I need more jump from my trampoline?

Question

I had a bunch of friends over once like 6 people and we all jumped on it and now its like stretched out. It's kinda old and has been in the sun a lot. Is there anything i can put on my trampoline or do anything to it to make it really jumpy because if you jump on it now you can like touch the bottom by yourself.

Answer 1

If your steel frame is still sturdy, then replacing the bed (mat) and springs should improve the bounce to where it feels almost new again. If you find that to be too expensive then just try replacing only the springs. This should still help a lot. If you do not want to replace all the springs, you should still be able to improve the bounce by just replacing those springs that are the most stretched out and worn. Also do not forget to inspect the safety pads around the frame and replace those also for safety. If you are hitting bottom when you bounce alone that is a sure sign that at least some of the springs need to be replaced. If you have a low cost round trampoline, you may want to upgrade to a more professional rectangular trampoline. Rectangular trampolines have a better bounce.

Take one part of the end of the trampoline and pull tightly. Secure it tightly to the outer edge of the trampoline and sew it into place tightly. Super glue or do anything that you think you need to to keep it in place. Now cut out the remaining fabric. Do not let more than one person onto the trampoline at a time. It may seem stiff at first but it will loosen out over time.
