Neoformers Trampoline Sprinkler

Neoformers Trampoline Sprinkler

Our two kids have always loved jumping on the trampoline, but they spend even more time on it in the summer now that we have the Neoformers trampoline sprinkler. A kid is only going to jump on a trampoline for so long on a really hot summer day, but add the cooling effect of dozens of streams and mists of water and you can comfortably stay outside and play much longer with less chance of heat injury. The sprinkler also drastically reduces the temperature of the surface of the trampoline jumping mat itself, as large black surfaces like these get quite hot in direct sun. The water makes the mat a bit slippery, but this just adds to the fun and your kids will love the added challenge of staying on their feet.

This setup comes with 39 feet of sprinkler hose. Our trampoline is 12 feet in diameter, so with the circumference just under 38 feet, we overlapped the last foot of hose and it works great.

It took less than 20 minutes to install this from start to finish. It’s certainly possible to install it by yourself, but it will be a lot easier if you have someone who can hold up the rest of the sprinkler hose as you zip tie it to the net since you’re going to be working with your hands stretched out above your head.

There are two sizes (8″ and 12″) of zip ties included. Use whichever one fits better based on the style of enclosure you have and trim off most of the excess. The holes for the water are only on one side of the hose, so make sure these are oriented inward and not out. You don’t want to zip tie the hose too tightly to the net, as you need to leave room for the hose to expand when it fills with water.

You can leave the sprinkler installed when you’re not using it. The nicest thing about this is that you don’t have to do anything to set it up each time your kids want to use it — simply turn on the hose.

The sprinkler hose is installed on the inside and the hose and trampoline enclosure are both black, so you can’t even really see it when it’s turned off except for the garden hose leading up to the top of the net. We plan on keeping it up over the winter. The UV rays from the sun in the summertime most likely do more to degrade the plastic than the cold. In any case, I can’t imagine that we wouldn’t get at least a couple of years out of it.
