Best Trampoline Replacement Nets (2026): Measure the Poles, Then Buy the Net That Attaches to the Mat

Measure before you buy

Four numbers decide the fit. Frame diameter, outside edge to outside edge across the middle (not the mat). Pole count: 6 or 8 on most 14-15 ft rounds. Pole shape: straight uprights, curved poles with a top ring, or arched pairs. Attachment on the old net: buttons to V-rings on the mat (Skywalker), clips to the mat edge, or sleeves over the poles. Skywalker also fits by model code (its 15 ft kit lists four) and by V-ring count (72 or 96 on a 14 ft), so find the sticker on the frame. Upper Bounce sells the same diameter in separate versions for 6 or 8 poles, curved or straight, inside or outside the frame; buy the wrong one and it does not go on.

How we scored these

The accessories rubric on how we rate: safety design 30% (net mesh, pole sleeves, and above all where it attaches), fit range 20%, material and UV resistance 20%, certification 15%, install reality 15%. No net maker here names ASTM F381 on the replacement page, so every net scores a 3 on certification and the ranking is decided by attachment and fit. Skywalker's complete kit leads because it restores the original buttoned-at-every-spring design with the poles; Upper Bounce's curved-pole net is the best universal option because it installs inside the springs.

Mat-attached vs pole-attached

CPSC's guidance is that enclosures help prevent falls off the trampoline and that pads must completely cover the springs, hooks and frame. A net that attaches to the mat (buttoned to V-rings, sewn, or clipped to the mat edge) puts the springs and pad outside the play area, so the pad rule is about a child climbing on and off, not landing. A net that attaches to the poles outside the pad leaves the pad and springs inside; the child can land on them, and a foot can go through the gap at the mat edge. Upper Bounce sells both and says so in the titles ("installs outside of frame" vs "installs on the inside"); the outside version is the right part only if the frame was built that way. The three designs are explained on best trampolines with an enclosure net.

When to replace the net

UV does it. Warranties tell you the makers' expectation: 6 months (ORCC), 1 year (Skywalker, Upper Bounce, ACON), 2 years (Zupapa), 10 years (AlleyOOP, Springfree). Replace when the mesh tears at the pole sleeves, when the door zipper or clips fail, or when the fabric goes chalky and rips by hand. Replace the pad at the same time if the foam has compressed; the best safety pads page covers those. If the frame is rusting through at the joints, a net will not save it; see best trampolines.

Who should skip all of these

Owners of Jumpflex, ACON, AlleyOOP and Springfree frames, whose makers sell model-specific nets we have not scored because their pages carry no specifications; buy the maker's part by model. Anyone whose frame is not on the fit list; a net that is 1 ft too big sags into the springs. And anyone shopping for a whole enclosure on a frame that never had poles: the Skywalker kit is model-coded, and universal pole kits are a separate purchase.

A net is a consumable, and how often you will buy one depends on the frame underneath it. The warranty terms by brand, and what they imply about service life, are on how long do trampolines last.

Before you order, settle which system you have: net inside or outside the springs, and when to replace a trampoline mat and net covers the signs it is time.
