The What, Why, How & Where of replacing your trampoline jump mat

WHAT?

The jump mat is one of the most important parts of any trampoline. Although the life span of a trampoline jump mat should span several years, especially if it is made from top quality fibres, you may have started to notice that your jump mat has suffered wear and tear or weather damage.  If you have started to see also that the springs are becoming rusted or damaged this is also a sign it is time to up cycle. A jump mat can be easily replaced so no need to worry that all the family fun is coming to an end.

WHY?

There are many reasons why a trampoline jump mat may need replacing such as

  • Too much weight, or too many people on the trampoline
  • A stretched jump mat will sag over time
  • There will be less bounce the more the mat is used
  • Rain may cause the mat to sag or snow
  • Overuse may cause the stitching to come loose or the rings may get damaged
  • Foreign bodies on the trampoline may rip holes in the mat

In order to replace the trampoline mat you must first measure it so you can see what size the replacement needs to be. Simply get a measuring tape and record the width of the mat from edge to edge. You then need to measure the springs from tip to tip and lastly count the number of eyelets.
