Do-it-yourself bed net trampoline. Children's sports devices for the home corner. Trainer for the little ones

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 is an important element of 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 .

There are many opportunities for older children to engage in physical activity. They can go in for sports, go to the pool, learn to dance.

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

Note: should never be limited motor activity 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 ones, 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. Every man collects bouncing sports equipment at your 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

Case received round shape you need to pull on 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 use their imagination and decorate 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 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 see detailed photos and video instructions.

What can be a trampoline? What designs and sizes does modern market? How safe is a trampoline for giving with a net safer than a product without a fence? Is it difficult to assemble a new trampoline from a set of factory-made parts? Is it possible to repair an inflatable jumping pad with your own hands? Let's try to find answers together.

Why is it needed

Why buy this product? Of course, for children. Those who swam know that the child's exploratory enthusiasm, not directed in a certain direction and left to itself, leads at best to bruises and bruises. Dynamic games on the trampoline allow you to throw out excess energy with minimal damage to the child and the objects around him.

However, the benefits of a jumping platform are not limited to the simple neutralization of children. Hypodynamia - a disease of society associated with a modern lifestyle and an abundance of digital entertainment - affects not only adults. Today's children are quite difficult to tear away from cartoons on a tablet or new game on the computer.

Trampolines for children in the country help to solve the problem of low physical activity, and, as in the well-known joke, “voluntarily and with a song” - not a single sane child will ever refuse the opportunity to jump for several minutes to an unusually high height.

By the way: contrary to popular belief, the trampoline was not originally created as a children's entertainment.
The first example of a modern design was built in 1936 by George Nielsen, a champion acrobatic jumper, and was used for training.

What exactly is a trampoline useful for?

• It allows you to organize an exceptionally effective cardio workout without any coercion.. It is estimated that the body's oxygen consumption during jumping is almost double that of a treadmill.
• Each jump is short periods of overload and weightlessness. Overload stimulates the strength of the bone tissue; at the same time, unlike jumping on a hard surface, here we avoid dangerous overloads of the joints and intervertebral discs.
• Finally, jumping strengthens several major muscle groups.. Only hands are turned off from work; the jump involves the shins, quadriceps, buttocks, long back muscles, abs - in a word, everything that contributes to the creation of a strong muscle corset, and will further contribute to a healthy posture.

We repeat once again: the main advantage of the trampoline is that effective training is provided without any violence and coercion.
The child is eager to play; not only that: if parents show proper ingenuity, jumping can be a reward for completed homework or homework.

Classification

What is the basic design - the one invented in 1936?

It consists of:

1. Rigid metal frame - welded or prefabricated.
2. Cloths or wicker nets are the actual jumping grounds.
3. Radial springs providing platform tension.

To date, several, so to speak, subspecies have been formed.

Professional

They are used in the training of adult athletes and during competitions. Key features- an extremely strong frame, a braided platform of 5 mm or even thicker cord and high rigidity, allowing you to jump to a height of up to four meters.

It is curious: as a rule, such products are mounted permanently and, for safety reasons, are equipped with a foam-covered safety pit around them.

Gaming

Mini

A mini-trampoline is a platform with a diameter of 80-110 cm and a height of about 20 cm. A fence with such dimensions is unnecessary; however, the products are often equipped with a handle that you can hold while jumping.

Inflatable

An inflatable trampoline fundamentally differs from the structures listed above in that elasticity is provided not by springs, but by excess air pressure. It is held in place by a plasticized PVC sheath; to create pressure, the constant operation of the air compressor is required.

Useful: if your cottage is not electrified, this does not mean that this type of play equipment is not for you.
Buying or renting a diesel generator for a summer residence can completely solve the problem.

Inflatable products differ from others in that they are focused only on children. The air pressure that would have to be created in the shell in order for it to support the weight of an adult human, adjusted for inertia upon landing, would make such a design downright dangerous.

Security

From the point of view of safety, the instruction for choosing is quite unambiguous: a trampoline with a high (from 160 cm) net will not allow the child to fly out of the spring-loaded platform in any case.

Why are alternative designs bad?

• An inflatable product that bursts along the seam during the next jump will be blown away in one or two seconds and will ensure a hard landing on the ground under it.

In addition: it is better to keep products made of plasticized PVC warm in winter.
Insulated country houses from block containers or sip panels with winter heating - the exception rather than the rule in domestic dacha cooperatives; the winter season in an unheated structure is fraught with a decrease in the strength of the shell.

• A pen is good only as long as you hold on to it. It is difficult for a child of two or three years old to convincingly explain the concept of safety, and falling flat from a height of one and a half to two of their own height is already quite traumatic. (See also the article.)

Price

What, so to speak, is the price of the issue? To guide the reader, here are the retail prices for several trampolines, along with their brief description.

Assembly

How do I assemble a spring trampoline that comes in a parts package? Are there any tricks here? There are few of them.

The build order is:

1. We fasten the frame parts and fix them by inserting the legs.

1. Turn the frame over and lay the canvas in the middle.
2. We fasten it with springs, pulling them in pairs opposite each other. It is with this tension scheme that you will need a minimum of effort.
3. We close the springs with a pillow.

1. We mount the grid, roof, handle and other architectural extravagances.

Repair

Repair of an inflatable trampoline is carried out using a repair kit for inflatable boats, which is easy to buy in a sports or hunting store.

Glue - from the repair kit or one of the list below:

• "Vitur";
• "Desmokol";
• "Uranus".

The procedure is as follows:

1. A patch is cut out that covers the puncture or tear in all directions by at least 2-3 cm.
2. The surfaces to be glued are degreased with acetone.
3. Glue is applied to the patch, after which it is pressed against the defect, smoothed and ... removed.
   
4. After 15 minutes, the adhesive is applied again with an even distribution on both surfaces. After 5-7 minutes, when it becomes viscous, the patch is pressed against the defect and rolled with a roller. Complete drying takes about a day.

Conclusion

We hope that we were able to answer all the questions that interested the potential buyer of the trampoline. As always, the video in this article will provide the reader with additional information. Good luck!

It can be made by hand. At home, this is not at all difficult. All you need is a little time, effort, diligence, and everything will work out. Of course, it’s unlikely to make a chic children’s inflatable trampoline, but we promise a modest sports equipment for the entertainment of children.

Before explaining how to make a trampoline with your own hands, it should be said that there are different kinds trampolines. The 2 most common types are a children's trampoline with springs and an inflatable trampoline. The first type of trampoline is a metal support on which a trampoline mat with built-in springs is attached. The children's trampoline can be surrounded by a protective net, thanks to which the child will not fall out of the limits. An inflatable trampoline can be very bright and represent a whole palace, but it is better to buy an inflatable trampoline ready in the store.

Step-by-step instruction

So, how to assemble a children's trampoline at home with your own hands?

Introducing step by step instructions and a photo for it.

Step 1. You can buy trampoline blanks or make them yourself. Lay out all parts of the trampoline frame.

Step 2. We begin to connect the ends of the foot section of the trampoline.

Step 3. Fix the ends of the frame, as shown in the photo.

Step 4 Lay the frame on the ground with the leg holes facing up. Insert the W-shaped legs of the trampoline into the holes, gently pressing on them.

Step 5. Turn the frame over and put it on its feet.

Step 7. Next, we fix the mat with hooks. We do it evenly. Imagine that the checkmate is a clock. We fix it first in those holes that are proportional to the numbers 12,3,6,9 on the dial. Thus, the trampoline mat will lie evenly. Some trampolines have round holes so you can easily attach them.

Step 8 Attach the rest of the springs by doing this diagonally.

Another tip: the top of the trampoline legs can be sealed with foam rubber for softness and durability. The bottom part should be sealed with a piece of rubber so that the trampoline does not slip.

In the video, you can see in detail and clearly how to assemble a children's trampoline with your own hands.

What can be used as improvised materials?

If you do not have ready-made parts for assembling a trampoline, you can assemble it from improvised means. A metal hoop is suitable for the frame, in which it is necessary to make holes with a drill. A wooden block is taken and sawn into 8 pieces of 30 cm each. Holes are made in the bars 2 mm larger than the diameter of the hoop. The hoops are separated and threaded through the holes. The mat is made of tarpaulin, along the edges of which stronger loops are sewn. Durable rubber is threaded into the loops and wrapped around the hoop. A cover is sewn from a tarpaulin so that it can be put on a trampoline. Thus, the child's legs will not fall into the holes. This is one of the options for how you can make a trampoline with your own hands.

How to seal a hole?

It is unlikely that it will be possible to make an inflatable trampoline with your own hands: it is too difficult. If you had an inflatable trampoline, but it began to let air through, you can seal it yourself. To determine the place of air leakage, in a quiet place we pump the trampoline as much as possible and listen: the outgoing air will make itself felt with a small whistle. For gluing you will need:

1. sandpaper,
2. a patch from some old inflatable toy, if there is no spare in the trampoline kit, a degreaser (gasoline or alcohol),
3. glue of the "Moment" type.

With sandpaper, we clean the place of damage and the patch. We degrease the place of damage, carefully apply glue to the trampoline and to the patch. We wait 5-10 minutes, and then glue. In order for the glue to grab, we put polyethylene on this place, then polystyrene, and put a load on top. A few hours later, the patch is ready.

Thus, having faith in yourself, you can do a lot. Of course, you can buy a trampoline in a store or take it to the master in case of a breakdown, but if it is not possible to do this, do not despair: you can make an excellent trampoline with your own hands.

However, this does not mean that the number of “Kulibins” has decreased. With due attention to detail and understanding of the principle of operation, it is possible to make a sports equipment more or less suitable for entertainment, for example, a trampoline. But we warn you that an untested and uncertified design can be a real health hazard! Therefore, you should not undertake experiments if you do not have at least an approximate idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhow to reduce injury risk. If you still want to experiment, we offer you several variations of designs.

Perhaps everyone is familiar with such a primitive way to have fun, like trampolining in the form of an old bed with a grid. This design is quite reliable, but has many sharp corners and solid jumpers. To safely jump on it, you need to remove all corners, cover the frame with dense but soft material and sew a cover that would cover all dangerous places.

Another option is to dig a frame with a net into the ground so that the heaviest jumper does not reach the bottom of the pit. The edges are best closed with mats.

More technological, labor-intensive and interesting option- This is a trampoline made of metal hoops. You will need two hoops, which must be placed one above the other by connecting them with metal or wooden legs. Next, a special dense fabric is purchased, for example, a tarpaulin. The edges are processed, to protect against tearing, and along the perimeter, cut to the size of the hoops, the circle is sewn on loops. You can fix the resulting canvas to the hoops using a thick rubber band. You also need a cover around the perimeter of the structure and a lining in the form of dense foam rubber.

If there are no hoops, then a large car tire will fit under the design of the canvas from the previous “recipe”. Usually such designs are suitable only for the smallest jumpers.

Certainly the best and safest option extreme having fun jumping is buying a certified product. The cost of some models is quite affordable, on average, a trampoline will cost 3-35 thousand rubles.

If you just want to forget everyday problems from time to time and plunge into the world of extreme sports, then we are in specialized halls. We wait!

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. Ears are made of wire on the lower tips of the levers for fastening shock absorber 4 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 1300x250 mm pine board, 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 3-4 m long. 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 kids is easy enough to self-manufacturing- there would be space for its installation. The frame (1.4x1.4 m) is made of water pipes. 72 home-made springs from four shoulder expanders are strengthened around the perimeter. In the middle, a tarpaulin 100x100 cm 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 are exempt from foreign objects 1.5~2 meter area.
