Trampoline repair??

mcgann4

Anyone know if I could pay someone to repair a trampoline? The mat, springs and base are fine. The poles that held up the safety net snapped so we have no net a all now.. Thanks

I'd post some photos of the damage.

Before I’d replace or repair I’d check the weight limit capacity of the product against your kids new/ combined weights - it might be time for an upgrade or alternative grade solution!

It's a 8ft trampoline and my kids are still under 7 and little dots so dont think weight needs to be considered

Was that trampoline from Smyth’s, with gold coloured connectors for the poles?

And are the nets still intact apart from the broken poles?

Yes that’s the one. The nets are fine. Just the poles snapped.. might suggest a joint birthday present of a new one from both sets of grandparents, just looking at the springs now and they’re quite rusted.. may be better off replacing it all together. It’s lasted 3 years so not too bad it was flipped during a storm which caused the damage to the net poles

I have the larger version of that and the same thing happened to mine also. Smyth’s no longer sell the parts and the trampoline spares website mentioned above can’t sell them due to patent or some other issue. I checked about 6 weeks ago. I went to a local steel place and just bought galvanised steel poles and used U bolts to attach them to the trampoline. It’s good as new again. I’m away from home tonight so can’t take pics, but can do so tomorrow if it’s any use to you.

Yes thanks that would be great.

Here you go, pics attached.

The reason I chose to stick with mine was because apart from the connectors, the rest of the trampoline was pretty solid. I think the steel I got is much sturdier than what was in it, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

To replace the three poles and the u bolts cost me €30. As the poles were a bit narrower, I was able to slip the original posts on them first, then the net.

I have the Smyths 13ft Power trampoline and the safety mat needs replacing. Also my 14 yo stretched a spring acting the goat by hopping on the mat. Where is the best place to source a mat and replacement springs for this trampoline?

Similar issue here with the top t section for jump power trampoline. Smyths are next to useless. Cannot find a parts supplier. Any ideas guys?

a different brand, however seem all the same design, so you may find equivalent part here. These offer full spares, I recently replaced the safety net from them. From UK though.

I got one like these

You just slide the pole down a bit and clamp away. You may want to take off the old clamps though as they have jagged edges from the break . Worked a treat and far better.

But ya the original parts were made of butter .

My eyebrow raised when I saw this thread pop up as the bars snapped on the same type of trampoline in our house over the weekend.

That's an ingeniously simple solution.
