New Trampoline Springs - For Extreme Bounce

The bounce in your trampoline depends on two major factors. One is the mat in the centre of the trampoline but more important are the springs around the edge of the trampoline itself. The quality and strength of the springs used on your trampoline will directly affect just how much of a bounce you can get out of it and how safely you can do so.

Trampoline springs are made from galvanized wire and ideally will conform to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Material standards) before being sold on the market. The springs initially start as a piece of strengthened wire that is then coiled and cut to a trampoline or spring manufacturers exact specification. Only the highest quality wires should be used in this process for obvious reasons.

As the years go by your trampoline springs will become weakened and stretched. The bounce in your trampoline will be affected by this as will, potentially, your safety. Periodic checks should be made on your trampoline springs to ensure they're still in good condition and not corroded. Protecting your trampoline with a tarp can help prevent this as can treating the springs with something like WD40 which will protect them from the rain and cold weather. Combining a tarp with an anti-rust treatment like WD40 is even better because it prevents any rust forming and keeps the springs in good condition - regardless of the weather.

What brand names should you look for? Well Ultra Bounce and DDI Sports are two popular brand names of trampoline springs that you might want to consider when the time comes to replace your own. You should find either of these available online when you need to go shopping.

How do you know what size springs you'll need? That's easy enough - take a spring off of the trampoline and measure it from hook to hook to get the size (measured in inches) that you'll need. Take your time making these measuresments and be as exact as you can.

Where can you buy replacement springs? Trampoline Parts and Supply have a wide range of springs for sale and offer very good value for money - they also offer free shipping on a range of items which is another plus in their favor.

The final price will of course depend on the quantity and quality of the springs purchased. Check out their online store today.
