How to order the right Trampoline Mat (jump mat)

There are four pieces of information (reference diagram-1) you’ll need in order to select the right replacement mat for your system:

How to order the right trampoline mat

1) Frame size (Referecne A in Diagram-1). The frame size refers to the diameter of the metal frame supporting your trampoline. You can find your frame size by standing on one side of your trampoline frame and measuring directly across to the other side. For square, rectangle or oval trampolines, your frame size measurement is the length and width (L x W) of the metal frame supporting your trampoline system.

2) Number of Rings (Referecne B in Diagram-1). Refers to how many springs your trampoline system requires. This means either counting the rings on your old mat, counting the number of springs you have, or counting the number of spring attachment "holes" that you have located around the perimeter of your metal frame.

3) Spring length (Referecne C in Diagram-1). To get your spring size, measure one of your springs (when it is un-stretched) from the end of one hook to the other. This measurement is your spring size.

4) Mat size (Referecne D in Diagram-1). This is the measurement of your old mat diameter or, the (L x W) if your mat is square, rectangle or oval. 

NOTE: If your missing your mat altogether you can still shop for replacement mats using the first three measurements.

Once you have these measurements, you’re ready to shop for your trampoline mat. All you have to do is find the trampoline mat that matches your trampoline’s measurements. If you have any questions at all, just give us a call at (800) 473-5867 9-5 PST or send a message anytime to customerservice@trampolinepro.com.


How to order the right trampoline Spring Pad (spring safety pad)

Typically there are two types of spring pads: 1) Spring pads that are specifically designed to fit all frames with no enclosure poles, or the enclosure ploes are mounted on the outside of the trampoline frame, and 2) spring pads that are designed with cuts-outs to accommodate enclosure poles.

When shopping for trampoline spring pads the size of the pad directly refers to the size of the metal frame supporting your trampoline system. Reference Diagram-2.

For round trampolines, this means finding the diameter of the round metal frame. Stand on one side of the trampoline and measure directly across to the other side. This measurement is your spring pad size.

For square, rectangle and oval trampolines, your spring pad measurement is the length and width (L x W) of the square metal frame supporting your trampoline system. Use this measurement to shop for your spring pad size.

You should have the following information when our ready to shop for a trampoline spring pad

1) Do yo need a spring pad that will fit a frame with no enclosure poles or that have the poles mounted on the outside of the frame, or...

How to order replacement trampoline safety nets and full safety enclosure kits

Frame Size. For round trampolines, the frame size refers to the diameter of the round metal frame supporting your trampoline. You can find your frame size by standing on one side of your trampoline frame and measuring directly across to the other side. Reference Diagram-4.

For square, rectangle or oval trampolines, your frame size measurement is the length and width (L x W) of the metal frame supporting your trampoline system. 

Enclosure System Type. Trampoline enclosure systems come in all shapes and sizes. To find the replacement net right for you, you need to know what type of enclosure system your trampoline has. This means finding out how your enclosure net is supported. Is your enclosure net supported by poles that form an arch around the perimeter of your trampoline? Are your enclosure poles straight up and down? Or do you have poles that are straight, but have a slight curve towards the center at the top? Do you have poles with a slight curve at the top and a ring around the top that slides through a sleeve sewn to the net?

Number of Poles. Once you know how your enclosure net is supported, you need to know how many poles your trampoline has. If you have arches, buy the net that is designed to fit the same number of arches as your trampoline. If you have straight up and down poles, or poles with a slight curve at the top, count how many you have, and buy the net that has attachments for the same number of poles.

Attachment Type. Next, check out how your old net attached to these enclosure poles. Do the poles slide through sleeves that are sew to the net, or are there straps used to secure the net to the poles?

Brand. If you happen to know your trampoline brand, use that to confirm that the net you have selected is compatible with your trampoline system. Trampoline systems can last for many years, but sometimes they get warn out and often discarded before getting replaced. If you don’t know or don’t remember your brand, you can rely on the measurements and pole type system to get a replacement net that will fit your system.


NOTE: if your ordering a full trampoline enclosure kit, (net and poles) you will need to know your frame size, your frame leg pole diameter (Width of the poles) and how many legs your frame has.
