Water Trampolines: Why You Should Get One

By Jerry Bencia

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

If you buy a regular trampoline you will need more space to store it. Water trampolines are far more portable therefore. They have also become common utilities at gyms and schools as they can provide a cardio workout session 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.

The easiest way to buy a water trampoline is to order one off the Internet. Some very good offers can be obtained online though you must only shop at secure sites and not get taken in by luring advertisements. A good way to fetch a nice discount on your water trampoline purchase is to use discount coupons and request free shipping by going in for a big purchase that includes the main units and some accessories. You will be using the accessories at some time or the other so combining them with the initial purchase will cut on costs.
