The First Day Of Spring 2009

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Finally the rays of sunshine have graced us with their presence, Spring has officially begun. After a long winter we have some warm sunny rays to cheer us up, saying that though the snow was pretty awesome this year. I was quite interested in how they actually choose this day to be the actual Vernal Equinox. Here’s a basic explanation from wikipedia: In spring, the axis of the Earth is tilted toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to “spring forth,” giving the season its name.

Now that we have a basic idea of what spring is and how they measure and come to this exact day, we can talk about how it affects you. Well it affects us humans in a big way, we can finally wake up, open the curtains in the morning and see some sunshine. Driving on the way to work this morning i took the time to notice just how many beautiful summer bulbs are out and flowering, advertising that the sun is finally here. Spring really is a great time, a time where we get excited about being in the garden and outdoors.

Now this is where we come in and talk about the outdoors and trampolines, as we are a trampoline company after all. Generally people are trying to make the most of this lovely weather we’ve been having the last few weeks and are thinking about the summer and what they need to make the most of their time. Well you need to get your trampoline out is the answer.

However the dreaded always happens every year, the children are pestering you on a sunny day to get their trampoline out and you realise that you have packed it right into the back of the garage. After labouring away to get the trampoline out, you then find that the rats have been at the trampoline pad surround and that you forgot to buy that new bed that it needed last year after that barbecue. Well never fear, that’s what we are here for.

We undertsand that with the current financial climate that you aren’t so keen on replacing the whole trampoline and would rather get the proper spares for the trampoline. The question is though where can i get the right trampoline equipment? Right here at Etoyszone, we stock all the spares that your trampoline parts that you would ever need.

Ideally you are probably are only looking to replace the trampoline bed and trampolines pads.Keep in mind though that you are going to have those barbeques again this year, and that same bird is goin gto come and crap on the trampoline again. So we suggest purchasing a trampoline cover with your trampoline pad or bed at the same time, ensuring that your trampoline will last as long as possible. Come have a browse through the relevant trampoline accessories that we have on offere now and see if you can grab yourself a spring bargian.

Happy trampolining.

Trampoline Parts and Trampoline Damage

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

The dreaded trampoline in the wind damage, this picture was actually taken in America but all over the world high wind causes trampoline damage everywhere. In the UK it was a rare thing to have storms as we do now, but climate change seems to be changing the face of things. With floods down south and Arctic winds up north it’s forcing more and more people to become weather conscious. With the recent weather in my village it made me think about this and i thought it would be useful to write something on how to prevent damage like this happening.

The main points to consider are:

  • Have you purchased a Trampoline Tie Down Kit
  • Is your trampoline situated in an enclosed area?
  • Could the trampoline be sunk into the ground?
  • If you have a safety enclosure up, have you properly secured it to resist wind capture?
  • Have you thought about having a trampoline skirt to stop wind capture underneath?
  • Another Really basic idea (not hugely keen on this one) is some people weight the trampoline down by putting heavy objects on the bed. This is pretty common practice, but I’m not a huge fan of it purely for the fact that it puts a lot of tension on the springs and will cause eventual sagging.

Those are just a few tips to have a read through and hopefully be helpful. Regarding spare trampoline parts, our shop Etoyszone Trampolines carry a full range of ever expanding Trampoline Parts that are suitable to use with most trampolines.

NB: Just a note here, before you rush off and buy loads of parts to rebuild your damaged trampoline it may very well be cheaper to buy a whole new unit. With the current market as it is, lots of retailers are having huge price crashes and you may be able to pick something at a bargain price and a lot cheaper option than re-kitting your trampoline.
