Trampolines provide hours of fun and exercise for both kids and adults. However, over time, they may start producing unwanted noises, such as squeaking or creaking. This article explores the causes of these sounds and offers solutions to minimize them.
Causes of Cracking Trampolines
Instabiliteit van het Trampoline Frame
A common cause of creaking sounds is an unstable frame. If one of the legs is not fully supported, movement in the frame can create noise. Even a 1 cm gap under a leg can lead to noticeable sound issues.
Friction between Metal Parts
Squeaking noises can also result from friction between metal components, such as where the springs attach to the frame. This friction occurs due to movement and can worsen over time.
Identify where the sound is coming from
Have someone jump on the trampoline and , one by one, spray all joints with silicone spray or WD-40. Repeat until the noise stops, so you can find the exact cause.
Solutions for Noise Reduction
1. Stabilizing the Frame
Make sure the trampoline is on a level surface and that all legs are evenly supported. This reduces movement and thus cracking.
2. Lubrication of Trampoline Springs
Applying lubricant to moving parts can reduce friction and noise. Use copper grease or petroleum jelly for this purpose:
- Movement in the frame → Try to resolve this before applying lubricant.
- Kopervet → Zorgt voor langdurige smering en maakt onderdelen gemakkelijker los. Vooral effectief bij metalen verbindingen.
- Vaseline → A good alternative that reduces friction but must be reapplied more frequently.
Apply the lubricant to the parts of the frame that slide together and at the points where the springs enter the frame. Keep in mind that with moving parts, such as springs, the grease may disappear over time and need to be reapplied.
Prevent Edge Cushion Flapping
A flapping edge pad occurs because air escapes past the jumping mat during jumping and lifts the pad. This can be prevented by:
- Using an AkroVent Jumping Mat
This mat has an open structure that provides effective air ventilation. This moves the air through the mat instead of along it, reducing chatter. - Placing Straps
By attaching four straps under the edge cushion (for example, in a rectangle or octagon for round trampolines), the cushion is lifted slightly, reducing the clatter on the springs. - Raising the Trampoline
If replacing the jumping mat is not an option, raising the trampoline may offer a solution. Placing the trampoline slightly higher allows air to escape more easily under the trampoline, reducing air pressure and preventing the clattering sound.
Innovative Trampoline Solutions
For those looking for a durable solution to clattering noises, Akrobat offers high-quality trampolines with advanced technologies:
🔹 Akrobat Primus Flat to the Ground Trampoline
This trampoline combines the AkroSpring Pro suspension system with the AkroVent jumping mat, resulting in excellent jumping characteristics. Suitable for beginners and professional athletes alike, it fits seamlessly into any garden thanks to its flat design.
🔹 Akrobat XCITYX Flat to the Ground Trampoline
