Everything that we use will eventually break, so you should know some things about trampoline repair. You don't need any serious mechanical training to accomplish trampoline repair. Since you probably built it yourself, trampoline repair is little more than small steps of what you have already done. Below, we will offer some of the things that you will eventually have to do to keep your trampoline in a safe working state.

Trampoline Repair Issues Demystified

The first trampoline repair you will probably have to make is to send the mat out for re-stitching. Every couple of years your trampoline needs to be re-stitched whether it looks like it or not. Of course if the stitching shows signs of breaking or wear before the two to three years you will have to do it sooner. Yes, you actually do have to remove all of the springs to remove the mat, but it's a good idea to check them when you do to see if any of them need replacement also.

Springs will periodically loosen or begin to sag. This can occur to one or several springs, and they should be replaced as soon as this occurs. Remember, a trampoline needs to be balanced to keep the jumper in the center. A worn spring or springs will distort the center and possibly cause injury if not fixed. Don't put this off!

If a leg assembly or rail section becomes bent or distorted in any way, it needs to be fixed before using the trampoline. Repair it before you allow anyone to use it. These are simply common sense issues that most responsible people will accept as a part of the responsibility of having a backyard trampoline. While trampoline repair isn't at all difficult, it can be a pain at times. Yet procrastinating can cause physical pain to others. Keep your trampoline in good working order and it will be a safe and enjoyable backyard activity.
