I want to build a small trampoline to help my grandma exercise her feet. I want the 'jumpy' part to be no more than 12×18 inches, that's how I would size it for myself and I've yet to measure her feet but the size isn't important what I want to know as a heavily medicated brainlet is what tools and materials I need and how do I work them and who else makes trampolines and whatever. This trampoline is not for jumping it's just for pushing your feet into while you sit, I think it would make her calves stronger. Also it has to be made out of wood I'm not a welder. Thanks.
>>2965821check out upholstery suspension systems, i upgraded some wooden chairs by knocking out the center and putting in springs. pushing your feet against weight is often down with a variable weight system so you do not get bored.

>>2965821>to help my grandmayou put granny on a trampoline you are going to help into intensive care then a wheel chair. All she needs to do is regular and front calf exercises and walking up and down the stairs. Take her to the beach or where there is some sand to air her out and get some practice walking on sand, but be with her to help keep her from falling.
>>2965864Thank you>>2965969This is giving me ideas, thank you.>>2966099You didn't read the full post lol. We're many miles from a beach and she doesn't have stairs in her apartment. Maybe in summer though, good idea.
>>2966123>she doesn't have stairs in her apartment.I know this sounds crazy, but take her somewhere where there are stairs, you know like the local mall where women love to walk and shop. Don't ignore the front and regular calf rasies - all you need is 2x4 to stand on with some shoes and a door way to hold for support. Feet, calves, legs are the foundation for stability. She can do partial squats holding on to door way for support. Go and do it with her, but the trampoline for an old person is certain disaster, espcially if she was not athletic as a young girl.
