How To Move A Trampoline Without Taking It Apart

Why consider not taking apart the trampoline?

• Time-Saving: Dismantling and reassembling a trampoline can be a time-consuming process. Moving it without dismantling is quicker and more convenient.
• Avoiding Disassembly Challenges: Trampolines can have complex designs, and disassembling them may require specific tools or expertise. Moving without dismantling avoids potential challenges associated with disassembly.
• Preserving Structural Integrity: Repeated disassembly and reassembly can put stress on the trampoline's frame and components. Moving without dismantling helps preserve the structural integrity of the trampoline.
• Reduced Risk of Misplacement: When you disassemble a trampoline, there's a risk of misplacing or losing small components like bolts or springs. Moving it without dismantling minimizes the chances of losing parts.

How To Move A Trampoline safety

1. Check the Area:

Before attempting to move the trampoline, ensure the area is clear of obstacles and hazards. Remove any objects that might get in the way during the move.

2. Gather Necessary Tools:

• A friend or two to assist you.
• Moving straps or heavy-duty rope.
• Furniture sliders or cardboard pieces.

3. Secure the Trampoline:

Use moving straps or heavy-duty rope to secure the trampoline frame. Wrap the straps around the frame and tighten them to ensure stability.

4. Lift One Side:

With the help of your friend(s), lift one side of the trampoline slightly. Place furniture sliders or pieces of cardboard underneath the trampoline legs on that side.

5. Slide the Trampoline:

Slowly slide the trampoline to the desired location. If you encounter resistance, check for obstacles or adjust the furniture sliders.

6. Rotate and Repeat:

Once you've moved the trampoline a short distance, rotate it to face the new direction. Repeat the lifting and sliding process until you reach the desired location.

7. Secure in Transit:

As you move the trampoline, periodically check the straps or ropes to ensure they remain tight and secure.

8. Lower the Trampoline:

Once the trampoline is in its new location, carefully lower it to the ground. Remove the straps or ropes.

9. Check for Stability:

After moving the trampoline, make sure it is on a level surface. Adjust the position if needed, and check that all legs are firmly on the ground.

10. Test for Safety:

Before allowing anyone to use the trampoline, perform a safety check. Ensure the frame, mat, and springs are in good condition.

 

Deciding whether to dismantle your trampoline or move it fully assembled involves weighing the advantages and disadvantages based on your specific situation.

If time-saving and convenience are crucial, and you have the necessary resources and help, moving without dismantling might be the right choice.
