Trampolinesshop has a great selection of trampolines covers from the industry's leading brands. Although all trampolines are designed to be weatherproof, a cover is a great addition. Not only does the cover protect the trampoline bed from harmful UV rays, but it also keeps the trampoline free from bird droppings, tree leaves, sap and other debris. Trampoline Cover Advice - What should you look for?A trampoline cover is a great addition to your trampoline kit. Although it may not improve the safety of your trampoline, having and using a cover will definitely prolong the life of your trampoline. 1. Get the right sizeWhen choosing a cover, it is incredibly important that your cover fits. Too small and it will not cover a trampoline and too big means that there will be lots of gaps where rain and frost will seep in. To make sure you get the correct size we recommend looking at our trampoline measuring guide which clearly and simply shows you the correct way to measure the size of your trampoline. Working out the dimensions of your trampoline will only take a minute and the only equipment you will need is a tape measure. 2. Tie On Trampoline Covers Vs Elasticated Trampoline CoversTie On Trampoline Covers - The tie on range of covers is designed to be attached to the leg section of a trampoline frame. When compared to the elasticated version, these are cheaper but do take longer to attach to the trampoline frame.
Elasticated Trampoline Covers - The elasticated covers are designed to be tight fitting and to hold the cover in place in windy conditions. They are more expensive than the tie on covers yet they are much quicker and easier to fit. They are also generally made of much thicker more durable material. 3. Letting The Water ThroughMany people assume that a trampoline cover will keep the trampoline dry but this is not the case. A trampoline cover is actually designed to protect the trampoline, pads and bed from the elements not to keep it dry. It is important that the water drains through the cover and bed onto the ground below as otherwise the water would pool on top of the cover and this force pushing down onto the bed would cause the bed to sag and the springs to stretch. This would weaken your trampoline and seriously damage your springs over time. Therefore, good quality covers have eyelets or grommets to help the water drain through. 4. UV ResistantIt is really important that when you buy a trampoline cover it is UV resistant to prolong the life of the cover. Without UV resistance, covers have a tendency to crack and weaken and become particularly damaged if hit by a frost. We are proud to say that all of our trampoline covers are UV protected.
