Replacing your trampoline safety pad is one of the most important steps in maintaining a safe jumping environment. A properly fitted pad protects users from exposed springs and reduces the risk of injury.
However, many customers order the wrong size simply because they do not measure correctly.
In this guide, we will walk you through a reliable, step-by-step measurement method to help you choose the perfect replacement safety pad for your trampoline.
Step 1: Measure the Trampoline Frame (Double Verification Method)
The most important rule is:
Always measure the steel frame diameter, not the jumping mat.
How to measure correctly:
To ensure accuracy, follow this method:
-
Measure from one side of the frame, passing through the center, to the opposite side
-
Repeat the measurement in a different direction (rotate 90°)
Why measure twice?
This is important because:
-
Outdoor trampolines may slightly deform over time
-
Ground settling can affect shape
-
Manufacturing tolerances may vary
If the two measurements differ, always use the larger value.
After measuring, match your frame to standard sizes:
-
8 ft
-
10 ft
-
12 ft
-
13 ft
-
14 ft
-
15 ft
-
16 ft
⚠️ Do not rely on old packaging or old safety pads. Always measure again.
⚠️ The ExacMe safety pad is not suitable for non-standard round trampolines, such as 14.6 ft or 16.5 ft
Step 2: Measure Spring Length (Important for Pad Coverage)
Next, measure your trampoline springs.
How to measure:
-
Measure from hook end to hook end
-
Keep the spring in a relaxed (non-stretched) state
Typical spring sizes:
-
5.5 inch
-
6.5 inch
-
7 inch
（The ExacMe safety pad is only suitable for trampolines with spring lengths no greater than 7 inches.）
Why this matters:
Spring length determines:
-
How much surface area needs to be covered
-
How tightly the pad fits
-
Whether springs are fully protected
A properly sized safety pad should fully cover the spring area without exposing metal parts.
If you are still unsure after measuring:
You can measure your old safety pad width as a reference.
However, this is only a secondary reference method.
Important limitations:
Old pads may be inaccurate because:
-
UV exposure can shrink PVC material
-
Foam may compress over time
-
Edges may deform due to long-term use
Therefore, never rely on old pads alone.
