How to Measure a Trampoline for Replacement Parts?
Over the course of a trampoline’s life, Measure a trampoline is an important thing, the safety pads may begin to wear, the casing may begin to tear, or the mats may begin to deteriorate. Whatever the problem, if you want to ensure your trampoline is as safe as possible, at some point you may need to replace parts. To order the correct parts, you will need to measure your trampoline.
The main reason for measuring your trampoline is to ensure that you get the correct replacement parts or accessories that fit your trampoline. Purchasing the wrong size accessories can cost a lot of time and money, and it will also increase the waiting time for your child to play on the trampoline.
1. Measuring the circular trampoline frame
- First, use a tape measure or other measuring tool from one end of the metal frame to the other, rather than measuring the diameter of the mat. Note that you need to measure through the center of the trampoline when measuring.
- Continue to repeat the measurement from the other side
- Calculate the average of the two sides, which is the accurate value for the size of the trampoline. Note that the trampoline needs to be level and not bent when measuring.
2. Measuring the rectangular trampoline frame
To measure a rectangular trampoline, you need to measure the length of each side of the trampoline metal frame.
- You can start from the shorter sides and then calculate the average
- Then start from the longer sides and calculate the average
- These two averages are the length of your trampoline. If you need to convert meters to feet, you need to multiply meters by 3.28.
3. Measure the oval trampoline frame
The way to measure an oval trampoline is similar to that of a rectangular trampoline, measuring the length of the short side and the long side respectively.
- Measure the maximum length of the short side
- Measure the maximum length of the long side
- The maximum length of the short side and the long side is the size of the trampoline. Note that the trampoline should be kept horizontal and non-bent during measurement.
4. Measure the trampoline mat
Before measuring the trampoline mat, measure the trampoline frame first, otherwise you will not be able to get the size of the mat. Generally, the actual size of the trampoline mat purchased for a 16-foot trampoline may be 14 feet.
Because of the spring, the spring is between the frame and the trampoline mat, and the length is generally 2 feet. The specific length can be measured by yourself.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to measure the frame and spring length when replacing the trampoline mat.
5. Measure the number and size of springs
The reason for measuring the number and size of springs is to better replace the trampoline mat. For example, if the spring size is 2 feet and the trampoline frame is 16 feet, you need to buy a 14-foot trampoline mat.
Testing the number of springs means that when buying a trampoline mat, you need to pay attention to whether the purchased trampoline mat is suitable for the number of springs, so as to avoid subsequent adaptation and installation.
6. How often do you need to replace trampoline parts?
There is no fixed replacement time, which depends on the quality of your trampoline, the climate type of your location, and the frequency of use of the trampoline. If the frequency of use is high, it is recommended to check it once a month to avoid injury during play.
The price of the trampoline affects the quality of the trampoline. Cheaper trampolines need to replace safety mats and external nets once a year, and springs can be replaced once every 2-4 years.
7. The cost of maintaining the trampoline
Regular maintenance not only ensures the safety of trampoline users, but also extends the life of the trampoline. It is a very worthwhile investment. You must budget for occasional maintenance so that the trampoline can provide the best play experience.
Cleaning and minor repairs can be done by yourself and are more cost-effective. The main expenses are cleaning supplies and small parts, which cost between $30 and $100.
For repairs to major parts such as the frame or springs, it is recommended to find a professional repair. Professional repair services are usually charged by the hour, which may range from $50 to $150 per hour, including the cost of parts replacement.
8. Upgrading the trampoline
If you plan to use the trampoline for a long time and find that the trampoline is not suitable for you, then you can consider whether to upgrade the existing trampoline.
