If you have strong winds in the winter, a strong anchor will keep your trampoline from becoming a safety hazard. Some specialized anchor kits include stakes that will attach the frame of the trampoline to the ground, and these are usually a good and relatively inexpensive precaution that we recommend you take to care for a trampoline in the winter.

All our jumpfly trampolines are equipped with free anchors to help you protect your trampoline in bad weather.

The best spot for your home trampoline is on the grass in your garden, or on another surface that’s soft and level. When picking a location, remember to look around for potential hazards such as overhead cables and wires, washing lines or tree branches.

Please do not install your trampoline on any hard surfaces such as concrete. These surfaces will put additional stress on the frame as you jump, increasing the likelihood of wear and tear.

Start by thoroughly reading the instructions. Each model is a bit different, so this is a great place to start to familiarize yourself with the process. It’s also a good idea to take stock of all the pieces. It can be extremely frustrating to be an hour into assembly to find you’re missing a piece!

Like all DIY things, if it’s your first time it can be a bit tricky to get everything right. One of the biggest problems with trampoline assembly is simply understanding less than perfect instructions. It can also be difficult to get pieces to fit together correctly, or to finish setting up those last couple springs as the mat tightens.
