How to Ensure the Safety of Your Trampoline with the Right Springs

Trampolines are a great way to get exercise and have fun, but they require proper maintenance to keep them safe and enjoyable. One of the most important parts of a trampoline is the springs. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at trampoline springs and what you need to know to keep your trampoline safe and in good condition.

First, it’s important to understand that not all trampoline springs are created equal. Different trampoline models require different types and sizes of springs. When it’s time to replace your trampoline springs, it’s best to buy them directly from the manufacturer to ensure that you have the right product. If you do shop around, make sure that you know that the trampoline frame is strong enough to accept the tension of a different type of spring. If the frame is not strong enough against the spring tension, the frame may collapse inward, causing injury. Always do research before purchasing to ensure that you have the right product.

It’s also important to know when to replace your trampoline springs. Springs only need to be replaced when they lose the tension that they were made with. For example, a 10” spring has 39 lbs. of tension to the spring. When the spring is stretched to 14” to 15” for optimum bounce, the tension should measure 38 to 40 lbs. At 14” to 15″, if the tension measures above or below 38 to 40 lbs., then it’s time to replace the springs. This can also be the case when the spring has been overstretched.

Installing trampoline springs can be a bit tricky, but it’s essential to do it correctly to ensure that the trampoline is safe and performs well. When installing trampoline springs on a trampoline, it’s best to have two people complete the installation. Put one spring on each of the four corners so that the mat is suspended. This way one person can stand on one side of the trampoline and the other across from them. Then you can install one spring at a time. This helps so that the trampoline evenly takes the tensions. It also helps the installer’s arms, as they wouldn’t have to work as hard. Using the spring tool shown below helps as well. By using the tool, you can avoid the skin being pinched if the hole is missed the first time.

In conclusion, trampoline springs are an essential component of any trampoline. By understanding the different types and sizes of springs, knowing when to replace them, and installing them correctly, you can ensure that your trampoline is safe and performs well for years to come.
