Your kids begged for it. They pleaded for it. And they cried for it. And you finally gave in and bought them that trampoline they were whining about for months. It cost you a fortune and you can probably count the number of months they actually used the darn thing on your hands.

Now that trampoline your kids so desperately wanted is taking up a huge space in your backyard and it hasn’t been touched in months.

Maybe even years. The first thing you thought was “Hey, I bet I could sell it and make a few bucks back. That way it won’t be a total waste. But you soon realized that this won’t happen. Because your kids broke it since they always find a way to destroy everything.

The good news is that your efforts don’t have to be a total loss and all of the money you spent on that trampoline doesn’t have to go to waste. There are lots of ways you can repurpose an old trampoline, even if it’s broken.

Here are 1o brilliant ways to repurpose a trampoline:
