a couple of days and that was in the December Christmas period.Pretty easy to put together and the website has a great instructional video to help!trampoline with tentI’m really happy with the quality of the tramp. Did a bit of research before purchasing and I’m so glad we went with Oz Trampolines. It feels much sturdier than others I’ve seen and comes with things other call “extras” like the ladder and a weather cover, etc.Couldn’t be happier with it!!

+ Sturdy, good quality, quick delivery time and easy order process

An excellent product and was much easier to assemble then I was expecting. My daughter has used it everyday since the “Santa” delivery. So absolutely adores her “number trampoline”. The number prints are a great idea. Very happy with our trampoline and would highly recommend. Delivery and communication with the company was great and I feel comfortable knowing I can call an Australian company if I need replacement parts.Purchased at: Oz Trampolines

+ Great quality, easy to assemble, looks great, quality product

What makes a trampoline bouncy?

Trampoline springs makes a trampoline bouncyWhat makes a trampoline bouncy? It’s the springs that give a trampoline its bounce. The mat simply connects all the springs together and gives a soft surface to play on. The springs store your kinetic energy as potential energy by stretching, just like a rubber band. The further you stretch a spring the harder it is. Without the springs it would just be a mat without bounce.

Trampolines as an energy converter

Fundamentally a trampoline is an energy converter. When you jump your muscles are converting your stored potential energy into kinetic energy. As you land the trampoline gets tighter and the springs stretch, safely converting your kinetic energy (jump) into potential energy ready for use. Once the trampoline has converted and stored all of your kinetic energy it gives it back to you by converting the potential energy from the springs back into kinetic energy and springing you up into the air.

I purchased my trampoline 2 weeks before Christmas and it was delivered 2 days after I had paid for it which was fantastic!! As had been suggested I checked the parts and the pads had been stitched incorrectly with an opening to the padding inside them. I contacted the company the next day and had a great response. 2 days later the new pads were delivered to my door. Life is such that things aren’t always perfect but when they are dealt with in the way that Oz Trampolines dealt with our issue then it is not a problem at all!! A pleasure to deal with a great company!! Would highly recommend!!

+ Easy to put up with the instructional online info- it took us an hour!! Great bounce. Strong and sturdy – great for kids and adults alike.
