Welcome to a deep dive into the world of outdoor trampolines, price points, and benefits as we drop the curtain on the new signature series by Skywalker Trampolines.
First off, do we have any parents reading this? If so, good, and us too! You’re just the parents we’ve been looking to talk to. So now that it’s just a couple of parents swapping horror stories, let’s talk about raising kids in today’s world. Excessive screen-time is a problem, childcare’s too expensive, we work too much, the house is a mess, and so on and so forth. At the same time parent shaming isn’t cool either. We’re parents, of course we’re exhausted, overworked, and underappreciated. The constant noise from podcasts, stat reports and even advice from pop-pop and gam-gam isn’t always wanted or warranted.
So let’s face it, we’re flawed but we’ve got this! Back to those pesky problems our kids and families are facing (Psst! That’s where we can help). Trust in us as the local parents of a trampoline company to lay out the full range of options you have when it comes to healthy, outdoor play. Trampolines do wonders for a child’s (and adults’) development. Things like weight loss, motor skills, and happiness (give me some of that! ✋). Whether it’s about price, safety, or assembly, this blog will cover the market from end-to-end with no shame. And to help us do that, we’ll roll out our gameplan using the Classic, Signature, Epic, and Premium series of Skywalker Trampolines.
THE CLASSIC SERIES ($150 - $500)
Aww the trusty veterans and the original offering of Skywalker Trampolines between the $150 to $550 price range. This covers your basic trampoline play needs without breaking the bank or skimping on safety. In all honesty, what you get for the cost is outstanding. Sure, you can find cheaper alternatives, but you give up structural integrity and quality by not choosing Skywalker Trampolines. This series offers four possible shapes including, round, square, rectangle, and oval. All those shapes affect the bounce quality/height so check on the bounce chart below. The sizing also has a wide range, spanning from an 8ft round to a 17ft oval (You’ve got options!). The bread and butter of what sets any Skywalker Trampoline apart no matter what series, is our patented no-gap enclosure net. What does that mean? It means protection from some of the most common trampoline-related injuries – pinching fingers and landing on the springs. Instead of dealing with that horror show, our jump mats are threaded through buttonholes in the enclosure net that block fingers, toes, and bodies from ever reaching the springs.
As for the warranty, the classic series features a limited 3-year warranty on the frame and 1 year warranty on all other goods. For those households that need it, this series lets you bounce on a budget. If you’re looking for longer warranties, robust load capacities, and extra protection against the elements, then read on about our more advanced trampoline series (You’re going to love it!).
THE SIGNATURE SERIES ($525 - $800)
Consider this the sweet spot for those not made of money but also for those parents that don’t want to settle for the cheapest trampoline.
First off, the signature series looks a bit different, considering our latest rebrand while pairing a neutral black with a punch of our teal brand color (Sexy! 😍). The signature series frame is made with the same galvanized steel construction as our classic series but now with a thicker gauge of steel and the addition of a powder-coated finish on the legs. That’s now two layers of protection against the elements where the trampoline meets the ground. And to top it all off, the signature series enclosure poles are fitted with XPE foam, which adds to its water and degradation resistance. Long story short, the foam quality is much higher and will last longer compared to the standard foam offered by cheaper trampolines. The signature series is literally all that and a bag since a storage bag comes included. Sorry… we ate the chips 🤷♀️
By far the best value of the signature series is the warranty that backs it all up. Instead of an industry standard 3-year warranty on the frame, the signature series boasts a 7-year limited warranty on the frame which covers most of those child-rearing years. That’s not all though, the signature series also covers the enclosure poles, jump mat, and springs for three years and all other materials for a single year.
The signature series comes in both the round and rectangle shape. However, this look is bound to spread like denim in 90's so keep your eye on the horizon for new releases within the signature line.
THE EPIC SERIES [$600 - $1,000]
The epic series made its way into the Skywalker Trampolines lineup in 2021 as a series designed to fill the void between budget-friendly trampoline and premium trampoline price points. The main difference that’s easy to spot is the implementation of a flex-rod enclosure system versus the steel enclosure solution offered by the classic and signature series enclosures.
The value not so easily seen by the naked eye were the adjustments made to the epic series load capacity. By adding 12 additional springs to the 14ft and 16ft epic models, it boosted the load capacity from 800lbs to a whopping 1,600lbs. The epic series is also backed by a 10-year limited warranty on the frame, a 3-year warranty on the jump mat, enclosure poles, and springs with all other goods covered under a 1-year warranty. And the cherry on top, the epic series sports a neutral black + gray look with a powder-coat finish on the legs. 🤘 Rock on!
Pardon our dust as our premium lineup of trampolines is undergoing a revamp as well. Other than adding a lifetime warranty on the frame, the premium line of Skywalker Trampolines is meant for those that dare to soar (maybe all the way to the Olympics 🎖) to the highest of heights. Our premium selection includes the olympic-sized 17ft x 10ft rectangle trampoline, the 15ft, and 16ft square models. This tier of trampolining is all about training and performance, giving your aspiring gymnast, cheerleader, or wakeboarder the best bounce to achieve their dreams. More expansions and new releases to come on the premium front but the sky’s the limit!
Whoa… that was a lot. If you’ve made it this far then imagine us sprinkling awesome points overhead. For real, we’re sending all the good vibes 🤗. At least now you know we’re passionate about what we do and that no matter the parenting style or need you have, we’ve got an outdoor play solution that’s a perfect fit.
