Trampolines can be a lot of fun but a few trampoline accessories can make the bouncing safer and even more fun. Many models will come with one or more accessories on them when you buy them. However, you can always add more accessories to them to make the experience even better, without overdoing it.
1. Ladder
You might wonder how a ladder can fall under trampoline accessories when almost every trampoline you buy comes with one.
Still, many of them aren’t that quality-made and can be even dangerous if not safe enough.
Shops these days offer quite a variety of ladders. The best ones will have extended, anti-slip feet and a neat hook so you can attach it to the trampoline safely.
2. Cover
I’ve seen a lot of people ignore the trampoline when not in use and leave it in the weather. To protect your trampoline from sun, rain or even leaves, you can get a cover that will extend its lifespan for years.
Shops that sell trampoline accessories will have a lot of choices in their selection.
3. Wind Stakes
Wind can cause quite a lot of damage, both to your trampoline and your or your neighbor’s houses and backyards.
If you live in the area known for strong winds, then I would definitely recommend that you get trampoline stakes. They will prevent the wind from blowing your trampoline away.
4. Spring Replacements
For both safety and longevity sake, you should check the springs on your trampoline regularly.
Any damage on the springs can cause injuries or additional damage to the trampoline. If you notice that some of the springs might not be in the best conditions, you should look for new ones.
5. Shoe net
You know how the kids can scatter their shoes around, especially when they are excited to get on the trampoline as soon as possible.
Some of the trampoline accessories shops will have neat shoe mesh nets that you can attach next to the ladder to put the shoes in and prevent them from ending up all over the backyard.
6. Fun Accessories
Besides safety, trampolines accessories can add tons of fun. One of the most popular accessories is definitely the basketball hoop.
If you have a safety net enclosure, you can get a basketball hoop to place it on top of the pole. Kids will love shooting hoops while bouncing on the trampoline.
Besides the hoop, you can also bring more fun to the trampoline by adding a toss game for your kids.
Trampolines are an amazing toy if you take care of them and use them properly. If you don’t already have all the items that you need with your new trampoline, I’m sure that some of these trampoline accessories will help you get the most out of it.
