I used trampoline springs .
Now I have enough springs for probably five presses . 14' trampoline have about 90 springs. However time to looking for one, driving, take it apart, get rid of stuff you don't need( BTW trampoline make very nice cover ). May not worse your time
Springs can be bought at Walmart

I am sorry, but there must be something wrong with this company mcmaster. I have never heard of a company that does not want to ship to other countrys..?

Ya, mcmaster is f#@ked, you can't buy from there if you're not a yank.
They cancelled my order a while back 'cause my credit card was from a Canadian bank. I have a shipping address in Montana. But no go.
I guess they don't need the money!


New tramp springs are pretty cheap

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)

Same thing with me . I argued McMaster staff on the phone to the point where they agreed to finally ship to my friend in the US and charge my Canadian credit card. Product showed up, but my card was never charged. 2 months later she(Natalie, my shipping address in NJ) gets a collections letter. I called them and basically said charge my Canadian credit card or I will harm your innocent family's. Surprise.....they charged it. Just had to go all terrorist on them. Yanks Eh?

Have you checked TSC or Princess Auto if your in Canada? I cleared my TSC one night and had to wait a few weeks and go back and clear them out again to get what I needed...
