Trampoline Springs

[GML]

Hey does anybody know what kind of springs or mat will make my trampoline bouncier. I was thinking maybe longer and thicker springs but I couldn't find any. Could anyone maybe give me some suggestions or brands. Thanks K+.

If you take the springs you already have and criss-cross them it'll be more bouncy

If you have to cross your springs they're probably beat. Get some new ones.

I was kinda asking what kind of spring (longer, shorter, wider).

stiffer springs for trampolines are harder to come by, you will have to find an old one and salvage the springs from that. they certainly don't make trampolines like they used to. but as mentioned above, you can add more springs from another trampoline. though i do not recommend criss crossing them because they won't last as long as if you do something like this...

l/l l\l l/l l\l l/l l\l l/l

just try out different combinations until you get your desired bounce. you don't need to do every single one because then it will be super stiff.

or if you have two mats the same diameter you could try putting them together and see if that works? i've never had two tramps the same diameter so i haven't been able to try it.

Yeah. It seems like trampolines for the most part went full walmart. I mean there were always some shitty ones. But there seemed to be mostly good ones until 10 or so years ago. ABout the same time a lot of tramps started getting sold with enclosures.
