Trampoline springs connect the mat to the frame. This allows the trampoline to flex and return that mat to its position while in use. Constant use and aging cause springs to wear down. Eventually the spring breaks, which is dangerous because the mat shifts off balance, potentially throwing users off the mat. To ensure your trampoline is safe, you should replace the worn-out springs. You must get the exact size spring to fit your trampoline, which require accurate measurements.
Step 1
Unhook three springs from your trampoline mat and frame.
Step 2
Measure one of the springs with your tape using inches as your unit of measurement. Record the total distance from one end of the spring to the other.
Step 3
Ensure accuracy by measuring the other two springs. If one of the springs is stretched out more than others, measuring the other two will give you a better idea of the right size springs to buy.
Step 4
Inspect the rest of your trampoline for other springs that may be worn. You may want to purchase a few extra springs if you see that others may need to be replaced.
