Trampoline Parts - Do It Yourself Repair Supplies

If your family is really enjoying the trampoline you bought, then chances are, you're going to need a few replacement parts at some point, either because a part wore out, was lost, or is damaged and needs repair.

Consider the basic items that will take the most stress and strain on a trampoline. First, there is the frame. A good quality steel frame, is made of lower gauge steel, the lower the number, the higher the quality. This should be good for the lifetime of the trampoline, barring unusual accidents where the frame is struck with something even stronger, and is damaged. So it's unlikely that you will ever need a part for the frame.

Another part that is not usually one you can repair, but must replace, is the coil springs that run between the frame and the bouncing surface. There is no condition or usage under which these could be twisted and bent, so the chances of having to order trampoline parts like this, is fairly slim. However, if you do take the trampoline down for storage over the winter, there is always the chance that a spring can be lost. In that instance, you'll want to measure the size of the remaining springs, so you order the right length.

You're more likely to be checking out a trampoline parts store for something like a new jumping mat or surface. Even the best will wear over long periods of constant use, so be sure to shop carefully for the exact size your equipment uses. Also check its stitching, the material it's made from, and the weight capacity, as well as the V rings or grommets where it attaches to the springs.

Frame pads are another important accessory for the safety of everyone who uses the trampoline. When they are worn, or not stable, the pads are not providing the protection that a falling person needs when they strike the metal frame. Make sure you get pads that are wide enough to cover the frame and springs, and are thick enough to provide a reasonable cushion. They should also have ties or systems to keep them in place during use and when there are high winds that could cause them to slip.
