Hey Island gal, I'm always glad to have you watch and comment. Now that my balcony is super hot I am deciding to make more DIY videos out there. I don't know why I didn't make more balcony videos in the fall and winter. Timing is everything.😀
I really want to do this. But I want to do some hard core jumping. Like what I've seen in videos. What could I use to make it more sturdy? A different piping?
Bathroom grab bars aren’t expensive. Screwing one into a door frame or a wall stud would be strong enough to dangle from. I’ve been thinking about this too Robb. Some days my gyro is off. Even though there may be a certain amount of “street cred” associated with being a seventy + year old geezer that cracked his coconut and died while jumping on his trampoline, I would prefer not to. What about something that tri folds? Like a room screen. Something that could support your weight and stow away when not in use . Or put to other use? I have a couple of favorite walking sticks that I use like ski poles .😁 “Nothing like a good piece of hickory.”
I've had a rebounder for 45 years and it cost a whopping $60.00 then. It is bigger than the one Robb has but stores on edge nicely in a closet. It really got a lot of use when kids were little as it knocked any hyper out of them in no time. I'm still OK without building a support bar, and can put it beside the treadmill that does have sturdy bars on both sides when I if I need to. I can be a klutz when it comes to stairs and can even trip on a pebble, so am always aware of every step. I've fallen on my backside a few times now, fortunately there is enough padding there, so no damage.
Hey chops, this was really not for me but for people who wanted to have a do-it-yourself stability bar. I just do a health bounce so I can move the rebounder close to the bookcase if I need to hold onto something. Sometimes I get dizzy but the doctor doesn't know why. In the past it was usually water in my ears. Another medical adventure.😀
I think 80% of the rebounders they sell are in people's closets. Just like 80% of the exercise bicycles are used to hold clothes. If you bought yours 45 years ago. I bet it has springs. Those things last forever.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Yes, mine does have springs, and I am surprised it hasn't rotted away in all this time. You are 'misinformed' about exercise bicycles being good for holding clothes. It is much more efficient using the bars on each side of treadmills for that since they are padded and therefore material does not get that bendy look to it. It is great for holding the extra quilt in the summer because I only use the treadmill in the winter when the weather is nasty (September to end of April).
Apparently I need a Stability Bar for my lawn chair. Last night i had one too many cats trying to claw they're way into my lap. I leaned back and fell over.
Hey Oscar, I have a do-it-yourself sabiki rod that I could have cannibalized the PVC but I decided to go to Home Depot. This morning I ended up going to two Home Depot's and a Lowe's to find the PVC I needed. The prices are up.
