Buying a trampoline for your family is one of the best ways to provide fun and exercise to both young kids and adults for many years to come. However, the more you use your trampoline, the more you wear out and damage some important parts: mats can get torn or lose their elasticity with frequent use; springs can get rusty as they get exposed to different weather conditions; and safety net enclosures can get torn from catching trampoline users. To prevent purchase of faulty or incorrect replacements, Premier Trampolines, Australia’s leading supplier of trampoline replacement parts online, offers the following tips for buying replacement mats, springs and net enclosures:
Measure your trampoline mat properly. Incorrect measurements will render your newly-purchased mat unusable, and this will force you to spend more time and effort to exchange them for the correct mat. As such, make sure to get the correct measurements the first time around. To do this, measure the diameter of your trampoline; take several measurements in different locations to ensure accuracy. Also make sure that your measuring tape runs through the centre of the mat as this is where the diameter also runs through.
Consider the material used for your mats and safety pads. Cheap mats and safety pads may be tempting to buy, but do remember that their cheap price comes at the expense of quality. Inexpensive brands may be made out of polyethylene, which is not tough enough to stand up to heavy jumping forces and extreme weather. Pricier mats and safety pads, on the other hand, are usually constructed out of durable PVC. It’s best to spend a little extra on trampoline parts and maintain safety instead of risking the health of users to save money.
Count the number of springs and measure them correctly. Different trampolines may use different numbers of springs. As such, make sure to count the number of springs on your current model. When measuring the springs, get the length of the entire spring — don’t forget to include the hooked ends in your measurements. Also remove springs from the trampoline before measuring them as any bending or stretching will reduce accuracy of your measurements.
Measure the net enclosures. Just like with mats and safety pads, an incorrectly-measured net will be unusable. Make sure to get the correct measurements and avoid simply guessing. In addition to measuring the net, also count the number of poles on which the net will be inserted. Check for special features, such as a triple weave structure or the use of durable terylene, instead of cheaper net materials.
When any part of your trampoline incurs damage, the only thing you can do to ensure safe and continuous use of your trampoline is to replace it. For more tips on purchase, safety and proper set up, owners can also watch videos from trusted trampoline experts and read instructional guides from manufacturers.
