All caring parents strive to accustom their children to sports so that they grow up strong and healthy. But how to interest little fidgets? This problem can be solved with the help of a children's trampoline, on which the baby and his friends can have fun and develop physically.

What is the use of a trampoline?

Jumping on this projectile contributes to:

• stabilization of the cardiovascular system;
• improvement emotional state, coordination and control of your body;
• development of the vestibular apparatus;
• increase endurance;
• simultaneous training of many muscle groups.

Types of trampolines

Since the scope of the projectiles under consideration is quite wide, they can conditionally be combined into three types:

1. Sports - used by athletes in preparation for competitions. To install these trampolines, special gyms with high ceiling, because he can throw an athlete up to ten meters in height. Alternative option- outdoor installation.
2. Amateur - it is good to do aerobics or practice high jumps on it. They are usually smaller than sports shoes and are made of other materials, but there is a variety of sizes and colors. For the safety of children, they often have a special protective net.
3. Inflatable. Their mission is to entertain children. It attracts bright shape, colors and ergonomics, as well as the scale: whole gaming complexes or attractions are made. The advantage of inflatable trampolines is their compact size when folded, making it easy to find a place in a regular pantry.

Manufacturers

Specialized stores are full of a variety of home trampolines. In order not to get confused, you need to answer a few questions for yourself: "where will it be used (in the house or on the street)", "how old are the children", and also set a limit on the purchase budget.

So, the Hasttings brand is engaged in the production sports trampolines high quality without being overly concerned with design. Outwardly, these are strict and simple shells that will seem uninteresting to kids, but will be appreciated by schoolchildren. Depending on the size and configuration, the price for them varies from 2 to 35 thousand rubles.

The Dutch brand Berg offers a wide range of trampolines: classic and inflatable, different forms and colors with a high degree of safety and quality. But the price range is much higher: 12-46 thousand rubles.

The HappyHop brand specializes in the production of inflatable children's trampolines. They are made in the form of entire inflatable towns and are perfect for installation in a country house or a playground. Their cost ranges from 2 to 50 thousand rubles.

The Intex company, which is widely known as a manufacturer of a wide range of inflatable products, offers budget models (1-5 thousand rubles) of children's trampolines. These products are characterized by durability and safety for the smallest jumpers, as all products are thoroughly tested and comprehensively researched.

Trampoline at home

Unfortunately, not all parents have the opportunity to purchase such a popular projectile for their child. But do not despair, because it is quite possible to make a homemade trampoline with your own hands. Let not as chic as they show in advertising, but one of a kind.

Before you get started, you should decide what type of projectile you will be doing. The most popular among children are spring and inflatable trampolines. The first type is nothing more than a metal support with an attached (with the help of built-in springs) trampoline mat, which is ideally surrounded by a protective net that prevents the child from falling out when jumping. The second type is inflatable: it is undoubtedly very bright and popular, but it is better to entrust its production to professionals, since a home inflatable trampoline is a “three-star task”.

Step-by-step instruction

1. You should start with the purchase or manufacture of blanks. Now let's expand all the elements of the frame of the future trampoline.
2. Next, you need to connect the ends of the lower section of the product.
3. The next step is to fix the ends of the frame.
4. Then we put it on the ground in such a way that the leg holes are at the top, into which we insert the W-shaped legs of the trampoline by gently pressing on them.
5. Now the frame needs to be turned over and put.
6. Next, to make a home trampoline, you need to fix the mat inside, for which we need hooks. It is necessary to carry out uniform fastening according to the principle of the dial: on the holes, which are conventionally located on the numbers 3, 6, 9 and 12. This will ensure an even distribution of the trampoline mat.
7. Next, you should fix the remaining springs - diagonally.
8. The final step is fixing the trampoline pillow: put it on top, then use the rope to secure it, throw it over the spring, return it to its original place and tie it.
9. In order for the trampoline to be stable and not slip, the legs at the bottom must be sealed with rubber. The upper parts of the racks should be sealed with foam rubber to make them softer and more durable.

Here is such a simple instruction explaining how to make a homemade trampoline.

From what's at hand

It is unlikely that in the house of an average family there are ready-made parts for constructing a trampoline. This is not scary, because they can be made from improvised means. An iron hoop can serve as a frame, in which you need to drill holes with a drill. Next, you need to take a wooden beam, which can be sawn into 8 equal parts (0.3 m each) and make holes in them, a little more (2 mm) than the diameter of the frame. We separate the hoops and thread them into the resulting openings.

If strong loops are sewn to the edges of the tarpaulin and strong rubber is threaded into them, you get a trampoline mat, which will only be wrapped around the hoop. From the same material, you can make a cover and put it on the structure to prevent the child's legs from falling into holes. So, from improvised materials, a home trampoline for children is quite obtained.

Another option

If the above materials were not at home, do not lose heart. There are many other, at first glance, unnecessary things that will help in this matter. So, if you take a net from an old Soviet bed and a spring, connect them to a solid metal or wooden base, you get a homemade trampoline with a net. In this option, you need to pay attention to safety: remove sharp parts and use soft material to wrap a solid base. An alternative when building a home trampoline is the option when the spring net does not need to be placed on an elevation, and the frame is placed on the ground with a previously dug recess. The pit must be deep enough so that the heaviest jumper does not touch the bottom of the pit while jumping. The edges of the metal frame must be buried in the ground or covered with soft mats.

Tire trampoline

Surprisingly, even with the help of an old car tire, you can make a homemade trampoline. Ideal in this case would be a tire from a large tractor wheel due to its large diameter. At a short distance (about 3 cm) from the edge of the upper edge of the protector, we will make holes through which a rubber cord or rope will pass. We fix inside the jumping canvas, made as described above in the step-by-step instructions. The rigidity of the structure can be adjusted if there is a metal hoop or a wooden board of the required diameter.

Buy or do?

The do-it-yourself trampoline has two undeniable advantages before the factory "brothers":

1. Price. In the presence of improvised means, of which thrifty owners have plenty, it practically reduces to zero. But even with the purchase of ready-made parts for a trampoline, their cost will be much lower than a new factory product.
2. Uniqueness. Your child can be sure that there is no second such trampoline, which you can safely brag about to your friends.

Of course, factory products benefit greatly in the variety of sizes, models and colors. And the larger the purchase budget, the wider the choice. And ready-made inflatable trampolines have no competition at all, because it is almost impossible to make them yourself. For small children, inflatable home trampolines are very often chosen. Customer reviews of this projectile are mostly positive: it performs its entertainment and sports functions perfectly, not inferior to analogues in strength and safety.

Consider some more devices that you can equip your home sports section . This time the focus will be on children's sports and entertainment devices.

Do-it-yourself swing-beam

Made from wooden beams or logs of different lengths (2 bars 2.8-3.0 m long and 2 bars 2.0-2.2 m). The distance between the dug-in logs is 80 and 60 cm. The log-racks are connected by two crossbars at a height of 1.8-2.0 and 1.3-1.5 m. To do this, three holes are cut out in the upper ends of the racks, and one more - at the level the tops of a small log-rack, on the side of the large ones. Trimmings are placed in the wells water pipes, which are fixed with strips of sheet iron using nails. Opposite large log-racks, a support is dug into the ground to push with their feet. To prevent the pillars from bending, cover their bases in the pits with stones, broken bricks and concrete. On a large crossbar, you can strengthen a swing made of cords and boards. Attach a homemade basketball basket to one of the upper racks for throwing balls at a target. On the small crossbar, strengthen the rubber band. Standing on it, the child will easily, without undue effort, pull himself up.

Hanging on the bar, you should perform pull-ups with different positions of the legs, swinging, imitation of cycling in the hang, body turns to the sides, etc.

Do-it-yourself jumper

The simplest simulator for the development of jumping ability. Best Device to please your children and give them a lot of positive emotions. To make a jumper with your own hands, you should attach two rubber shock absorbers with one end to the belt, and with the other - to two hooks driven into logs dug into the ground 50-80 cm apart from each other from the sides of the practitioner. By jumping up, you can adjust the resistance by moving forward or backward from the hooks.

Homemade expanders

The most simple in execution are expanders of the type "Jenes" and "Expander on the contrary."

"Genes" (female expander) consists of a wooden platform, to which a spring (or several springs) or rubber shock absorbers with a handle is hooked.

Exercises are performed (repetitions according to well-being):

1. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform, legs slightly bent, hands below, with an overhand grip, hold on to the handles of the expander. Raise straightened arms forward - up to shoulder height (inhale), smoothly return to the initial floor. (exhalation). Execution speed - average.
2. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform, bend your legs slightly, hands below, with a grip from below, hold on to the handles of the expander. Raise straightened arms forward - up to shoulder height, straighten legs (inhale), smoothly return to Ref. (exhalation). The pace of execution is average.
3. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform, hands with an overhand grip hold the handles of the stretched expander. Raise straightened arms forward and upward to the height of the chin (inhale), smoothly carry out a controlled return to the initial floor. (exhalation). The pace of execution is slow.
4. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform, hands with a grip from below hold the handles of the stretched expander. Raise straightened arms forward-up to a level above the head (inhale), slowly return to the initial floor. (exhalation). The pace is the same.
5. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform, leaning forward, hands down. Holding the handles of the expander, straighten up without bending your arms (inhale), return to Ref. (exhalation). The pace is fast.
6. Ref.Pos. - standing on the platform with your back to the expander, legs slightly bent, grasp the handles of the expander with your hands. Straighten your legs, lean forward. Without bending your arms (exhale), return to Ex. (inhale). The pace is fast.

consists of pairs of levers 1 with traverses 2, movably connected by a finger 3. On the lower tips of the levers, ears are made of wire for fixing shock absorber 4 carbines from conventional classical expanders. These traverse levers are made from wooden slats held together with strong joints. The main dimensions are shown in the figure. One or three shock absorbers are attached to the levers. When performing exercises, the pectoral muscles and a number of others are well loaded, which, when exercising with expanders for stretching, do not experience such stresses.

Grifotyag from improvised materials

The barbell is a noisy projectile, rather difficult to manufacture. It can be successfully replaced by the original device, invented by Polish specialists. The Grifotyag device made by them does not require expensive materials in the manufacture and does not have any particular difficulties in execution. The platform requires a pine board 1300x250 mm, as well as two bars and four steel rings with a diameter of 90 mm for fastening belts and shock-absorbing rubber bands, and two metal strips for connecting the rings to the platform. As a neck of the rod, you can use a piece of water pipe with a diameter of 30-50 mm and a length of 1300 mm. Having connected all the details properly, we will get a projectile.

How to make a power simulator yourself - a log?

It is made from logs of different diameters with a length of 3-4 m. On it, you can perform a variety of strength exercises, lifting a log, holding the handles of the simulator (standing, standing in an inclination, sitting), crouching under a log, etc.

Homemade trampoline for children

This gymnastic apparatus is useful for little ones. Just like the jumper, he will give children a lot of laughter, fun and pleasant experiences. A trampoline for children is quite simple to make on your own - there would be space for its installation. The frame (1.4x1.4 m) is made of water pipes. Strengthen along the perimeter 72 homemade springs from four shoulder expanders. In the middle, a 100x100 cm tarpaulin is stretched. The frame is reinforced on dug into the ground and concreted racks. On the side you can attach a ladder. The trampoline must support the weight of an adult. Around the projectile, a 1.5 ~ 2-meter zone is freed from foreign objects.

In the photo on the Internet you can find handmade trampolines. Jumping on a projectile is a fun and useful entertainment. Both children and their parents enjoy playing it. When planning to spend the summer in the country, some craftsmen begin to think about whether it is possible to make a children's trampoline with their own hands. Let's just say that buying ready-made equipment is much easier. But if you want to test your strength and try to make a trampoline with your own hands - this is also possible!

Do-it-yourself trampoline from improvised means

Many in the country have a lot of different old and no longer very necessary things that can be given a second life. You can make a trampoline with your own hands from a mesh from a bed and springs by attaching them to a reliable metal or wooden base. jumping on old furniture, the child may be injured, so the design must be changed to make it safer. All parts with sharp corners must be removed, and the solid base must be wrapped with dense soft material. You can sew a special cover that will be worn outside around the perimeter of the structure.

The second option when making a trampoline in the country with your own hands is not to put a springy net on an elevated base, but to put a frame on the ground in which a recess has been dug. The pit is made such that the heaviest jumper does not reach the bottom of the pit while jumping. The edges of the metal base are buried in the ground or covered with soft mats.

Do-it-yourself trampolines for children from metal hoops

A do-it-yourself trampoline for children can be made from two hoops located one above the other and connected by metal or wooden partitions. You can only make steel legs if you have special tools that allow you to drill a hole in metal, or even welding machine. A simpler and more affordable option for making a trampoline with your own hands from improvised means is wooden blocks of the same height. In them, at an equal distance, above and below, holes are drilled along the diameter of the hoop that will be inserted into them.

For the jump cloth, you can purchase a special durable fabric, tarp or net. From the material it is necessary to cut a circle, process the edges, sew loops to them. To attach the fabric to the hoop, use a thick rubberized cord. Pass it through the loop and wrap it around the hoop. Stretch and secure the fabric. A self-made trampoline for children should be safe, so be sure to sew a cover that will cover the hoop and rubber cord. Put thick foam rubber inside, which will protect the jumper from blows. If the structure is installed at home, on the floor, then glue rubber to the bottom of the legs, which will prevent slipping.

Do-it-yourself trampoline from a tire

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to make your own trampoline, try using the largest diameter car tire. On the upper edge of the protector at a distance of about 3 cm from the edge, make holes for a rubber cord or rope. Fix inside the jumping cloth, made in the same way as described in the previous paragraph. The rigidity of the structure can be increased if you have a metal hoop or wooden plank desired diameter. A trampoline made with your own hands from a tire is suitable only for jumpers of a very young age.

Do-it-yourself trampoline or a ready-made projectile?

Of course, much easier than making a projectile yourself. Not everyone dares to try to build such a structure at home or in the country. The equipment purchased in the store meets all safety requirements. The cost of modern trampolines is low. On our website you can purchase a projectile of suitable size in the price range from 3 to 35 thousand rubles. Safety nets, handles and ladders are included with the equipment. To increase the safety of playing on outdoor trampolines, we recommend that you purchase sports mats that can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Try to find a child who doesn't feel like jumping! Will not work!

Children find any springy piece of furniture and start jumping.

Parents from such exercises of kids are not delighted.

Benefits of dynamic loading

Jumping are important element development. The benefits of physical activity, including jumping, have long been proven.

Babies develop motor skills, the vestibular apparatus, and the musculoskeletal system. Jumping plays an equally important role in the development of the lungs, the circulatory system .

For older children, there are many opportunities that allow you to realize physical activity. They can practice in sports sections, visit the pool, learn to dance.

But for preschoolers, such activities are practically inaccessible. But they must realize their energy! What to do?

Note: in no case should you limit the motor activity of the child. Moreover, there is a way out - a trampoline.

You can, of course, buy ready-made children's trampolines. Fortunately, today such shells are presented on the market in a large assortment. There are jumps for one person or a group of children.

The color palette, the sizes of products is pleasing to the eye. There are mesh and inflatable trampolines. Inflatable jump trainers are most often multifunctional. In case of descent, they are pumped up with pumps.

Make at home

Repair of factory trampolines, especially large sizes, consisting of several interconnected mats, will cause a lot of trouble.

Is there any alternative to the factory product? It turns out there is. A jumping simulator can be made with your own hands from improvised materials.

To make a homemade trampoline, you will have to stock up:

• metal hoop (not less than 1 m 15 cm);
• wooden block, drills, drill;
• tarpaulin or thick and durable cloth;
• slings or springs from the bed, folding bed;
• durable rubber band, pieces of rubber;
• pencil, scissors.

Frame manufacturing

There is no technology for self-manufacturing of trampolines. Each person assembles a bouncing sports equipment at his own discretion. The shape will depend on the selected base. Let's take a closer look at one of the options.

Stages of work:

1. A wooden block is cut with a hacksaw into eight equal parts up to 30 cm high. These are future legs;

It's important to know: the bar for cutting should be well dried, without cracks. Otherwise, there will be problems with the stability of the structure. We do not forget about the safety of future jumpers.

1. Holes with a diameter of not more than 2 mm are drilled around the entire circumference of the metal hoops for supports and fastening the elastic band;
2. Fasten the hoop and all 8 legs rigidly for the reliability of the structure.

Making a fabric cover for a trampoline:

1. Cut out a tarpaulin or fabric in the shape of a circle. It should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the hoop. The workpiece is neatly hemmed;

1. 16 loops are made from slings and sewn, taking into account the same steps. Sometimes a strong wire is inserted into the hemmed edge. In this case, the loops hold more securely;
2. Through the holes on the inner hoop, a wide elastic band is well pulled through the center to get a protective net;

4. Loops connect two hoops and a tarpaulin. Springs from old folding beds are often used as fasteners (instead of eyelets).

Assembly

The resulting round-shaped cover must be pulled over the inner hoop. We connect the outer and inner hoops with loops or springs. The canvas circle must be well stretched, otherwise it will not spring.

In those places where the supports were attached to the larger hoop, a strong twine is inserted into the hole and tied to the legs.

Little kids like bright products, so parents can turn on their imagination and decorate the finished trampoline. Children themselves can be involved in such work.

Take note: pieces of rubber are glued under each leg. This must be done without fail (for safety reasons) so that the trampoline does not slip during operation.

Before attaching the legs, a foam gasket is made between them and the hoop. It can be fixed with tape or synthetic glue.

Another option

As you can see, making a trampoline yourself is not so difficult. The main thing is to please your child. A homemade product is in no way inferior to a factory one. For very young children, you can stretch a net around the trampoline or put mats under the structure.

Some craftsmen use ordinary car tires to make jump structures. Using an electric drill, holes are drilled at a distance of two centimeters closer to the protectors.

Lace up with a thick nylon cord or a strong elastic band inner part tires. It turns out a tight mesh that will support the tarp and protect the life of the child.

In this case, the legs can be omitted, since the height of the tire is sufficient. Everything else is made and assembled in the same way as in the version with hoops. If you have any doubts, you can look detailed photos and video instructions.

How to do somersaults on a trampoline, see the following video:

Probably, every child would like to receive their own trampoline from their parents, where they could jump and have fun with friends. In addition, such a children's simulator helps to develop and strengthen muscles and the pulmonary system.

First you need to cut wooden block into pieces of 30 cm. There should be eight in total. Measure the diameter of the hoop you need. Then drill holes in the bars, with a diameter of 2 mm wider than the hoop. Holes are drilled close to the edges and on both sides of the bar. We separate the hoops and string the bars. Next, you need to cut a circle of canvas fabric, with a diameter of 1 meter. Hem the edges of the circle. The loops are made from a sling, 3 cm thick. A total of 16 loops are needed. Loops are evenly sewn to the canvas circle in a circle. Round thick rubber is threaded into the loops. Make sure the rubber is well tensioned.

For children's safety and to prevent the child's legs from getting into the gap between the loops, it is necessary to make a special cover for the canvas circle. At eight points, either ropes or elastic bands are sewn to it and distributed throughout the circle. Fix the cover, with the help of sewn elastic bands or ropes, on the legs.

With glue, pieces of foam rubber are attached to the upper parts of the legs. Pieces of rubber are attached to the lower ones to prevent the trampoline from slipping. That's all - the children's trampoline is ready.

Quite often in summer cottages I use a car tire as the basis of a trampoline large diameters. You can decorate the simulator for children according to your taste and imagination. Your child will certainly be delighted with such a surprise.
