Trampoline Park Manufacturer Guide: Everything Buyers Need To Know Before Investing

Introduction

Many owners who want to open trampoline gyms fall into traps.Many of them just watch short videos and see that there are many people in other stores.When their minds get hot,they rent storefronts and randomly find small workshops to order equipment.When the fire department comes to inspect,they discover a bunch of problems that cannot be rectified.The floor height is not enough,the sponge burns easily, the steel frame is thin enough to stand up and sway,and tens of thousands of yuan are directly thrown into the rectification once.Even worse,the early rent and decoration are all in vain,and the project is directly put on hold.Most of the relevant articles that can be found online are copied over and over again,only saying that this industry is easy to make money.Few people explain the practical details of site inspection, area division, equipment procurement,on-site installation,and long-term maintenance from the real perspective of our factory’s connection with customers.My writing is based on the real experiences I have accumulated from receiving hundreds of entrepreneurs in my daily life,without those vague industry jargon.Following the process of opening a store,I casually chat about all the things to pay attention to,which can help those who plan to enter the industry avoid some detours and avoid the problems that can directly drag down their business in the early planning stage.

What Is an Indoor Trampoline Park?

Definition

Many people who have not been in this industry may mix the small trampoline used for home fitness with commercial venue equipment,but in fact,the two cannot be compared together. Home use models are suitable for occasional single person activities,but their load-bearing and protective standards do not meet the requirements for opening a store.Indoor trampoline park is a set of amusement facilities specifically designed for opening a shop.The core is a thick steel frame trampoline,equipped with cushioning sponge,protective soft bags,and various jumping platform game props,enclosing an independent indoor play area.The customers who come to play are all buying tickets and flowing into the store,with a wide age range.From three-year-old children to office workers who come to team building in their thirties or forties,they can all play. We can open a separate parent-child store,or operate it together with shopping malls,scenic spots,and children’s physical training institutions.As long as we maintain it well,we can operate it stably all year round.

Operating Principle

The entire equipment does not have electric motors or transmission devices,which consume electricity,and relies solely on elastic structures to achieve bouncing.When tourists jump down, the surface PVC pad first buffers the impact force,the middle spring or silent elastic band provides rebound force,and the bottom thick steel frame distributes the overall weight.The area around the venue and under the jumping tower will be covered with high-density sponge,which can reduce the occurrence of bumps and abrasions in case of jumping mistakes and falls.Usually, when opening a store,only lighting,monitoring,and disinfection machines consume electricity. Compared to projects like video game arcades and secret rooms,the monthly electricity bill is almost the same,which many investors don’t think much about in the early stages.

Main Features and Investment Advantages

Being able to accommodate different types of guests is the most tangible benefit of a trampoline gym.Ordinary Naughty Burger is mainly visited by parents with children,and the customer flow structure is very single.The trampoline shop will be crowded with students after school,and on weekends,it will be crowded with families with children.On weekdays,it can also accept corporate team building.It has a stable customer base every day and will not be empty for a long time. A trampoline area of the same size can accommodate significantly more tourists than a traditional amusement park,and the store can achieve a higher revenue limit.The channels for making money are not just tickets,but also the sale of anti slip socks,one-on-one trampoline teaching, and children’s birthday private bookings.These additional services can all increase the consumption amount of individual customers.The main body of the equipment’s steel frame can last for more than ten years,all of which are modular splicing.If you want to expand or modify the play area in the later stage,there is no need for large-scale demolition and renovation;Shop assistants do not need to take complex professional certificates,they can simply learn safety precautions in a few days and start working.The threshold for opening a branch to replicate the model is not high.

Typical Application Scenarios

The idle shops on the lower floors of the shopping mall are the places where the most shops are opened.The mall itself has a mobile customer flow,and surrounding restaurants and clothing stores can also bring customers to each other;The community street side small shop does not need to rent a large area,mainly doing business for residents within three kilometers of the surrounding area,relying on repeat visits from old customers to maintain income;The indoor facilities of the scenic area are mainly designed to retain tourists who were originally planning to leave during rainy days when outdoor amusement projects cannot operate;The children’s fitness center will install a small trampoline to enrich the daily exercise curriculum;A large independent venue of over a thousand square meters is specifically designed for team building projects,with ample space to accommodate multiple extreme play events.

Potential Operational Disadvantages

The inherent conditions of the site itself cannot be renovated in the later stage, and there is basically no remedy for any non-compliance with the standards of floor height and load-bearing capacity. Throughout the entire operation of the store,certified safety personnel must be on duty, and labor expenses are a fixed monthly cost that cannot be easily reduced.Jumping itself has the possibility of collision,even if all the protective sponges are equipped,there may still be occasional complaints of minor scratches from customers.The store should keep a first aid kit on hand,and customers should explain the risks of playing before entering.Bouncing pads and elastic bands are consumables that need to be replaced in batches within two to three years,which cannot save maintenance expenses.

Types of Trampoline Park Functional Zones

Freestyle Trampoline Zone

The largest basic area in the entire venue,with a continuous bouncing surface and no additional game props,is suitable for guests with zero foundation to jump freely.Tourists are willing to stay for a long time,so when planning the venue,it is usually placed in the middle of the store as the center point of all pedestrian flow.

Dodgeball Trampoline Area

The featured section focuses on multiplayer interactive games,paired with inflatable dodgeballs and high-altitude dunks,allowing for two gameplay modes:battles and trampoline shooting. Most of the people who come to play are students and young team building enthusiasts,with a strong sense of interaction.It is easy to create materials suitable for posting short videos,which can be considered as a check-in area for the store to attract new customers.

Foam Pit & Jump Tower Zone

Areas that lean towards extreme gameplay,with layered jumping platforms and high-density sponge buffer pools, can perform high difficulty actions such as diving jumps and backflips.The safety control requirements are higher,and it is necessary to arrange separate staff to monitor. The area occupied is relatively large,so small shops can lower the height of the jumping platform to save space.

Kids Mini Trampoline Zone

The low elasticity area separated separately has a very small bounce amplitude control,with a high soft surround around the periphery,specially designed for children aged 3 to 8.Completely separated from the adult trampoline area to prevent older children from colliding with children, it is an essential part of attracting parent-child families to the store,and small and medium-sized stores cannot be omitted.

5 Step Guide to Trampoline Park Selection

Step 1: Confirm ceiling height and usable floor space

The floor height is a hard threshold that cannot be avoided in site selection,and later installation of ceilings or any equipment cannot make up for the problem of insufficient floor height.The load-bearing data of the floor slab must be obtained from the property management with the original building drawings.The load-bearing capacity of the old shop floor slab is insufficient,and long-term operation may pose safety hazards.When measuring,the net floor height should be calculated by subtracting the vertical space occupied by fire pipes,ventilation equipment,and suspended ceilings;The total rental area does not equal the actual playable area.Space should be reserved for the front desk,changing room,storage area,and disinfection waiting area,and the actual usable space size should be calculated separately.

Step 2: Plan visitor groups and zone layout scheme

First, determine what kind of customers the store mainly serves, and then adjust the size of each area in reverse.A store specializing in community activities for parents with children,with a focus on planning mini trampolines for children;For stores with a large number of young people in the business district, increase the push ball competition area;Venues specialized in group building business, expand the foam tower jumping area.The route of walking inside the store should avoid crowd crossing and collision.The children’s area should have a separate entrance,and the tower jumping area should be divided into a dedicated waiting area.During peak hours,traffic should be diverted to reduce the risk of collision injuries.

Step 3: Confirm budget and equipment configuration

The total investment for opening a store can be simply divided into four parts:equipment procurement,site decoration,fire protection renovation,and backup working capital.It is best not to spend more than 60% of the total investment on equipment procurement,and leave an extra amount of funds to cope with possible renovation needs in the later stage.Novice entrepreneurs with limited budgets can first equip themselves with two essential sections:free trampoline and children’s mini.After opening a store in the competitive and tower jumping areas,their business will stabilize before adding new ones.Spending money in batches can alleviate the initial financial pressure.

Step 4: Check raw material safety standards

Focus on three core materials:flame retardant grade of bouncing pad fabric,environmentally friendly high-density standard of cushioning sponge,and rust and corrosion prevention process of steel frame.Many low-priced devices on the market use recycled sponges and non flame retardant fabrics,which cannot pass fire and market supervision inspections.Stores will be ordered to close for rectification.Be sure to request the original paper material testing documents from the manufacturer.Fuzzy electronic reports are not counted.If possible,go directly to the factory’s raw material warehouse to have a look.New raw materials and recycled waste can be distinguished at a glance.

Step 5: Confirm design,production and delivery cycle

The design of a standard venue can be completed in three to five days,while the layout and rendering design of a customized themed store takes seven to fifteen days.The production cycle will be affected by order scheduling and raw material inventory.Summer and the end of the year are peak seasons for opening stores,and the factory’s order saturation period will be delayed. Investors need to coordinate in advance and arrange site decoration and equipment entry time synchronously.It is best to include a delivery delay compensation clause in the procurement contract to prevent manufacturers from delaying their schedules and missing out on peak customer traffic during holidays.

Installing a Trampoline Park

Before the equipment enters the site,all site hardware installation,ground leveling,and fire sprinkler renovation must be completed.The elevator and entrance passage dimensions must be measured in advance. Large steel frame modules cannot be disassembled,and narrow passages will incur additional cutting costs. The installation sequence is basically fixed,first the steel frame is erected,then the elastic structure is paved,the flexible enclosure is fixed,and finally the foam supporting area is closed.The manufacturer will arrange technical personnel to provide full guidance and store workers to cooperate in assembly.A 100 square meter standard site can be fully assembled and debugged in three to five days to complete.After all installations are completed,load tests should be conducted in each area to check whether the steel frame connection parts are firm,seal all soft package gaps,and eliminate the hidden dangers of pinch and collision.Only after passing the test can the trial operation be carried out.

Maintenance Tips for Trampoline Park Equipment

Before opening the door every day, it is necessary to conduct a complete inspection, focusing on the three areas where the bouncing pad is damaged,the spring is detached, and the soft package is prone to wear and tear. If there is a small damage,it should be repaired immediately.Don’t wait for the damage to expand and cause a safety accident.Tighten all connecting bolts of the steel frame every week,spray anti rust lubricating oil on the metal joints,and do more frequent anti rust maintenance in the damp environment of underground shops.Regular inventory of worn-out accessories, centralized bulk procurement of sponge strips,bouncing pads,and elastic bands,can lower the replenishment unit price.Wipe the surface of the bouncing pad with a neutral disinfectant after closing the store every day.Sweat stains can accelerate fabric aging over time; The foam pit shall regularly sort sundries and clean small sharp foreign matters to avoid scratching the customer’s skin.
