Put On A Trampoline Mat

Get jumping on your own trampoline.


Whether you are moving an older trampoline to a new location or setting up a newly purchased trampoline that is missing instructions, proper installation of the trampoline mat is imperative. No tools are required to put the trampoline mat on the trampoline frame; however, two adults are mandatory to prevent over extension of the springs. Grab a friend to help you with your task and you will be jumping high into the air in a short time.


Instructions


1. Select a level location on the dirt or grass for your trampoline, with sufficient overhead and lateral clearance.


2. Assemble the trampoline frame according to the manufacturer's instructions.


3. Connect a spring to a V-ring of the trampoline mat and pull it toward the trampoline frame. Attach it to a spring notch on the trampoline frame. Repeat for three more springs, placing them at equal distances around the frame.


4. Connect every fourth spring from the mat's V-ring to the frame's spring notch, working your way around the trampoline mat.


5. Attach the middle springs from the mat to the spring notches, working your way around the mat a second time. Have another adult working opposite you, around the mat, to keep proper tension on the springs. Repeat until you have attached all of the springs.
