Explore the reasons why your trampoline loses its elasticity
First of all, we need to judge why the trampoline loses its elasticity. Two references are provided below.
1.1 Jump mat
The jumping cloth loses its elasticity. Usually the safe service life of a trampoline is three years, but in the process of use, the jumping cloth may accelerate the aging due to various reasons (overloaded users, often eroded by rain, sun exposure, A sharp object is scratched...) If the jumper has lost its elasticity due to these reasons, we recommend replacing it with a jumper.
1.2 Spring
The spring will gradually lose its elasticity during long-term use. When you find that your springs don't contract well, you need to replace them promptly.
