Trampolines can be a lot of fun and can also provide a good workout.
If your trampoline's bounce is just not what it use to be, the problem could be a direct result of damaged springs, mats and pads. Since the tension and compression of the springs, mats and pads all work together to provide the trampoline with its flexible mechanical design, replacing the parts will improve the elasticity of the trampoline. With a few simple repairs and adjustments, you can be back to bouncing on your trampoline in no time.
Instructions
1. Inspect your trampoline for faulty parts and damage by having a friend or family member jump on your trampoline. Observe the compression in all the springs when the person bounces on the trampoline. Since the springs and mat provide the trampoline with its elasticity, springs that are too compressed can decrease the trampoline's bounciness.
2. Replace the damaged springs and tighten them to increase the tension of the trampoline. Refer to your trampoline's instruction manual on replace and tighten the springs. Make sure to keep all the springs at the same tension to avoid an imbalance in the weight distribution of the springs.
3. Observe the trampoline's padding and mats for rips and damage, and replace them if necessary. The mat and padding of the trampoline also help counter the weight of the person on the trampoline and forces him or her back up with the tension from the springs. If the padding and mat have damage, the elasticity effectiveness will also decrease.
