Lifespan of Trampolines
A premium quality trampoline can last 3 to 8 years if properly maintained. To maximize longevity, purchase one with a strong, long-lasting frame and regularly inspect and maintain it. Trampolines should be replaced every 5-7 years depending on use and wear.
Types of Trampolines and Lifespan
Low-quality trampolines last 1-3 years. Mid-range ones last 3-7 years within weight limits. High-quality trampolines from reputable brands can last 7-10+ years with care. Inground trampolines can last over 10 years. Factors affecting lifespan include: quality of materials, weather exposure, weight limits, and maintenance. Regular cleaning, safety checks and UV protection can boost lifespan. Replace when parts become unstable or safety issues appear.
Maintenance and Replacement
How often should you replace your trampoline? Trampolines should be replaced every 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality and usage. Inspect your trampoline regularly for any rips, tears, or corrosion in the support hardware. If there are any visible signs of damage, it’s best to replace the trampoline immediately. Additionally, if you notice any exposed metal parts due to rust, replace the trampoline immediately as the metal can cut and injure somebody.
There are several factors that affect how long a trampoline will last, including:
- Quality of materials
- Frequency of use
- Number of users
- Total weight limit
- Exposure to elements
- Maintenance and care
With proper precautions and care, most trampolines can last anywhere from 5-15 years. Key things like checking for damage, UV protection, cleaning, and proper storage can all help extend your trampoline’s lifespan.
