How Long Should a Good Garden Trampoline Realistically Last?
 

A trampoline spends years exposed to rain, sunlight, temperature changes, and regular use, so durability seems difficult to judge when buying one new. Which components normally start showing wear first—the mat, springs, enclosure, padding, or frame?

A high-quality mat and UV-damaged padding usually go first, followed by rust on the springs if the frame isn't galvanised. I bought my current setup from trampolines and the frame is still solid after four years, with only the cover needing replacement. That site breaks down warranty details clearly, so you can compare the weak points before ordering.
