The installation and removal of trampoline springs are quite tricky compared to the other parts. If you don’t know the right way to do it, this might be hazardous too. So, how to put springs on a trampoline safely?

You can install trampoline springs using a spring tool or its alternatives. Hook the spring ends with the frame and mat one by one. And when dismantling the trampoline spring, pull the spring ends by the spring puller or its alternatives and detach them one by one.

Now, I’ll cover the easy ways to install trampoline springs and how to remove trampoline springs quickly.

Before You Get Started…

Let’s know a brief about the trampoline springs’ construction before starting to put on or remove the springs on a trampoline. This will ease the process.

Trampoline springs have two ends- a closed end and an open end. One end of the spring is fixed with the frame slot, and another one is in the v-ring of the mat.

The hook end that is comparatively more curved than the other end is called the closed end, and it usually goes with the v-ring of the mat. And the lesser curved hook end of the trampoline spring is called the open end that is attached to the trampoline frame slot.

A trampoline spring puller is an ideal tool to install or disassemble trampoline springs.

The first four springs assembly is very important. You can do it with or without any tools. Fix one hook end of the spring with a v-ring and another end with the frame hole.

After assembling the first spring, position another spring just opposite the side of the frame and attach it to the mat and frame. Then attach the 3^rd and 4^th springs at the left and right side at the right angle to the 1^st spring. So these four springs form a ‘+’ (plus) arrangement.

Step 3: Add Springs at Every Fourth Position

Now, connect a spring to each fourth slot which means skipping three positions, then add one spring. So, complete the array in this way, moving towards your left. You can use a spring tool or spring puller alternatives to connect the springs in place.

To do it, hook the closed end of the spring to the trampoline frame. Then hook the open end of the spring using a spring puller and pull it until it positions at the frame slot.

Step 4: Install Remaining Springs

You’ve already attached some springs. Still, there are numerous springs to put together the trampoline frame and mat. Now, add springs to these places using the spring puller or any other alternative tool and finish off the spring attachment.

The last couple of springs’ attachments might be quite hard due to the tension of the other assembled springs. So, do it carefully to avoid any injury.

Step 5: Final Checking

After attaching all the springs to the trampoline, check all the springs again that they are assembled well.
