Here's what you do, get a sprinkler, put it under the trampoline so it's shooting water up through it. Start jumping, bam.

just dont put it in the middle, cause depending on how high you are bouncing you wouldnt want to hit it.


put it off to the side.

Instead of taking springs out, cross every other pair. Worked wonders for me!

this works, but sometimes will also cause the springs to snap. be cautious when altering bouncy things.

now i know this isnt possible because its summer, but we left mine out one winter and a huge chunk of ice form on it and weighed it down, the next spring there was a lot more noticeable bounce in it.
so maybe put some weights in the center when you are not using it?

instead of matching up each spring with the hgolw that is right infront of it, put it in the whole that is one or two spaces beside it. it creates a ton of tension and the springs form a spiral around the tramp which l;ooks sick on cam

i heard that making a v with the springs works. like putting to springs from the frame to one hole on the mat, having a empty hole in the middle of the V on the frame side...if anyone gets what i just said haha

If you did this to every spring would it not just cause the mat to rotate back to a normal position?

I have had great success with crossing springs.
