Kids jumping on trampoline outdoors, enjoying fun and active play in the backyard.

When trampolines reach a certain age, they turn to crap…

You know it, I know it…

But there are certain clever people on this earth that have found ways to re-use the good ole ‘tramp’ to make something else entirely wonderful. See me, I would of just cut mine up with a grinder and taken it to the tip. Not anymore!

Geez, clever bloody people…

1. Turn a trampoline into a swinging hammock

Yes, even trampolines can give you the relaxation you deserve. Give yourself a break! Turn your trampolines into swinging hammocks, because why not?

2. Or, turn your trampoline into a chicken coop

Just dismantle the entire thing and form the greenhouse using half-frames. How big or small it is depends on you!

6. Or a new garden shed

Depending on how many old trampolines you own, you can create a little shed for kids or a big one for your machines!

This is a really easy project to do! Just remove the legs from your old trampoline, cover the matting with a white cloth to serve as screen, and attach the entire thing to a wall or a tree.

8. An igloo (only if you have snow!)

If you live in a place where it snows heavily, take advantage of your old trampoline (and the weather!) by turning it into a make-shift igloo!

9. A garden arbor (I want to do this!)
