A rectangle trampoline is an excellent investment in your children’s fitness and enjoyment. To keep it in top condition and to guarantee its longevity, you need to maintain it properly. 

In this article, we’ll go over some tips to maintain your rectangle trampoline to aid you in keeping it in good condition for the years to come.

Place it in the correct place

The place you choose to put it is a major influence on the life of a trampoline. The best location is an open, level area free of obstacles. Be sure to stay clear of the direct sunlight, or make use of a trampoline roof to protect your trampoline mat.

It is also important to ensure that your rectangle trampoline is not in contact with any trees. Leaves and branches that fall can collect on the mat or create stress on the frame, leading the frame to fall apart earlier than it normally would. Select a place that doesn’t have high-risk hazards. Always remove any twigs, leaves or branches that are on your mat.

Follow the instructions

Installing a trampoline could appear easy but it is important to adhere to the instructions during installation. A lot of large trampolines require two persons to put up and high-quality models have all the equipment for assembly.

Incorrectly following the manual could invalidate your warranty, so be sure you read the instructions carefully. It is also possible to contact the company if you require assistance during the procedure.

Make sure to check your trampoline prior to every use

It is not necessary to perform an entire inspection every day. You can just do a walkaround and answer the following questions:

• Does the padding have enough security?
• Is the net in good shape (no holes, tears, or stretching)?
• Is the trampoline mat in a level position (no sliding)? Are there no tears or holes?
• Are the poles and frame still in good shape and free of corrosion?
• Is the trampoline dry and clean?
• Is the area under as well as around the trampoline level?

We recommend that you conduct an extensive inspection in your regular trampoline maintenance. Pick a frequency that suits your needs whether it’s monthly, weekly and every other month. It is also recommended to do this in the aftermath of snow or storms or if you’ve gone for a long period without a trampoline.

During these inspections be sure to pay attention to each component of the trampoline. These include the frame and enclosure, padding net poles, jumping mat, springs, bolts or elastics.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning tools, which could damage the mat. Clean the mat thoroughly using the hose and let it dry completely before you use the trampoline once more.
