Trampoline Springs and Replacement Springs

Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Most trampolines can be separated into two main categories; recreational and competitive. Recreational ones are mainly used by the everyday family in their back yard. These are used for fun and sometimes a little workout. The competitive kinds are usually made to be bouncier, and are portable so they can be easily carried to events and competitions. The main differences between these two types are the quality of the fabric, and the tension of the springs.
The springs of the trampolines are the most important parts. Spring-based trampolines are usually more durable and provide more bounce compared to their elastic band counterparts. The stronger the springs and the more the tension there is the greater bounce you can get with it.
Most trampoline springs are created using a galvanized metal. This type of metal keeps the springs from getting rusty while outdoors. Zinc and steel are the most common metals used to make the springs.
Because the springs of your trampoline are the most important aspects, you should learn when it is a good time to replace them if you want to continue to have the best bouncing and safety. The more times you use your trampoline the more stress is placed on your springs. This causes them to wear out. Even though your springs are made of high quality galvanized wire, they will still stretch and get weak over time. You should always keep an eye on your trampoline and make sure that it is still in good condition before you use it.
To keep your springs working well for longer, cover up your trampoline while it's not being used. This will help protect it from the sun, rain and snow, and keep it from getting rusty.
