Just like in our post on trampoline quality it’s about comparing apples to apples! If you jump on a poorly manufactured trampoline you will encounter problems, period.
To ease your mind, here are some answers to some Frequently Asked Questions … these ones pertaining to our mats.
Super Fun Trampoline jumping mats are made from Permatron® non-calendared fabric. What is this?
“Permatron® is the highest quality trampoline fabric available. It is a woven fabric made from polypropylene and carbon, giving it excellent UV protection and resistance to mildew and water. The fibres are thermally interlocked to provide a smoother surface that can withstand constant flexing and stress. It does not stretch but rather, cushions joints while provide a firm and stable surface that always returns to its flat position. Due to its durability and strength, Permatron® trampoline fabric performs in the harshest environmental conditions, even serving as barriers during hurricanes. It is manufactured in an ISO-certified facility, guaranteeing the highest quality fabric on the market.
Regarding calendared vs. non-calendared mesh, in the last stage of production, calendared mesh is run through two hot rollers which melts the materials and gives it a very smooth and glossy appearance. Non-calendared mesh skips this step. At Super Fun Trampolines, we believe that non-calendared mess is the safer option as it provides more traction, particularly if the mat is wet.”
Can you tell me more about how your mats are constructed?
“Super Fun Trampolines uses high quality materials in all aspects of mat construction. We use a UV resistant polyester thread for long lasting strength in all stitching. We have a total of 10 rows of stitching around the circumference of the trampoline. We have two layers of 2” solution dyed (holds color longer) strapping that is sewn on the top and bottom of the outer edge. This prevents fraying and strengthens the mat considerably. The V-rings or triangles are much thicker than the standard. This prevents them from pulling apart when considerable weight is applied. The V-rings are attached to the trampoline bed with 2” seat belt material which is designed for prolonged use and is very UV resistant.”
