How to Move a Trampoline

Published 2026-06-19 · Best Movers LA editorial team

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.

Disassemble in order

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.

Pack the parts

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.

Photograph and bag everything

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.

Move it or replace it?

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.
