What’s going on |
Quick fix / cure |
Warranty notes |
Safety net tears / sags / zip won’t close |
Nets age (UV), snag or storm stress; Comfort net can be mis-threaded at the pole top |
Re-thread the top elastic correctly (Comfort) to restore height; replace torn net or failed zipper; inspect/replace pole foam & caps |
Nets/accessories don’t get extended frame warranty; typical functionality cover ~1–2 yrs (region-dependent). Weather/UV wear usually excluded. |
Fibreglass hoop (Deluxe net) snapped / pole bent |
Impact or wind load; occasional part fatigue |
Replace the fibreglass rod and/or the affected upper/lower pole section; add/upgrade anchor kit; drop the net in storms |
Storm/wind damage is commonly excluded; material faults may qualify. |
Jump mat fraying / stitching pulling / D-rings (D-hooks) loosening |
End-of-life mat or local overload |
Stop use; replace mat (match size + spring count + TwinSpring vs Solo). D-ring pull-out accelerates further damage |
Manufacturing defects may be covered; wear/sunlight damage generally excluded.
|
Springs stretched / broken / squeaky |
Normal fatigue; corrosion; dry spring hooks |
Replace broken or badly stretched springs (match type: Goldspring Solo vs TwinSpring). For squeaks: tighten joints and lubricate spring hooks/clevis points |
Manufacturing defects covered; rust/wear often excluded. |
Padding (edge) flattening / cracking / UV fade |
Foam & PVC age outdoors |
Replace pads (match model/size). Store pads and net off the frame in winter when possible |
Sunlight/weather wear commonly excluded from warranty. |
Frame surface rust / corrosion at joints |
Coastal exposure, chipped coating, water traps |
Clean, treat & repaint small spots; check inside legs. Replace affected frame sections if structural |
Coverage varies by region; some retailers list rust-through covered (cosmetic rust not), but BERG PDFs list rust excluded. Check your local policy. |
FlatGround / InGround: soft bounce, water pooling, pit settling |
Poor pit sizing/drainage or edge support |
Re-level shelf, add drainage (soakaway/pipe), stabilize walls (blocks/shuttering). Keep pit clear of debris |
Installation issues aren’t product defects; not a warranty matter. |
Missing parts / DOA |
Packing or carrier miss |
Keep all packaging; contact support within 2 weeks with serial no. & proof of purchase; or contact the dealer you bought from |
BERG DOA guidance + dealer route for purchases via retailers. |
How to get parts (Ireland & official)

Fast fixes you can do today

Wind plan: Fit an anchor kit and drop the net ahead of storms to prevent bent poles/torn nets.

Stop squeaks: Tighten all joints; add a light lubricant to spring hooks (avoid the mat); replace any deformed springs.
-
Keep nets/pads healthier: Remove or cover in winter; re-thread Comfort net tops correctly to avoid sag.
