Trampoline Pads act as a soft cusion around the frame of the trampoline preventing injuries caused by falling on the strings and into the springs. Trampoline Pads also prevent rusting of the springs and are vital to the trampoline creating a safe and comfortable environment for your children to play on. Trampoline pads come in a number of sizes and thickness and should be purchased if your trampoline safety enclosure is not attached inside the circumference of the outer rail. More than likely your own pads are either worn or damaged on your trampoline and you are looking to replace yours. Many injuries are caused by hitting the side of the trampoline. It is essential therefore to obtain a thick pad to cover the whole outer edge of your trampoline. There are trampoline mats to fit all types of outdoor trampolines. Check with your supplier to insure that the pad will fit your trampoline. The more expensive trampoline pads are usually thicker (about 30mm) and often made of waterproof polyester, superior to PVC padding that may crack in the sun.
