I want to buy a water trampoline and was wondering the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer. I am a competitive gymnast and need a lot of bounce. My budget is tight. I do not want to spend over $400 dollars. Can you tell me which one is cheaper. Thanks for your help! it would be very helpful if you include links.


Answer
I swear I answered like 10 of these exact questions. A few by you. I don't get it. Why are you posting the same question over and over again? Anyway...

Q: What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer?

A: A water trampoline and a water bouncer have a few distinct differences. Water bouncers tend to be smaller, less expensive and also do not produce as high of jumps. This is because water bouncers have netting that is attached directly to the inflation tube whereas water trampolineâs netting is attached by springs to a frame which allows for higher bouncing and can support heavier weight loads.


Water trampolines and bounce platforms look very similar and indeed are similar. Both water trampolines and bounce platforms are have a bounce surface and both can be used for hours of fun. Attachments are offered for both water trampolines and bounce platforms. Attachments can include slides, logs and ladders. Water trampolines have a bounce surface supported by a steel frame and trampoline springs, bounce platforms have jump surface supported by a spring-less interlocking webbing connected from the floatation tube to the jump surface. Water trampolines can hold more weight and will have a higher jump compared to a bounce platform.

Bounce platforms are a great family recreational product and costs less then a water trampoline. It will support a good amount of weight and will provide a short bounce. Generally a bouncer will not require any assembly other then inflating and anchoring. A water trampoline requires assembling the framed jump surface. This will take about 30 minutes additional set-up time. Because of these differences water trampolines are generally higher priced then bounce platforms.

Is there a maximum distance from shore that I can put my water trampoline?

We have a cabin in Minnesota and I was wondering if there is a maximum distance from shore that you can put rafts or water trampolines? If so, does anyone know the distance? Thanks.


Answer
You need to provide more information. Are you planning to leave it there for the summer or just move it back and forth? If you plan to leave it there you'll need to mark it and light it in some way so that boaters will see the obstruction. You should also keep it clear of any navigation channels that might be near by. You really should ask this question of your local lake association. See if they have any specific rules. If they don't you still want to make sure you make everything as safe as possible, or they will quickly make rules as strict as possible to get rid of trampolines completely. If you place it off shore and someone runs into it at night, you will be legally liable for placing the obstruction out there. If someone simply comes along and tries using your trampoline, and hurts themselves, you will be legally liable because you left it there unsupervised. You need to be very careful how you proceed.

At least get it out as far as you want once and have a great time and enjoy your summer.
