The best affordable trampoline

[jeb_b_vt]

im looking into a new trampoline cause my old one sucks, no bounce at all. Any good suggestions?

 

[iMissMyBro]

best =/= affordable

build one yourself

Ask Sam.Zahner. He has a 16 foot octagon and it was like 600 he said.

Hexagons are hard to find, but the idea behind straight sides is more springs and more of the tension pushes down the seams to the sweet spot in the middle of the tarp(jumping surface). Whereas the circle spreads it evenly around the springs instea of the middle area. So basically stay away from round sides and you're set. Its like a sheet, of 2 people used both of their hands to hold up a circle cloth or blanket, it would sag evenly throughout the middle. But with a hexagon, if both people only held 4 corners, it allows a slightly more taut rectangle surface. It may be hard to imagine, but stay away from circle

Do you have personal experience with this trampoline? How bouncy is it?

 

[Forcillo]

Yes. My friend owns the exact same one. It's bouncier than a conventional round tramp, but not nearly as much as one you might find in a gym. If you bounce on a round one and then this, you'll feel that it goes higher though

I was just about to post the same thread. My trampoline got blown away by a storm a couple weeks ago and is fucked up. It was a piece of shit anyway. So which is better of the ones posted? The octogon or the rectangle?

 

[kamron_708]

Octagon fits more people, which can result in more double bouncers, but by themselves I personally think the octo is better because there are more springs and it's more durable.

So what's the verdict, hexagon or rectangle? How comfortable do you guys feel throwing shit on the rectangle about falling off? Recommend the protective netting? I just broke my fibula landing off the side of a rectangle so I either need to not huck so hard or get an octagon.
