A trampoline looks unmovable, but it comes apart into manageable pieces with the right approach (and a spring tool). The question is whether it's worth moving — for a newer one, usually yes.
Take it apart in reverse of assembly: remove the safety net and poles first, then use a spring tool to detach the springs (pulling them by hand is how people get hurt), then lift off the mat, and finally unbolt the frame and legs into sections. Keep all springs, bolts and hardware in labeled bags.
Bundle and tie the frame poles together, fold the mat and net, and box the springs and hardware (they're heavy — use a small sturdy box). Pad anything that could scratch or poke. The disassembled trampoline is bulky but flat-packs reasonably in a truck.
Take photos as you disassemble and keep the parts together — a trampoline with missing hardware is frustrating to rebuild. If you've lost the original instructions, the photos are your reassembly guide.
For a newer or higher-end trampoline, moving it is worth the effort. For an older, rusted or basic one, the labor and truck space may cost more than a replacement — and many people leave or donate it. If you do move it, our crews can transport the disassembled pieces as part of the move. See garage packing and what movers won't move.
Disassemble it in reverse of assembly: remove the net and poles, use a spring tool to detach the springs, lift off the mat, and unbolt the frame into sections. Bag all hardware and bundle the poles.
Strongly recommended — a spring tool detaches the springs safely. Pulling them by hand is awkward and a common way to pinch fingers or strain.
For a newer or higher-end trampoline, yes. For an older, rusted or basic one, the disassembly labor and truck space may cost more than replacing it — many people donate or leave it.
Photograph it as you disassemble, and keep all springs, bolts and hardware in labeled bags bundled with the frame. The photos double as a reassembly guide if you've lost the instructions.
