Trampoline Replacement Mats

When To Purchase A Trampoline Replacement Mat

During the course of owning a trampoline you will find that certain parts will need replacing. For trampolines that are older than eight years, most if not all of the parts comprising the trampoline will need to be either replaced or repaired. If the map is beyond repair then it should be replaced. You should refer to the original documentation that came with the trampoline in order to find out the specifics of your mat. Always try to obtain the replacement from the original manufacturer. In many cases the original manufacturer may not be in business anymore or cannot obtain a suitable replacement for you because your particular model is no longer in production. In this case you should consult a reputable trampoline dealer. If you have the relevant information for them, they should be able to replace your mat within one or two weeks.

Durability And Safety Of Discount Replacement Trampoline Mats

Generally, the cheaper the mat, the less durable and safe it is likely to be. Safety is not an issue that you want to comprise when looking for a trampoline replacement mat. The cheaper mats are much more vulnerable to environmental deterioration and you may want to purchase a cover that blocks the harmful effects of sunlight, or move the trampoline to a shaded area that doesn’t receive much light. The best method to ensure safety is to replace the existing mat with the same mat from the manufacturer you bought the trampoline from. If you are happy with the overall performance of the mat, then replace with the same model mat. It’s a matter of putting safety before money. The risk you run with buying a cheaper replacement mat far outruns that of buying a more expensive one that will guarantee you and your family’s safety.

Cost Of Replacing Trampoline Mats

The cost of replacing a trampoline mat can vary and usually depends on the size and the number of rings that are needed. The larger rectangular mats are usually the most expensive, while the smaller rounder mats are the cheapest. Prices can be as low as $120 and can go much higher. If you shop around, you’ll most likely find a trampoline vendor who has discounted some of their inventory. This is a sure fire way to save money and at the same time make sure you are not sacrificing quality and safety.
