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.

  8. Place your trampoline on a level surface and well lit area, to ensure a safe and secure bounce.

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.  

Your trampoline could be the greatest investment for your children. 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.

After some time (a year or so), you may have to replace some of the parts like springs and the safety net. These parts are very affordable, you do not need to break your bank for them. This is easily one of the most attractive pros of trampoline maintenance

Good Investment

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.

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 hose pipe 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.

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 mat and reduce the longevity of the trampoline.

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.

Importance of trampoline parts

Springs

Springs are reponsibe for the bounce of the trampoline. Without springs, the trampoline would not be fun. Trampoline springs usually vary in sizes 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 damaging of the mat because it may be pulled on one side while bouncing. You are therefore advised to check your springs regularly.

Jumping Mat

The jusmping 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 chidren 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.  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 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.

Trampoline Ladder

The ladder is used for accessibility of trampoline especially for toddlers and children. It can be easily removed and kept somewhere safe if not in use to protect it from wear and tear.

Trampolines create the euphoric feeling of temporarily flying especially for kids, imagine having a trampoline in your backyard and giving your children this experience as often as they like! If you would like to purchase a trampoline, you have probably fallen into the rectangular vs round trampoline dilemma.

 The main differences between a round and rectangular trampoline are in the frame strength, use, safety, and bounce. Now let’s take a look at the differences in depth.

 Frame strength

When considering buying a trampoline, the shape shouldn’t be the most important thing to consider but the frame of the trampoline. The type of steel that is used for the trampoline is the thing that forms the quality and durability of the trampoline.

The best material in regards to trampolines is the galvanized steel frame, this material is more resistant to rust thus making the trampoline more durable.

Whether your trampoline is round or rectangular, as long as the material used for the frames is a galvanized steel frame, then both trampolines are good.

Rectangular vs round trampoline: Usage

Is your trampoline entirely for recreation or for athletic purposes? If you want it for your backyard just for the family to have fun, then a round trampoline is the best but if you are a gymnast and want it for practice and horning your skill, then a rectangular trampoline is  the better option.

 Safety

You probably want to consider safety when deciding on a rectangular vs round trampoline.The safety of a trampoline does not only depend on the type of trampoline, but the user also plays a huge role in ensuring safety of the trampoline. 

The safety net is also very important while using a trampoline, ensure that you have installed the safety net before you or your children start to use the trampoline.

On the edges of the round trampoline, the height of the jump is reduced, thus pulling people more to the center of the trampoline to have better bounce. This then makes the round trampoline safer while bouncing on the trampoline.

Rectangular trampolines are designed for more mature and experienced people who are aware of the risks and safety precautions that come with using a rectangular trampoline.

 Bounce Factor

The bounce of a trampoline is mostly dependent on the size of the trampoline but also the shape of the trampoline plays a big role on the same.

When you are looking for a trampoline that offers superior bounce, then a rectangular one should the trampoline that you should be looking for. This is because springs on a rectangular trampoline are not activated at the same time while bouncing compared to a round trampoline where all the springs tend to work together during bouncing.

Round trampolines usually have a better bounce at the center of the trampoline as stated earlier this is because it pulls people to the center of the trampoiline.

The rectangular vs round trampoline dilemma should not give you a hard time.  If you want a trampoline for your backyard that will be mostly for recreation, then a round trampoline is best fits the description. On the contrary, rectangeular trampolines are best suited for proffessional athletic activities.

Step 1:  Preparation and area setup.

Trampolines are best installed on a level ground and one that has no rocks or anything that can destroy the trampoline especially while bouncing. I’m sure by this time you have already decided the size of the trampoline you are getting depending on the amount of space you have on your compound. 

Step 2: Remove and lay all the trampoline parts on the ground. 

The trampoline is usually delivered in one box that has the following parts: 

Galvanized steel frame

Trampoline legs

T-section joints

Enclosure poles (Pole sponge and pole sleeves)

Safety net

Ladder

Spring cover pad (Enclosure strings)

Jumping mat

Pole caps or connectors (14 ft trampolines use pole caps while 10 ft trampolines have connectors)

Spring tool

Spanner

Screws

Alanki

Step 3: Setup the Trampoline frame step by step.

Place the trampoline steel frame and the T joints, they should form a circular shape. Ensure you have the same number of steel frames and T joints. The purpose of the T joints is to provide a connection to the trampoline legs. The next part is joining the steel frames together to form a circular shape. Once the perfect circle is formed, the trampoline is starting to take shape and you can now start seeing where the jumping mat and the legs will go. 

The next step is adding the legs, as stated earlier, the T joints act as connectors for the legs. Start by adding one dual leg using the screw and a screwdriver then move to the next leg once done. Kindly ask for assistance when adding the legs.

Ensure the legs are screwed tightly to avoid accidents. 

Step 4: Add the trampoline mats and springs

The trampoline mat and springs are the most important parts of the trampoline so be certain of the following things before you start setting up:

  1. The trampoline jumping mat has no tears or holes. 
  2. The springs are unused, they should brand new. 
  3. You have the spring tool.

If the following things are in check, you can start attaching the trampoline mat and springs. 

Using a spring tool, attach one spring to one side of the trampoline, skip 4 unhooked spring points then attach the next spring. Follow this process until you get to the point that you began from.  After that, attach the rest of the springs. This makes it easier to attach springs to all sides of the trampoline without using so much strength on one side of the trampoline. It also makes the trampoline mat balanced and the mat will not be damaged on one side. 

Add the spring cover pad by tying the strings to the frame securely. This provides safety for the children while playing. 

Step 5: Build the trampoline enclosure

The trampoline support fixtures can be added before or after the trampoline padding. It’s up to you. We will add them at this point. Most modern trampolines have the enclosure support brackets fixed to the trampoline legs which provide extra support and stability.

Attach the first support pole to the trampoline fixture. Line it up correctly and secure the screw into the hole. Make sure it’s tight and feels secure. After securing the bottom of the enclosure poles to the trampoline legs, next, we build up the trampoline enclosure poles to full height. They should slot together and secure quite easily.

Step 6: Add the safety net to the trampoline. 

The purpose of a safety net is to ensure that the child doesn’t bounce off the trampoline while playing. 

Here there are the steel rods and the connectors. At the top of the safety net, there are some spaces where the steel rods and the connectors are to be inserted. Insert the steel rod on one side of the net and it should come out on the other side where you should insert one of the connectors. The purpose of the connectors is to attach all the rods together, connect the net to the trampoline poles and, in the end, form a perfect circular shape. 

Finish this process by securing the net with hooks that easily hook to the springs. Ensure you hook all of them to provide safety. 

Step 6: Attach the trampoline ladder

The trampoline ladder provides easy access to the trampoline for the children. 

This could be the easiest part of the trampoline assembly process, all you need to do while attaching the ladder is to place the ladder adjacent to the trampoline zip the turn the handles to securely hook to the net.
