Trampoline Basketball: Installing A Net On Your Springfree Trampoline

how to install basketball net on springfree trampoline

Adding a basketball hoop to your Springfree Trampoline is a great way to enhance your bouncing experience. Before you begin, it's important to select the ideal location for your basketball hoop, ensuring there's ample space around the trampoline for retrieving the ball and avoiding any obstacles. The installation process can be done by one person but is much easier with two, and takes around 30 minutes. You'll need to remove the net rods, install the hoop, and then carefully put the net back up, securing it with the C-clips. You can refer to the Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop Manual, or use the free BILT app for 3D, step-by-step instructions.

Select mounting rods

Before you begin the installation, it is important to select the ideal location for your basketball hoop. Ensure there is ample space around the trampoline for retrieving the ball and avoid placing the hoop where the ball might hit obstacles or fences. On round trampolines, avoid positioning the hoop in front of the zipper opening to ensure easy access.

Now, select two adjacent net rods to be your mounting rods. These rods will support the hoop and determine where the hoop will be located on the trampoline. Carefully inspect the plastic sleeves covering the net rods for any cracks or damage, as these can affect the stability of your setup. If you notice any issues, it is important to contact Springfree to obtain replacement parts. Do not proceed with the installation if you find any damage, as it could compromise the safety and stability of your trampoline.

Once you have chosen your mounting rods, you can proceed to the next step of placing the hoop.

Remove net rods

To remove the net rods from a Springfree Trampoline, follow these steps:

  • Remove the C-clips: Start by removing the white C-clips from their sockets on the net rod. Be sure to do this carefully, as there will be tension in the rod.
  • Lift the net rods: Carefully lift the bottom of the black net rods out of their sockets. Allow the net to rest on the trampoline mat. It is important to handle the rods with care to avoid any injuries from the tension.
  • Remove the net: From the top edge of the net, remove the net rods from the net rod pockets. Fold each net rod once it is removed. It is crucial to never remove a black net rod from its net rod pocket while it is under tension.
  • Lower the net: Starting at a corner, carefully pull the top edge of the net down over the edge of the mat. Continue around the trampoline until the net is sitting at the bottom of the mat rods. Ensure you do not remove the trampoline's legs before this step.
  • Remove mat rods: This step will require two people. Remove the mat rods, starting with the first mat rod at a blue tag on the mat. If your trampoline does not have tags, reference the break in the frame pieces. Keep a steady grip on the rod until it is in a resting position to avoid any injuries.

Note: If you are having difficulty removing the enclosure net rod, try twisting the ball end of the rod and pulling to release it. Alternatively, pour water into the net rod pocket to allow the webbing to absorb and expand, making it easier to remove.

Install the hoop

Installing a basketball hoop on a Springfree Trampoline requires careful preparation and a clear understanding of the steps involved. Here is a detailed guide to help you through the process:

Firstly, ensure you have all the necessary parts by checking the contents of the basketball hoop box. Lay out all the components and identify each piece to make sure nothing is missing. It is also recommended to have an extra pair of hands to assist with the installation, making the process easier and ensuring the hoop is mounted securely and correctly.

Before starting, select two adjacent net rods that will serve as the mounting rods for the hoop. Carefully lift the bottom of the black net rods out of their sockets, being mindful of the tension in the rods, and let the net rest on the trampoline mat. Then, place the hoop face down inside the two selected mounting rods.

Secure the hoop by snapping the rim straps under the edge of the backboard. For round trampolines, it is recommended to position the hoop opposite the entryway, while for oval or square models, choose any curved frame section. These mounting rods will provide support for the hoop.

Place the hoop inside the net and prepare for the installation of the large brackets by emptying the contents of the hardware bag onto the trampoline mat. Follow the instructions in your manual to identify the required parts.

Finally, attach the plastic clamps to secure the net and hoop assembly. Clip the first plastic clamp just below the net rod pocket, and then clip the second clamp approximately five inches below the first one.

By following these steps, you will have successfully installed the basketball hoop on your Springfree Trampoline. Remember to refer to your trampoline accessory manuals and installation videos for further clarification if needed.

Reinsert C-clips

Reinserting the C-clips is an important step in installing a basketball net on a springfree trampoline. This is because the C-clips help to secure the net in place, ensuring that it is safely attached to the trampoline.

To reinsert the C-clips, first, identify them within the trampoline's parts. The C-clips are typically white in colour and are located on the net rod sockets. Once you have located the C-clips, carefully lift the bottom of the black net rods out of the net rod sockets. It is important to be cautious during this step as there will be tension in the rods.

After removing the net rods, you can lower the net so that it is lying on top of the trampoline mat. This step ensures that the net is safely out of the way while you work on reinserting the C-clips. With the net safely lowered, you can now focus on putting the C-clips back into their designated sockets.

Carefully insert the white C-clips into their respective sockets, making sure they are securely fastened. Once the C-clips are in place, you can move on to the next step of adjusting the verticality of the backboard, if needed.

Adjust the hoop

Now that you have assembled the trampoline, you need to ensure that the hoop is level. If the hoop is not level, you can adjust its verticality using the straps. The first strap is the stabilising bar strap, and the second strap is located above the first strap, behind the backboard. Adjust these straps until the hoop is level.

It is important to note that the process of adjusting the hoop may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Springfree Trampoline and the basketball hoop you are installing. Therefore, it is always a good idea to refer to the instruction manual or assembly guide specific to your trampoline model. These guides typically provide detailed instructions and illustrations that can help you through the process.

Additionally, some Springfree Trampoline models may have different mechanisms for adjusting the hoop. For example, certain models may have adjustable brackets or hinges that allow you to adjust the height and angle of the hoop. In such cases, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper adjustment.

If you encounter any difficulties during the adjustment process or have any specific questions about your trampoline model, you can reach out to Springfree Trampoline customer support for further assistance. They can provide model-specific advice and ensure that your basketball hoop is installed securely and safely.
