Put on gloves early. **Springs and metal edges** are the main culprits behind scrapes.<\/p>\n
### Remove the Safety Enclosure First<\/p>\n
Most enclosures come off before anything else. **Unclip the net** from the top ring, then unscrew the poles from the frame. If your model has a **top ring with bolts**, loosen those last to avoid a sudden collapse. Set the net and poles aside in a clean, dry spot.<\/p>\n
### Detach the Springs and Jumping Mat<\/p>\n
This is the **most physically demanding step**. Work clockwise in small batches rather than removing springs one at a time\u2014too much tension on one side can warp the frame. Use a **spring pull tool** if you have one; otherwise, a sturdy hook works. Once every spring is free, lift the **jumping mat** straight up and fold it loosely. Never drag the mat across concrete.<\/p>\n
### Disassemble the Frame and Legs<\/p>\n
With the mat gone, the frame is much lighter. **Flip the trampoline** onto its side and remove the **leg bolts** with your screwdriver. Label each leg with tape if you plan to reassemble later. For a detailed walkthrough with photos, this guide on [how to take apart a trampoline](https:\/\/www.mimuplay.com\/how-to-take-apart-a-trampoline-2\/) breaks down each frame type.<\/p>\n
### Pack and Store Components Properly<\/p>\n
Keep **nuts, bolts, and washers in labeled bags**. Store the mat flat, not folded tightly, to protect the stitching. Frame sections should stay dry\u2014**moisture causes rust** faster than anything else. If you’re moving, stack poles together and wrap them with stretch film.<\/p>\n
## Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n
**How long does disassembly take?**

**Do I need to remove the springs before the mat?**
\nYes\u2014releasing the mat first risks **snapping the frame**. Always remove springs while the frame is still anchored.<\/p>\n
**Can I take it apart alone?**
\nSmaller models, yes. For anything over 10 ft, **get a helper** to avoid injury.<\/p>\n
**What if a bolt is rusted?**
