most are imported entirely or
partially from China
we believe US steel is
superior to steel from China |

generally attached with U-bolts |
our foam poles have been out there in the sun for over 4 years and have not weakened - they have a protective coating over the extruded foam providing extra security |
|
generally have foam poles that deteriorate over time - some now offer sleeves made of outdoor grade PVC to slide over foam |
|
poor quality foam poles - crumble after time in sun |
our unique cage is sewn directly to the mat for absolute safety - tight weave - fingers, buttons, etc cannot get caught in the mesh causing injuries.
Extremely strong durable mesh - same fiber as in jumping mat - UV protected |
|
usually fish net design
when my children were small they banned playpens with a fish net mesh!! Too much opportunity to climb up cage or catch fingers, buttons, etc possibly causing injuries
Stands up to over 100 impacts |
|
usually light-weight shade cloth type material - does not stand up to many impacts - some rated as low as 4 impacts! |
we have 8 1/2" springs securing our cage to the poles - when a jumper impacts cage, the springs stretch to lessen the impact on the cage material - 1 yr complete & 4 yr pro-rated plus we can sew a new cage to your existing mat |
|
has strap at top securing cage to poles - doesn't give at all putting stress on cage material
has straps tying bottom of cage to v-rings at intervals - small children can slip arm or leg between cage & mat |
|
typically cheap elastic loops held up by the thin foam poles |
no straps to wear out |
|
top strap & bottom strap tend to deteriorate - must be replaced every 2 years - must check each year for wear |
|
Back To The Top
