Start by removing the canvas of your broken trampoline, then flip the trampoline upside down and use it to make a simple and little garden.

You can be even more creative and add some fencing around the sides, or use your mind to do whatever you think of and even the sky won’t be a limit to your ideas.

This is a childhood dream of so many people including me. Create a swinging bed that can offer a totally new sleeping experience, different than any you have ever tried. You can make a small one using kid trampolines or a king size one with the big trampoline. Make sure that your roof and room structure can support your weight alongside the mattress and the trampoline.

11. Movie screen

This method requires a projector. But, if you have one, then you can step up movie nights to the next level, just imagine watching movies with your family or partner outside laying down on grass during the summer. Make sure to get rid of the trampoline’s fabric and replace it with a white tarp, then just play the movie you want to watch and enjoy.
12. Hang porch plants

This method requires the springs of the trampoline only. You can use the springs to hang porch plants easily. The springs will actually allow the plants to sway a little bit with the wind, but if you attach heavy plants then they will remain steady all the time.
