I took down the trampoline when I started to redo the backyard because it was in the way. The stitching had come apart on the edges of the mat, and so it was unsafe. The springs were popping off all over the place. The kids have missed it. It's been gone all summer. I finally finished the place for the trampoline and decided it was time to get it back up.
I had anticipated maybe getting it repaired at a shoe place in St. George, but it was closed when I went by and was going to be closed for two weeks. So I decided to go to another trampoline store that someone had told me about and they talked me into a trampoline with a three-year warranty. So I purchased it and I went to go get it 2 days later. We came home and the kids wanted it up so bad that even though I wasn't feeling very good I ended up putting together the trampoline with Mikayla's help. It took 2 tries. Apparently there's the good way to put on trampoline springs and the way I tried to do it, which was wrong. I figured you just put them on, one right after the other. You're supposed to go around, spreading them out and attaching every 5th spring, and keep adding as you go around several times. I spent the rest of the day in bed because I was so worn out but look how happy they are!
My kids and every neighborhood kid on the street have been on it constantly!
