When Should I Buy Trampoline Replacement Springs?

Just when you've reached the highest peak of your jump, you hear a loud boing sound, and when you hit the trampoline mat again, it seems to feel a little loose. The problem may even cause you to lose your balance and fall. You've just broken one of the springs, and you're lucky you didn't get hurt. In fact, you're even more lucky that one of your children didn't get hurt. Now you're faced with finding a replacement spring before anyone can jump again. Possibly, the store where you purchased the tramp will have trampoline replacement springs, and maybe not. You realize you should have kept some extra springs on hand, because now jumping will have to be put on hold until you can find one.

Before you go out and buy one spring, though, take a look at all the other springs on your trampoline. If one was rusted through or worn enough to break, it's likely that others are in the same condition. If you leave your tramp out in the elements unprotected, and even if you cover it, it's going to happen eventually. If you're concerned about the safety of your trampoline, you'll want to replace every spring that looks ready to pop. So count up all of the springs you'll need (most likely all of them), and then go out to purchase them.

If you can't find your replacement trampoline springs locally, you can try searching on the Internet. There are many online shops that carry replacement parts for many different brands of trampolines, and you will most likely find what you're looking for there. Be sure to check the brand and model number of your tramp as well as any numbers that might be on the springs, because this information will help you locate the parts you are seeking.

If you don't have specific information regarding the springs you need to buy, or you can't find the ones you are looking for, you can go with springs of another brand that are the same length and diameter.

Before doing so you'll want to get careful measurements of one of your own unbroken springs. Trampoline replacement springs have to fit correctly. If they are too large, you won't get the tautness in the mat you need for jumping, and if they're too small, there's no way you're going to be able to stretch them to fit.
