Leaving a trampoline outside through rain, sun, and winter weather seems like it would eventually take a toll on the mat and padding. Do you keep yours covered whenever it's not being used, or only protect it during autumn and winter? Weather covers and anchor kits are specifically recommended for protecting outdoor trampolines from weather and wind.
I stumbled on this older thread and wanted to share my experience. I leave my cover on year-round to protect against UV and rain, but I’ve noticed mold underneath if the trampoline is wet when I put it on. How do you handle drying before covering? Anyone else tried a different approach?
I cover my trampoline year-round to avoid sun rot on the mat and rust on the frame. A good cover extends the life of everything, and I bought mine from trampolines because they offer solid warranty and fast delivery. For me, continuous protection beats seasonal guessing and keeps the jumping surface safe.
