A trampoline mat is often the first part of a rebounder that needs to be replaced after a few years of use and weather deterioration. But it isn't always the case. Its a good idea to check your trampoline thoroughly if it has been awhile since it was last used, this includes the pads and springs as well as the mat.

Essential Trampoline Parts

The three main parts of a trampoline are the pads, mats and springs. These parts vary in size for each type and shape of trampoline. Most trampoline manufacturers and stores sell their parts. You can find parts suppliers on the Internet and locate a local store.

Trampoline pads are available in various shapes such as round, square, rectangular and octagonal. A good trampoline pad is shock absorbent, of high density, and made of closed-cell foam that will not absorb water or mildew, or lose shape. Check out the thickness, width and the quality of the material used in making the frame pad.

When choosing a trampoline mat, it is also important to examine the quality of the fabric mat. The fabric should be strong, with burst strengths of 800 pounds per square inch. A standard trampoline mat is sewn with 8 rows of heavy-duty UV-resistant thread, and uses galvanized triangular v-rings for long life.

Trampoline springs that are over-stretched, loose or have damaged hooks should be replaced. Examine the length because the longer the spring, better the bounce. See if they are likely to weaken, and stretch out of shape after use.

Trampoline springs are measured from hook to hook.
