FAQs
Can I use this with any trampoline?
Yes, this kit is designed to be universally compatible with most trampoline shapes and sizes between 8ft and 14ft in diameter.
How do I fill the bladders?
You simply fill them with water. A hose can be used, and you should fill them to a level that provides sufficient weight without over-inflating the PVC material.
What happens if the water freezes?
If the water freezes, it can expand and damage the PVC bladders. It is recommended to empty the bladders before temperatures drop below freezing.
How many bladders come in the kit?
The kit includes 3 large PVC water bladders.
How do I attach the anchors to the trampoline?
The kit comes with adjustable tie straps that you secure around the trampoline frame and connect to the filled water bladders.
Can I leave the water in during winter?
Only if the temperature is guaranteed to stay above freezing. It is safer to empty the bladders during winter months to prevent damage from frost.
Where can I get replacement parts or support?
Sportspower UK offers a Spare Parts service and Consumer Help Line. You can contact them at Tel: 0330 0904420 or support@sportspowerfit4kids.com.
Troubleshooting
Anchor not providing enough stability
Ensure all three bladders are filled to their optimal level and the tie straps are securely tightened around the frame. Check that bladders are positioned close to the trampoline legs.
Water bladder leak
Inspect the bladder for any punctures or tears. Minor leaks may be repairable with a suitable PVC patch kit. If significantly damaged, consider replacing the bladder.
Straps feel loose
Re-thread the straps through the buckles and tighten them firmly. Ensure the straps are correctly positioned on the trampoline frame for maximum grip.
Trampoline still moves significantly in wind
While the anchors add stability, they are not designed for extreme weather. For very high winds, consider temporarily disassembling or moving the trampoline to a more sheltered location if possible.

Care:
- Regularly check the water levels in the bladders, especially after periods of heavy use or extreme temperatures.
- If temperatures are expected to fall below 0°C (32°F), empty the water bladders completely to prevent them from freezing and potentially bursting.
- Clean the bladders with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspect the tie straps for wear and tear periodically and replace if damaged.
- For storage, ensure the bladders are completely dry before deflating or storing to prevent mold or mildew.
