CARE AND MAINTENANCE
TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To avoid damage to the trampoline and enclosure, do not allow pets or animals inside the enclosure.
Appropriate shoes should be worn inside the enclosure to reduce wear to the trampoline mat (bed). Follow the tram-
poline manufacturer’s recommendations.
Continued exposure over a long period of time to the sun, especially to ultraviolet rays, will shorten the life of the
enclosure fabric. For longer fabric life, store the enclosure when it is not being used. A dry enclosure, properly
stored, will provide the longest life of the fabric, sewing, and hardware. Remove the enclosure from the trampoline
during harsh weather conditions or during long periods of non-use.
Inspect the trampoline enclosure before each use, and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts. The following
conditions could represent potential hazards and increase the possibility of getting hurt:
• missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached netting, enclosure tubes,
foam sleeves or vynil sleeves.
• punctures, frays, tears, or holes worn in the netting or foam sleeves
• deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the netting
• bent or broken enclosure tubes
• sagging netting
• sharp protrusions on enclosure tubes
If any of these conditions exist, the trampoline enclosure should be disassembled
(taken apart) or otherwise protected from being used until the condition is fixed.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
High Wind
It is possible for the trampoline and enclosure to be blown about by high winds. If you expect high winds, move the
trampoline and enclosure to a sheltered location. Disassemble (take down) the enclosure netting. Tie the trampoline
frame down to the ground using ropes and stakes (not included). At least three ropes and three stakes should be
used. The tops of the stakes should be at ground level so that they will not create a tripping hazard. In addition, the
tops of the stakes should be covered, if necessary, so that users will not be hurt by falling onto the stakes. Make
sure to attach the ropes to the top of the trampoline frame: do not simply secure the legs or the bases to the ground
as they can separate from the frame sockets.
Moving the Trampoline and Enclosure
If the trampoline and enclosure are to be moved a long distance, they should first be taken apart. See DISASSEM-
BLY ON PAGE 11. In addition, refer to the trampoline manufacturer’s user’s manual.
