If you're having trouble with your existing trampoline, it can seem easier to
just replace the whole thing rather than fuss about finding replacement parts.
However, this is usually the most expensive choice and really depends on how
damaged your current trampoline is and whether it is worth replacing.
When to Consider Replacing a Trampoline Part and When Not To
Repairs will eventually be needed after exposing the trampoline to sun for
long periods of time; weathering and even just plain using the trampoline for
its normal purposes of exercise and plain old fashioned fun.
Trampoline mats, for example, are made of polypropylene mesh, which is a
strong woven fabric of tremendous endurance and elasticity. If you have a small
hole in the mat (a small hole is less than one inch in diameter) you may try and
repair it; there are many companies who offer service repairs, rebuild and hole
patching. Sometimes, these companies will suggest you replace the whole mat
instead of patching it for safety reasons.
Keep this guidelines in mind: If your trampoline is older than 10 years you
should consider replacing the entire piece of equipment when it shows signs of
wearing out, or when it is torn from the edges, or has been repaired previously,
or especially when the frame gives in or shows signs of serious damage.
The trampoline’s normal life is approximately seven to eight years; the life
of the trampoline mat can be extended by using UV protective cover when not in
use, as this will prevent the sun’s UV rays from deteriorating the mat stitches
any sooner then they have to.
Trampoline part replacement should only be done at specialized stores where
qualified personal will help you make the right decision, keeping your safety in
mind. It is very important that you stop using your trampoline should you see
that any trampoline part is severely damaged or deteriorating. Make everyone
aware in the house that is likely to use the trampoline that it is not safe to
use it until the damage is fixed.
Many people enjoy the fun of trampoline exercising and just plain having fun
with family and friends, however, being careful and making sure it is safe to
use the trampoline is what will make the fun remain fun, and not turn into
tragedy.
