How To Store A Rebounder?

Ever tripped over a rebounder lurking in the hallway? Or tried to slide one under the bed only to find it won’t quite fit?

We get it. As parents (and adults who love a sneaky bounce), finding space for a rebounder for adults or kids can feel like a puzzle. The good news? Storing a rebounder is easier than you think.

The short answer: keep it clean, dry, and covered. Whether you’ve got a foldable or a fixed-frame model, there are plenty of simple ways to store it without turning your home into an obstacle course.

Let’s dive in.

Storing a Rebounder: Solutions for Any Space

Storage for Foldable Rebounders

How to Properly Fold a Rebounder

Folding rebounders are designed to make life easier — but only if you fold them the right way. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions so you don’t strain the hinges or warp the frame. Think of it like folding a pushchair: quick and easy when you know the knack, but a nightmare if you force it.

Compact Storage in Small Spaces

Once folded, you’ve got options. Slide it under the bed, stand it neatly in a cupboard, or tuck it behind a sofa. A rebounder bag is a game-changer here — it keeps dust off and stops anyone mistaking it for a UFO when they open the wardrobe.

Storing Non-Foldable Rebounders

Using Stacking and Wall Mounts

Non-folding rebounders are a bit trickier, but still manageable. If you’ve got wall space, a wall mount or hook can turn your rebounder into a tidy, flat “feature” instead of floor clutter. Alternatively, stack it against a wall in a garage or spare room.

Disassembling for Long-Term Storage

If you don’t plan on bouncing for a while, consider taking it apart. Removing the legs or frame pieces makes it far easier to squeeze into tight spaces. Just keep the bolts and screws in a labelled bag — trust us, future-you will be grateful when it’s time to put it back together.

Maintenance and Care During Storage

Cleaning Before Storage

Before you stash your rebounder away, give it a quick clean. A bit of warm soapy water on the mat and frame works wonders. Dry it thoroughly before storage — damp spots are the fast-track to rust or mould.

Protecting Your Rebounder from Damage

Preventing Rust on Springs and Frame

Moisture is the enemy of springs and metal frames. Store your rebounder somewhere cool and dry. Garages and sheds can work fine, but only if they’re not damp. If they are, it’s worth investing in a dehumidifier pack or cover.

Avoiding UV and Moisture Exposure

Thinking about outdoor storage? It’s doable — but only if you’re smart about it. Always use a high-quality waterproof cover and keep it out of direct sunlight, which can weaken the mat over time. Make it a habit to check under the cover now and then. A quick inspection can save you from nasty surprises like mildew or cracked fabric.

Conclusion

Storing a rebounder doesn’t need to be a headache. Whether it’s foldable or fixed, a little planning goes a long way.

Keep it clean, keep it dry, and give it a proper “home” — whether that’s under the bed, on the wall, or snug under a waterproof cover outside. Do that, and your rebounder will stay in great shape and ready for action whenever you are.

So next time you want a bounce, you won’t be tripping over it in the hallway — you’ll know exactly where it is, and it’ll be good to go.
