The Ultimate Backyard Trampoline Parts Checklist
Maintaining a backyard trampoline is a balance of performance and safety. Whether you are dealing with a stretched spring or a sun-damaged mat, using the right components ensures your equipment lasts for years of heavy use. If you have a Skywalker trampoline, we have a dedicated page here.
1. The Bounce System
The jumping mat and springs are the heart of the assembly. UV rays can weaken mat fibers, and metal fatigue can cause springs to lose their recoil over time.
- Mats: Look for 8-row stitching and UV-resistant polypropylene for durability.
- Springs: Use galvanized steel to prevent rust in humid climates.
2. Safety Netting & Padding
If your safety net is frayed or your frame pads have hardened, they can no longer absorb impact effectively. Replacing these is the easiest way to prevent “pinch” injuries from exposed springs.

3. Structural & Access Parts
A safe trampoline needs to be easy to get on and hard to blow away. Ladders prevent kids from climbing the frame unsafely, while anchor kits keep the unit grounded during high winds.
