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.
