Fall Trampoline Maintenance: Springfree Southlake

Who doesn’t love bouncing the day away on a trampoline with your kiddos? While spring and summer are ideal seasons for trampoline fun, the fall and winter can get a little chilly. These upcoming seasons can also be a little harsh on a trampoline if it isn’t properly taken care of. That’s why today, Springfree Southlake is sharing a few trampoline tips about fall trampoline maintenance.

Check for Any Damages

First and foremost, after a long summer of play, you’ll want to make sure to inspect your trampoline to make sure there aren’t any damages that should be addressed. Check to make sure there aren’t any holes in the FlexiNet enclosure or the SoftEdge mat. Make sure to also thoroughly look at the frame to catch any possible rust spots and inspect the mat rods to make sure there aren’t any that are cracking or in danger of snapping.

Prevent Debris from Gathering on Trampoline

There are a few options for how you can prevent a lot of debris from collecting on the top of your trampoline. When the leaves start to fall, you can simply sweep off all the leaves, or you could get an all-weather cover from Springfree Southlake. While in Texas, it’s rare for us to get immense amounts of snow, but it’s better to be safe than sorry and get the cover, which can help protect the mat from being damaged by the weather.

If You Plan on Using it During Fall/ Winter

Now, if you plan on still using your trampoline during these upcoming seasons, you’ll want to make sure that it stays free of debris and that the enclosure is still in good working order.

If you don’t have a trampoline, then you’re really missing out! Perfect for playing with the whole family, Springfree Trampoline at the Shops of Southlake has revolutionary trampolines that are much safer than the other trampolines that use unsafe springs and weaker bounce mats.

Yogurtland Southlake: Best Frozen Yogurt Mixes

Okay, let’s be real for a second, who doesn’t love frozen yogurt!? Not only is it just as sweet as regular ice cream, but it’s also lighter, healthier and more refreshing! (Though we also love ice cream.) Just like ice cream, frozen yogurt is good by itself, but combining flavors is the only way to truly experience Yogurtland Southlake at the Shops of Southlake. Here are the frozen yogurt combinations that we think are the best.

Fresh Strawberry & Dutch Chocolate
Everyone loves chocolate covered strawberries! Now what if you could get that same great flavor but in frozen yogurt?

As if this wouldn’t be indulgent enough, you can also use some great toppings to bring it over the top.

Salted Caramel Pecan & Cheesecake
Cheesecake frozen yogurt is pretty tasty, but it sometimes can lack in flavor. However, when you mix it with the Salted Caramel Pecan frozen yogurt, then your cheesecake flavors are transformed and delightfully partner up with the buttery rich caramel flavor. There will also be the excellent little hint of salt and real pecans, which will have your mouth-watering at just the thought of this amazing frozen yogurt combo. It’ll be so good you may not even want any toppings!

Toasted Coconut & Iced Coffee
Have you ever had your coffee with coconut milk? If so, then imagine that but a richer, nuttier flavor! Mixing Yogurtland Southlake’s Toasted Coconut yogurt with their Iced Coffee yogurt will surely be delicious.

With all the different flavors of frozen yogurt at Yogurtland Southlake, every guest has the ability to make their own unique frozen yogurt and take it a step further with a wide array of great toppings.
