Value,
Safety,
Peace of Mind
|
For
the price of one short family vacation,
or one quality mountain bike, you can
give your entire family the highest quality,
and safest, play and fitness system available.
It’s like a year-round vacation in
your own backyard |
Low-quality,
mass-market trampolines and enclosures
aren't worth the risk. For just pennies
more per day, you can provide your kids
with the safest and the best . . . a product
that will last a lifetime. What's peace
of mind worth? |
|
Springs
|
We
use high tensile strength, German Cross
Linked springs. Our springs are longer
(8-1/2") than those found on standard
backyard units, and are tapered at each
end for extended life and a smoother bounce.
Up to112 springs can be installed for
maximum weight configuration. |
Ordinary
round trampolines use 84 to 96 short (5.5”
to 6") springs. Short springs absorb
36% less energy; they bottom-out and kick
back quickly. This gives the body less
time to transfer energy, causing unnecessary
injuries. The bed is more unforgiving,
feels harder and less springy. |
|
Jumping
Surface
(the “Beds”)
|
AlleyOop’s
beds are made of industry leading Permatron®
Fabric, a tightly knit, UV resistant polypropylene
mesh. The two beds are interchangeable,
extending the life of your system. The
edges of the beds are carefully stitched,
resulting in 10 complete rows of parallel
stitching. Six of these rows are carefully
placed below a UV shield, designed to
prevent premature failure of the threads. |
Standard
trampolines use a total of only 4 or 6
rows of stitching, with threads that are
exposed to the sun’s damaging UV
rays. This causes the stitching to come
apart and rip out prematurely. |
|
Safety
Pad
|
The Spring/Frame Pad is 21 ounce reinforced vinyl fabric.
The forest green color blends beautifully with the landscape. It is 14 inches wide and has 1
inch of super high density, gym quality, foam padding across the entire pad surface, not
just at the edge.
|
Standard
pads are usually woven nylon with sewn
seams. Thin Frame/Spring Pad: Average
foam thickness across pad is less than
0.65" thick, with just 1/2"
foam over 65% of the pad surface. |
|
Frame
Finish
|
We
start with heavy gauge steel that is specially
treated inside and out. Then we apply
a tough forest green powder coat finish
(like you find on expensive outdoor patio
furniture) for lasting beauty and durability. |
Standard
zinc plating or spray paint is applied
over lighter gauge steel. |
|
Net
Supports
|
“Triple-Fail-Safe”
design, including super high strength
support straps, is unmatched in the industry. |
WARNING:
Competitive products are supported merely
by bungee cords hooked to small "sewn-in"
patches. These nets easily collapse and
the connections can rip out after several
impacts. |
|
Net
Material
|
Our
enclosures are soft-to-the-touch and use
an open weave pattern (ASTM-conforming,
non-finger snagging). This allows you
to easily view your kids at play, gives
an off-balance jumper a way to catch himself,
and gives a waiting jumper a place to
hold on. |
Competitors
use a lightweight fabric/shade cloth netting
with a burlap-like texture. Unsightly
“shade cloth” nets block out
views of landscaping, and make it harder
to see and supervise your children. |
|
Net
Position
|
Wrapping
our net outside the poles increases usable
play space by over 15%, and provides 8
locations on the pad where kids can wait
their turn, rest, or jump to safety. |
Net’s
suspended inside and away from the poles
are more confining, and don’t provide
a place for kids to rest safely off the
jumping surface. |
|
Padded
Poles
|
Our pole foam is thicker, denser, and is even covered with durable, UV resistant
PVC fabric for long life. Our patented net-to-pole connections allow the foam to
absorb impact forces without tearing. This increases the service life of the system.
|
Poorly
designed systems cause the pole foam to
tear and fall apart after only a few impacts…maybe
that’s why mass market products offer
a very short 90 day warranty. Their foam
is uncovered, so it deteriorates quickly
from UV exposure. |
|
Safe
Use
|
The
Fun & Fitness Center system is rated
for a maximum individual user weight of
265 lbs. (with 112 springs installed)
or 225 lbs. (with the recommended 84-spring
configuration). Meets or exceeds all applicable
ASTM standards. Recommended for children
six & older. |
Most
backyard trampolines are rated for only
200 lbs. or less, while the enclosures
are often separately rated for much lower
weight than the trampoline. |
|
Impact
Strength
|
In rigorous side-by-side competitive testing, our patented enclosure system was proven to be more than 3 times as strong as the nearest competitor. |
All
other competitive enclosures failed or
showed stress damage with just a few impacts! |
|
Warranty
|
Our
exclusive Lifetime Warranty is the best
in the industry. [Lifetime on steel frame
& poles; 5 years on beds and safety
net; see your dealer for complete details] |
Mass
market trampolines have shorter, prorated
warranties. |
