Note: warning item #23]. Touching the enclosure in any way will only decrease the life of the enclosure and increase risks to trampoline users. *** Thanks for burying this tidbit of information within the 2-pages of product warnings. --- ***Caution: Do not step or jump directly on the frame pad...Prolonged exposure to the sun, especially ultraviolet rays will shorten the life of the enclosure fabric. For longer fabric life, store the enclosure when it is not being used.*** Question 1:  Didn't they invent UV treatments for cloth materials in 1992? Question 2: How do you get on or off the trampoline without stepping on the frame pad? --- ***Warning: Do not touch or rebound off the safety enclosure. The included safety enclosure is not designed to protect against injury.*** Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!  Why do you even call it a SAFETY enclosure?!?! ---       Having a trampoline in your backyard is a great way to enjoy the great weather in Idaho.  If you own a trampoline, please review the manual for your trampoline before you use it.  Also, if you are thinking about buying a trampoline this year, read the manufacturers warning before you purchase.  Finally, if you want to see the safest trampolines in the world, we recommend you visit our store and try the [Vuly trampoline](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/trampolines-vuly) or the [Springfree trampoline](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/trampolines-springfree) them for yourself!  The manufacturers redesigned the trampoline to eliminate the three sources of trampoline injury. ---   Topics: [vuly](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/vuly), [trampoline](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/trampoline), [SpringFree](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/springfree) ### Posts by Topic - [Idaho (39)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/idaho) - [Idaho Outdoor Solutions (36)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/idaho-outdoor-solutions) - [Playsets (22)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/playsets) - [Backyard Adventures (20)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/backyard-adventures) - [Play Grounds (17)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/play-grounds) - [Sale (13)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/sale) - [trampoline (12)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/trampoline) - [The Beast (9)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/the-beast) - [Off-Road (8)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/off-road) - [home trampoline (8)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/home-trampoline) - [Old Hickory Sheds (7)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/old-hickory-sheds) - [Solar (7)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/solar) - [Solar Power (7)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/solar-power) - [SpringFree (7)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/springfree) - [vuly (7)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/vuly) - [treehouse playsets (6)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/treehouse-playsets) - [Ultraskiff (5)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/ultraskiff) - [Outdoor Transportation (4)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/outdoor-transportation) - [play structures (4)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/play-structures) - [Greenhouse (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/greenhouse) - [Metal Buildings (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/metal-buildings) - [Street-Legal (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/street-legal) - [Wiseway Pellet Stove (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/wiseway-pellet-stove) - [cars (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/cars) - [heating (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/heating) - [pellet stove (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/pellet-stove) - [trucks (3)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/trucks) - [Fishing (2)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/fishing) - [TGOMA (2)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/tgoma) - [Ultraskif (2)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/ultraskif) - [vuly trampoline (2)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/vuly-trampoline) - [weathertech (2)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/weathertech) - [CJ Strike (1)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/cj-strike) - [Truck Storage (1)](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/topic/truck-storage) [see all](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/blog/whats-in-that-trampoline-manual#) ### Recent Posts ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Site Map ### Idaho Outdoor Solutions  510 Airbase Road   Mountain Home ID 83647   (208) 580-9386 [About Us](https://www.idahooutdoorsolutions.com/about) ### Recent Blog Posts © 2015 Backyard Adventures Idaho, a division of HVH Enterprises.
