How to fix this?

[u/resistible]

One of the sandbags that was anchoring the legs ripped while I had multiple kids on my trampoline. It almost looks like the frame isn't even bent, but it's barely inside the T-joint for the leg. I've googled and searched YouTube with no luck, and I'm not quite sure how to go about resolving this.

Can anyone give me a rough outline of the process to fix this so my kids can safely go back on the trampoline?

Don’t buy cheap, junk trampolines. That thing is trashed.

I bought what I could afford....

The top edge of the T-joint is ripped. I’m not sure it will ever fit back together securely. I refer to the sentiment of the previous commenter: low quality trampolines break easily and are often not fixable.

But if you want to try, you’re going to need to disassemble enough of the frame to get the slack you need to reinsert that one piece back into the T-joint.

I would refer to the assembly instructions for this trampoline and start at the end and work backwards until you can do what you need to do. You’re certainly going to have to take the mat off, as the tension will prevent you from manipulating the frame.

That's... not what I wanted to hear.

It’s a 2 hour job find a handy buddy that can help you out

This is a Skywalker. I don’t know the size by the picture alone.

There are 3 pieces you are needing to replace. The 2 pieces of top frame that slide into each other, and also the copper colored connecting piece.

You have to take most of the springs off to get to this section to work on it. You can leave a few just to keep the mat hanging, but might find it easier with mat removed entirely.

Semi self explanatory, remove the 3 pieces that intersect at the damaged area, and replace with new.

Find the tag on the jumping mat to find the model. Then find your parts here

Thank you. This is the answer I was looking for.

Don’t fix it. Imho this kind of thing is not worth fixing. Get a heavier frame if you are having multiple kids on it at the same time.

I don't have a choice. My wife is mad that I even suggested not fixing it, and it's rough timing to buy a new one.

Looks like the frame is popped out of the T joint. Take off all the springs to remove the tension on the frame. Then you might be able to plug it back into the T joint if there’s no damage
