Problems with trampoline enclosure....?




just me


We have a 10' Bounce Pro trampoline with enclosure. We got it in January and my kids dad said "I'm going to really make this net tight so it looks good." Guess what happened? The first time my tiny 4 year old bounced into it it ripped. Not enough to fall through but a head size hole. Another one is starting near one of the other places where it ties to the pole and one of the ties has come away completely. I wanted to order another net and have it put on correctly (some slack) and finally found one. For ONE HUNDRED dollars! What? The entire set of trampoline and enclosure parts was $206 with TAX AND SHIPPING! Do you know where I can get a net cheaper than that? Also, those blue foam noodle things that are covering the poles - how necessary are they? One is ripping and water had stood inside it so now the pole is rusty. If I took them off and cleaned the pole with CLR really good would they rust again in the rain? I can't make the noodle things stay in place so that water won't get in.


Answer
Generally they are very expensive. I've actually never seen an enclosure for less than $200 - unless maybe someone has it on clearance.

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer and asking them about replacement parts? That's usually the best route and it pretty much guarentees you'll get the right enclosure for your specific trampoline.

I know it's alot of money but can you really put a price on your childs safety?

Wet Trampoline after rain?




Zain


I just got a Trampoline a few weeks ago, and it was sunny for like a week and a half. Then, it rained for a few days, and it was really boring to spend the time inside while the Trampoline stood all alone outside. When the Sun came out again after it had rained for several days, I started jumping on the Trampoline again, the only problem was, that water came towards me from the Blue "Metal-Protection" on the outer part of the Trampoline, almost everytime I jumped on it. I tried cleaning the Blue "Metal-Protection", because the water was coming from under of it, but I don't know from where. I also tried cleaning the springs, but the water still kept coming. After a few days later, the Water still came from the "Metal-Protection", but not as much as before. I always have a Towel near me when I jump on the Trampoline, to use it when the water drops comes again!

I have a Trampoline with Net surrounding it, and I appriciate all the help/advice in advance :)

The water is coming from different parts of the Blue Plastic, not only from one single place!
And how can the Blue Plastic have holes in it, when the Trampoline is almost new?



Answer
haha exactly the same thing happens to me!
dont worry about it man, if it is the same as my problem its just the foamey stuff inside the blue plastic has taken up the water, just like a sponge :)
if the water comes out again just go to the source and stand on the blue plastic, my guess is that its coming through a hole there :D
if u want it to stop just seal it up with some duck tape of sumit :)
hope this helps
