Hi to all.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying trampoline safely.
In my last two posts I discussed about few simple and easy suggestions for parents and children of how we can use trampoline safely. Hoping that those articles would helpful and interesting for you. You got lot of new informations from those articles. In this current post you will get to know about storage of your trampoline.
It is a very
big question about how to store the trampoline safely. Sometime it becomes a
tedious job to store the trampoline in a safe place without harming it and
their accessories especially in winter season.
When trampoline is not in use
then it is mandatory that it must store watchfully between of winter season because
in this season the cold air, icy weather and fog can damage the trampoline and
other accessories of it.
But now
don’t worry more about the how you will store the trampoline and keep it safe.
I will discuss here few simple points. With these points you will easily store
your trampoline in a safe condition.
Points for Storing the
Trampoline
- Before dismenting the trampoline clean the trampoline, spring mat, jumping mat, edge cover and trampoline cover with warm and foamy water with detergent or liquid for wash and allow them to dry each and every thing. With this most of the insects and their larvaes remove. It is must that all things totally dry before you store the trampoline.
- Always buy not less than one big and extra-large plastic boxes which must have wheels attach at bottom of the box because when you will collect the all things and try to pack whole trampoline kit in a box then it would be full of excess weight and you will not be capable to shift it without any help of others. Each box grasps a minimum weight of 50 gallons for a simple 12-foot large round trampoline, but in case your trampoline is in rectangular shape or larger than 12 feet then the boxes should be bigger. It is your wish if you want to purchase only one large storage space box in the place of more than one box, but always keep in mind about the weight.
- Look a good and safe place for the storage of big boxes. Select that place which is cool, dry and easy to reach that place. Place boxes on selected place when they are empty because it will be heavy after filled. Make sure the storage place for these boxes must be at ground level so that you don't need to take them up any stairs or grades because the whole box you cannot carry up and if you carry single pieces then it will tired you because these are heavy . So select place at ground level. It is must you keep both boxes on same location. With this whenever you need assembled the trampoline then you would not need to search here and there. You will just go to that location and take all the parts.
- Disassemble is also an art or a technique. Lay down all the accessories and pieces of trampoline on the ground in a sorted order. First of all, place all the trampoline springs first in the bottom of 1 box. After that according to their shapes and sizes grouped them all frameworks and lay into box smartly.
- Scatter out your jumping mat, edge cover and safety net in the open area. Pack with many dryer sheets( or you can use here air bubble rolls) on everything. These dryer sheets prevent trampoline from mice and others insects.
- Roll each and every item in above point into the least small packet if possible. If you will roll them then these take small amount of space than folding. Put each and every item turn into a pillowcase and these cases put into the box. These pillowcases never shake the frameworks while boxes moving around.
- All the things keep in a gallon sized zip seal bag and put these bags in box. Most important thing specially write down “Trampoline: 1 of 2" and "Trampoline: 2 of 2" on both boxes so that you can get every item easily.
These are
the few points, which you should follow while storing your trampoline. If you
follow these points then your trampoline can work and stay for a long time.

post, I will discuss some more new things which will definitely helpful for you.
Till then
Keep Jumping
