| While there are lots of different round trampoline manufacturers out there, most of the installation jobs are pretty similar. Follow the manual to set up the frame according to the manufacture. |
First time installer should take less than 2 hours to install, provided the pieces are laid out correctly and orderly.
Before attempting to install your trampoline, always lay out the pieces and make sure all the pieces are complete. Recommended to have at least 2 person install. First, connect the top frame. Some trampolines come with t-joints and some come with welded joints. T-joints are always better than welded joints, because welded joints, after jumping and vibration over time will eventually crack. As for t-joints, there is no cracking. As soon as top rails are connected, work on the legs next. Connect the leg extensions to the w-legs. Raise the leg extensions and connect to the top rail frame. Now, the frame should be fully completed. Next, install the jumping mat. Start by hooking the jumping mat at 12 o’clock, then 6 o’clock, then 3 o’clock, then 9 o’clock. As soon as the four corner springs are on, work your way around the trampoline. Make sure to not overload the springs on one side over the other. Try to evenly work your way around the trampoline with the springs. Overloading the springs on one side before the other can put a lot of stress on the other side.
While there are lots of different round trampoline manufacturers out there, most of the installation jobs are pretty similar. Follow the manual to set up the frame according to the manufacture. Some trampolines may have more legs then others. 16, 15 and 14ft trampolines should have a minimum of 6 U-Legs. It may seem like a lot but it’s good for the stability of the trampoline. Any size below 12 normally has about 4 U-Legs. Once you have the frame all set up, it is time to put on the jumping mat. This is the most important part. If you do it incorrect you may end up over stretching a spring, or even hurt yourself. Make sure you lay the mat down on the ground inside the frame. Next attached all the springs to the jumping mat. 16 ft trampoline should have 120 springs, 15 ft trampoline; 100 springs, and 14 ft trampoline; 96 springs. Make sure you have a trampoline spring tool. You will not be able to setup the mat without it. The spring will potentially pop up and hit you in the face if you do without the spring tool. And please make sure you wear gloves. Hook the first spring on.
The next spring you hook on should be the one in the opposite side. So look at it as if it’s a clock. The 12 first then the 6. Then the 3 and 9. 2 and the 7, and so on and so forth. This is very important to put the spring in like this because it does not over stretch the springs. If you go from one spring to the next it will make it almost impossible to put in the very last spring. Once you hook up the springs in the opposite clock formation, put in every 3 springs. Count 3 spots and one spring, and another 3 spots. Once that’s finish then you can go ahead and put in the springs in whatever order you like.
