I was at work, so we agreed that I would stop at Academy on the way home and get a new mat for our trampoline. I mean the frame was good but it is cheaper to buy a new trampoline than it is to get a new mat, new springs, and new spring cover. So that&#8217;s what I did.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5690066242\/\" title=\"IMG_0384 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/5690066242_c56f5c8071-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"IMG_0384\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Son liked the way we were thinking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5690069362\/\" title=\"IMG_0386 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/5690069362_decd22f9ee-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"IMG_0386\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He even helped by taking the old springs off.
