Frequency of trampoline care and maintenance

Trampoline repairs in Kenya

The frequency of trampoline care and maintenance depends on various factors such as usage, weather conditions, and the quality of the trampoline materials.

Here’s a general guideline for the frequency of trampoline care and maintenance

Regular Inspections

Perform visual inspections of the trampoline frame, springs, mat, and safety enclosure regularly, ideally every month or so. Look for signs of wear and tear, rust, loose or missing parts, and any damage to the mat or springs.

Cleaning

Clean the trampoline surface and frame as needed, especially if it’s exposed to outdoor elements. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the frame and mat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the materials.

Tightening Bolts and Nuts

Check and tighten bolts, nuts, and screws regularly to ensure that the frame remains sturdy and safe. Loose components can lead to instability and potential accidents.

Spring Maintenance

Inspect the springs for rust, stretching, or damage. Replace any damaged or worn-out springs promptly. Lubricate the springs if necessary to prevent rust and ensure smooth bouncing.

The frequency of trampoline care and maintenance ensures the mat care

Check the mat for tears, holes, or stretching. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further deterioration. Ensure that the mat is securely attached to the frame.

Weather Protection

If the trampoline is kept outdoors, consider investing in a weather cover to protect it from rain, snow, and excessive sunlight when not in use. This helps prolong the lifespan of the materials and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

Seasonal Maintenance

Perform more thorough inspections and maintenance tasks at the beginning and end of each season, especially before storing the trampoline for an extended period. This includes checking all parts for wear and tear, cleaning the trampoline thoroughly, and making any necessary repairs or replacements.

Safety Enclosure

Inspect the safety enclosure net regularly for tears or damage. Repair or replace any damaged parts to ensure that it provides adequate protection for users.

User Guidelines

Educate users about proper trampoline usage to minimize wear and tear and reduce the risk of accidents. Discourage roughhousing, jumping near the edges, and using the trampoline in adverse weather conditions.

By following these maintenance guidelines and conducting regular inspections, you can maintain the frequency of trampoline care and maintenance thereby ensuring the safety and longevity of your trampoline.

Does your trampoline look like the above picture? It simply means that it’s time to consider replacing trampoline parts. Trampolines can be dangerous if they are not properly maintained. Just as we habitually check the brakes on our children’s bikes, we also should take care of our trampoline, ensuring that it is always in good shape.

The critical areas to consider in trampoline repairs and replacement of parts in Kenya are:

Trampoline Net Replacement 

  • Of all areas of a trampoline, this is the part that often fails, yet it is the most vital safety component. The netting can come apart if it is cut or ripped, it can also just rot and fall apart
  •  Good quality netting for trampolines in Nairobi will last 5-10 years, therefore when ordering replacement netting, spend as much as you can the higher the price of the netting, the longer it will last
  •  Look for polyester netting as it is far more durable than nylon

The padding over the frame and springs

  • How often you replace this component is influenced by one key consideration: – Does your enclosure netting hang inside or outside the padding? If the netting hangs outside the padding, there is no need for the padding to be in top condition, because the netting will stop the user from coming in to contact with the frame or springs (the main reason that trampolines has surround pads)
  • If the netting hangs inside the padding, as it did on most models manufactured before 2009, the padding needs to be in good condition. If the pads have fallen apart, they will not provide protection should the jumper fall on to the springs or frame
  • As with replacement netting, the more you spend on padding the longer it will last. As long as the pads are a decent thickness of 20mm+ they will have plenty of cushioning property but ensure that the outer covering material is thick too- circa 0.55m. If it’s a thin material such as PE it will crack in direct sunlight, advisable to look for good thick PVC pads.

Replacing trampoline parts covers mat replacement 

  • The good news is that 99% of jumping mats for trampolines in Kenya are made of polypropylene, as such are indestructible. The jumping mat should last at least 10 years, before they perish, however, if they get a cut or slit in them, they will need replacing. Putting a foot through a jump mat and hitting the ground can seriously injure the user
  • If your mat gets a hole in it from a cigarette or ember from a bonfire, there is no cause for alarm because the cross-weave nature of a jump mat is such that the hole should not get any larger.

Replacing trampoline parts includes Frame Replacement 

  • The frame does not need replacing, as long as you have bought a genuine one. Most frames are made of fully galvanized steel, meaning that they will not rust or crack
  • Always check the frame on a weekly basis because it is under tension, and if there is a fault in the steel, you do not want to have the frame collapsing on you

Trampoline springs Repalacemnt 

  • Trampoline Springs in Nairobi,  usually break either because they are not strong enough for the job (they vary in quality), or the trampoline weight limit has been exceeded
  •  A bit of surface rust is not a problem and if only missing a couple of springs, the quality of the bounce and safety should not be compromised in the short term
  • Missing quite a few springs means that the bounce will not be as good as it should be, but more importantly, you are not spreading the load correctly across the remaining springs. This means that here is an obvious safety issue and in time, the rest of the springs will fail too.

Replacing trampoline parts is the surest way to be safe

  • Competition

Kids usually love competition and parents use this to their advantage when they are trying to make them finish their food or complete a task. This trick can also be used for cleaning the Nairobi trampoline. It could be the one who finished cleaning their part of the trampoline first will get candy or the one who picks most leaves around the trampoline will choose the movie to be watched later in the evening. The idea is to be very creative about the gifts and make the tasks fun for them!

  • Water Fights

The trampoline mat is the most important of the trampoline during cleaning. The most effective way is to use a little soap and water, mix them then use a soft brush to clean. A hosepipe will come in handy while rinsing the mat and also cleaning the other parts of the trampoline. Avoid using harsh chemicals while cleaning because this could damage your trampoline.

Once you are done with cleaning, take this opportunity to have a water fight. Involve everyone even the older children, make it a family fun activity. This will leave the children always looking forward to trampoline cleaning days.

  • Rewards

The world revolves around knowing that there’s a reward for almost everything you do. You go to work because you know that you will receive a salary after every month or every week.  This also encourages kids when it comes to tasks, promise something at the end of the cleaning activity. It could be extra jumping time on the trampoline, more candy. More TV time etc

This also requires a lot of creativity from the parents and knowing what your kids enjoy most so that the gift that you promise makes them work easy and fast.

  • Music

Music makes everything more fun and enjoyable; it also makes it look that time has gone faster. It creates an environment where cleaning is fun and not just hard work. This will make cleaning your trampoline in Nairobi fun and enjoyable.

Create a playlist that you know your children will enjoy and see the magic!

  •  Ownership

Constantly reminding your children that it’s their trampoline and that they should take responsibility for it is very important. Therefore, create a roster for them for cleaning it and days for picking toys and leaves around it.

This is also a way of teaching them responsibility and work ethic where they don’t have to be constantly micromanaged.

It is important to always keep your trampoline clean and not directly under the sun because the rays can damage the trampoline mat in Kenya and reduce the longevity of the trampoline.

Trampolines are outdoor equipment that are mostly used for recreation but are also very essential when it comes to exercising. When trampolines are well taken care of, they can last for a very long time. A trampoline has three main components; the frame, springs, and jumping mat without these trampoline parts and accessories, the trampoline cannot function. The other trampoline accessories are net, poles, cover pad, and ladder.

Trampoline parts and accessories

Various components are used to assemble a complete trampoline. While some are essential others are simply add-ons to make the trampoline experience better. Let us look at these components in detail.

Trampoline Frame

The trampoline frame is the heart and foundation of a trampoline. It supports all the other parts of the trampoline and is very essential for the safety of the trampoline. It is very important to ensure that the material used for the frame is galvanized steel because it has a higher rust resistance and is also very durable.

The frame of the trampoline is the part that is most likely to last the longest but if one part of the frame is bent it’s important to ensure that it is repaired immediately because if the whole frame spoilt you may have to buy a new frame and it is quite difficult to find.

Springs

Springs are responsible for the bounce of the trampoline. Without springs, the trampoline would not be fun. Trampoline springs usually vary in size and it’s therefore very important to know the size of the springs your trampoline uses before purchase.

Springs usually stretch after frequent use for a long time and can also experience rust if exposed to bad weather. Worn-out springs affect the bounce quality of the trampoline and can also lead to damage to the mat because it may be pulled on one side while bouncing. You are therefore advised to check your springs regularly. If you need to replace your trampoline springs in Nairobi, they are available here.

Jumping Mat

The jumping mat is the most used part of the trampoline. It is made of very strong fabric that can accommodate the weight of up to 5 or more children jumping on the trampoline at the same time.

To protect the cover, you are advised to either buy a trampoline cover or place your trampoline under a shade to protect it from damaging UV rays and harsh weather conditions that can affect your trampoline in Kenya.  If you notice any thin hole spots on your trampoline, know that it is time to get your jumping mat replaced. They come in various sizes, mostly 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 14ft and 16ft.

Safety Net

Also known as the enclosure, the safety net is very important for preventing injury during trampolining. It is used to prevent one from falling off the trampoline while bouncing and this is usually the main cause of injury while using a trampoline.

Harsh weather conditions can also cause wear and tear for the safety net but getting a new one for replacement is rather easy. Do not allow children to bounce on the trampoline if the net has not been installed.

Spring Cover Pad

Trampoline cover pads cover the springs and the frame of the trampoline. They also provide safety while trampolining in Nairobi. In case one falls on the springs or the frame it helps them not get hurt. The cover pads are therefore so soft and colorful because they improve the aesthetics of the trampoline.

Foam pole paddings

These paddings are usually placed around the enclosure poles and provide protection in case one hits the poles while trampolining. It is placed together with the trampoline pole sleeves.

In the case of harsh weather conditions, it is important to learn how to disassemble a trampoline so as to increase its life span in Kenya. It is also important to learn how to disassemble and reinstall it in case you need to move it to different locations.

Below we provide a step-by-step procedure on how to easily disassemble your trampoline in Kenya:

Step 1: Preparation and Tools

Before you start the process of disassembling your Nairobi trampoline, ensure that you have first cleaned it and you have the boxes for storage.

You also need to crosscheck that you have all the tools needed for the disassembly.

The main tool needed for disassembly is a Kenyan trampoline spring puller. This makes it easy to pull springs from the trampoline. You can also use caulking guns, pliers and screw drivers as alternatives.

The other tool is a screw driver and it’s alternative a power drill.

Step 2: Removing the trampoline accessories (Ladder, Safety Net etc.)

First, you start by taking out the ladder then go to detaching the net.

If your Kenyan trampoline has pole caps, go ahead and remove the caps first then detach all the poles from the safety net. At this stage, you can untie the basketball hoop if you have one.

Don’t forget to clean if there is any rust or debris before storing.

Step 3: Take apart the safety cover.

This can be done before the net disassembly.

Untie all the knots beneath the trampoline cover pad then fold it and put in a box.

PS: A key could help untie stubborn knots.

Step 4: Disassembling the Springs

This could be the most tedious part of the process however well kept springs and this technique we are about to give you can make it easier. In the case of rusted springs, get some hand gloves for safety.

Now, take your spring tool and choose any spring that you want to remove first. Then pull the spring hook at the mat end towards the trampoline center.

The spring will be extended, so loosen it from the V-ring of the mat. At the same time, take apart the other spring hook from the frame.

Repeat the same process for the rest of the springs. If the spring puller doesn’t work for you, you can use the alternatives as stated earlier.

Step 5: Folding the Trampoline Mat

After spring removal, the trampoline is just a frame. Place the jumping mat on the ground, fold it in half then the half in half again until it can fit in a box.

Step 6: Dismantling the Frame

The job here is mainly unscrewing.

After unscrewing is complete, detach the legs from the main frame. Be careful not to hurt yourself during this process as the frames are rather heavy. To avoid injury, you can stand in the middle of the leg and exert upward pressure on the outer ring to detach the legs.

When all the legs are detached, the outer ring left to be disassembled. Now, dismantle the outer ring from the T-joints. You can do it by twisting the rings. Finally, you are capable of detaching the outer rings and T-joints. After that, store the outer rings, legs, and T-sections in the trampoline storage box.

You have successfully disassembled your Nairobi trampoline!

This material is used because of its ability to be elastic and porous. They are available in different configurations but the most common type is 1- inch thick.

Custom designs are also available. The foam cushion sleeve therefore easily slides over the enclosure poles. The foam sleeves can easily be cut to fit any length of enclosure support pole, making them to be useful for many different enclosure brands.

They come in a variety of colors such as blue, red, green, white, orange, yellow, black, etc. Padded enclosure poles foam provides protection for trampoline users in case they stumble upon the steel enclosure poles.

So why then is a trampoline foam sleeve important?

A typical cause of injury seen with over energetic jumpers or trampoline enthusiasts is as a consequence of falling off the trampoline when they try out different moves or stunts on the trampoline.

As a result, the user may suffer injuries ranging from simple bruises to broken bones, damaged spinal cords and even death in serious cases. These injuries can greatly be reduced by installing the safety net and having its enclosure metals covered with trampoline foam sleeves.

Trampoline enclosure pole foam sleeves is therefore a must have trampoline accessory to ensure your family’s safety.

It protects your kids from getting hurt in case they jump into a trampoline pole while jumping on the trampoline.

  8. Place your trampoline on a level surface and well lit area, to ensure a safe and secure bounce.
  9. Ensure the trampoline is properly secure.

  11. Always use safety padding on the frame to avoid injury.

Maintenance Tips

Take a look at these trampoline maintenance tips from a step by step approach. The trampoline is made up of a number of components that require specific maintenance guidelines.

Trampoline Frame

  1. We recommend a soft, level surface for trampoline positioning, such as a front or back lawn. Hard surfaces such as concrete or pavement are not recommended as they can increase pressure on the frame and cause damage.
  2. Take note of the weight capacity levels on trampolines. Overextending these capacities can leave to damage.
  3. When moving a trampoline, we recommend lifting the trampoline or using wheels. Do not drag the trampoline as this can cause bending and warping of the legs and joins.

Safety Pads

  1. Safety Padding should be kept loose and clear above the springs. They should not be squashed or compromised in any way whilst the trampoline is in use, as this can cause ripping on the safety pads.
  2. In extremely cold weather conditions when the trampoline isn’t in use, remove your safety pads and store inside for winter, to avoid cracking and water damage.
  3. Whilst our safety pads are UV protected, in long heat waves when trampoline is not in use it is recommended to remove safety pads to ensure longevity.

Good location is key

You may think since you have a sturdy trampoline you can place it anywhere in the backyard as long as there is enough space. In fact, you are not wrong actually. But it will be better if you can find a shady place where the land is even. Even places are great for the perfect setup of the frame on which the whole trampoline lies.  As long as the frame is established properly, you will have great jumps along with a great life period of your trampoline.

Check your trampoline regularly

Regular maintenance is necessary for pretty much everything in this world whether it is your own health, mobile phones, cars, or trampolines. If you take regular care and maintain your trampoline properly, the jumpers will remain safe for a long time along with your trampoline. So make a routine that you will check the trampoline after a certain period of time. And that time can be a couple of weeks, every month or every two months. Remember that, the most often you can check the trampoline, the greater your trampoline health will be.

Trampoline covers are necessary

The trampoline cover is an important accessory for taking care of the trampoline throughout the year. If you can’t find a shady place to set up your trampoline, a cover can save your trampoline from the hot sun to some extent. Again you can cover your favorite trampoline in the rain and prevent water from entering your trampoline. To use cover in the winter, you have to take some facts into consideration. Trampoline covers may enable moisture accumulating beneath and thus your trampoline spring or frame may get rusted. So if you use cover in the winter you have to remove the cover from time to time so that moisture can be dried naturally.

Avoid shoes and jewelry

You should jump with bare feet or you can wear socks maximum. Never jump on a trampoline while wearing shoes. This may cause great harm to the jumping mat. Since shoes could have pinch point they can tear the mat badly with time. And shoes put lots of pressure while you are jumping wearing them. You should not carry any jewelry or sharp or pointed things in your hands or pockets while jumping on the trampoline. They may also cause harm to the trampoline mat accidentally.

Replace parts when necessary

If you maintain proper care for your favorite trampoline, your trampoline will accompany you for a satisfactory period of time. In the process, if you find any parts like springs are rusted or the jumping mat is torn, you should replace them without any delay. Or if you are lucky enough to be still in the warranty period claim that as soon as possible. If you neglect any problem considering that small enough, that negligible problem will result in great loss in the long run. So be someone of action.

Trampoline maintenance and care is very important as it increases the life of your trampoline. If you need to replace any trampoline parts or get your trampoline repaired contact us.

The pros of trampoline maintenence in Kenya are profound .Getting a trampoline not only means buying it and setting it up, it also involves some trampoline maintenance that will help it last longer and you will also enjoy all the benefits the trampoline has to offer.

Below are some of the pros of trampoline maintenence

 Trampoline Maintenance is Cost Effective

Trampoline maintenance in Nairobi Kenya may seem so hard and expensive but it is actually very easy and cheap. The biggest cost on trampolines is purchasing it and the parts, once the trampoline is purchased, the only other thing is to properly place it and clean it often.

Promotes Child Safety

The more your trampoline is maintained the safer it is for your children while playing. The safety net is the most important safety feature for your trampoline and if it is not properly maintained then your children may get injured while bouncing.

This goes hand in hand with the jumping mat and all the other trampoline parts. If there is a hole in your mat and you allow your children to keep bouncing on it like that then the hole keeps getting bigger and is very unsafe for your child. A properly maintained trampoline ensures safety for your child.

Keeps your children active

In this modern time, the biggest parenting issue is how to keep your children entertained and reduce screen time. There are so many gadgets that are now being used to entertain children. As much as technology has it’s own benefits, too much of it is also dangerous.

Compared to the use of gadgets, bouncing on a trampoline has more benefits. These includes bone development, social interactions, improves metabolism, improves the immune system and many more. By leveraging the pros of maintaining your trampoline in Nairobi Kenya , your  child can enjoy these benefits and more over a long period of time.

Buying a good quality trampoline may be quite costly.  To attain value for your money, the trampoline should be able to serve you for many years. This will only happen if the trampoline is well taken care of and necessary measures of protecting the trampoline are well adhered.

Below, we will provide 3 steps on how to maintain your trampoline.

Create  simple trampoline rules

Children are the ones who spend most of the time on the trampoline and they are not mature enough to think about the repercussions of what they do on the trampoline. Some simple rules like no jumping on the trampoline with shoes on, no climbing on the safety net, limit the number of people jumping on it simultaneously etc, go a long way with protecting the trampoline and its accessories. 

For example, when you limit the number of people bouncing on the trampoline simultaneously, it prevents the springs and the jumping mat from stretching too far. This then lowers the chances of having to replace trampoline springs and the mat soon.

Weatherproof your trampoline

Another huge cause of things that may harm your trampoline is the weather. Too much sun and too much rain both have a good chance of destroying different accessories of the trampoline. The frame of the trampoline is made of galvanized steel which means it protects it from rusting when rained on. Overtime though, when the rain is consistent, it may end up rusting. A simple tip on how to maintain your trampoline is to cover your trampoline during the rainy season.

Harsh rays from the sun affect the jumping mat, it increases the chances of wear and tear of the trampoline mat. You are therefore advised to place your trampoline where there is some shade, this is also good for the children because the sun won’t be an issue during their play time.

Protecting your trampoline from either the sun or the rains is more cost effective than having to replace the worn out accessories or in the worst scenario, buying a new trampoline.

Opt for open areas

Consider placing your trampoline where there are minimal chances of the user being hurt. Do not place it under low lying tree branches, near a fence or on top of stones. This is an essential tip on how to maintain your trampoline as open areas, free from obstacles are more ideal for trampolining activities.

Placing your trampoline away natural fencing, where the plants have thorns can prevent the safety net from being torn by the thorns. It may also protect it from possible fire incidents because plants burn fast.

These tips on how to maintain your trampoline are as easy as they look. By taking time to apply these instructions, you could easily save yourself  the money and time taken to conduct simple repairs.
