move them down once space? I need you to picture that happening for a second and tell me what difference it would make.

Alright I have a round trampoline right? So when I made it bouncier, I took off the mat first. Then I made the springs be V shapes instead.  The part where two springs are in the same hook is on the trampoline mat.  Do V's on the whole thing but make sure you skip one loop ring after every V. Make sense?

my nextdoor neighbour has one of those things and i super creepily asked if i could go round and use it. (his kids just watched me and my friend on their trampoline). but the bounce is pretty standard the only thing is the shape makes it slightly uneven so if you land kinda spazo then it's harder to stay up. but they are pretty safe

     They might have just put it together on uneven ground, or it might have just not sunk into the ground yet.  When I first put mine together, you could see a bit of a concave in the mat, but it was nothing you'd notice while jumping on it.  And as I jumped on it and the legs got beaten down into the dirt a bit, it leveled out. 
     And as far as safety, they're pretty idiot proof, almost nothing to hurt yourself on, no metal bars to speak of.  Though my arm did go between the edge of the mat and the net once...I scraped up my whole forearm.  That's just about the worst it's gotten though, except for subluxating my shoulder mid-air, but that had nothing to do with the tramp itself.
