Securing the bottom of your trampoline net is a crucial step for safety, preventing falls through the gap between the net and the jump mat. One common method involves using specific straps around the support poles and the net's edge. This guide focuses on how to perform this step using a pole strap, based on the provided reference.
Securing the Bottom Net Edge
To properly fit the bottom edge of your trampoline net, especially where it connects near the poles and frame rail, you can utilize a pole strap system. This ensures the net is pulled taut and secured around the perimeter.
Here's the specific method described:
- Prepare the Strap: Begin with a 10 and 2 ft pole strap.
- Create a Loop: Take one end of the strap and feed it through the looped end of the same strap. Pull it tight enough to form a secure loop.
- Secure Around the Pole: Position the newly formed loop and secure it firmly around the trampoline support pole. (Based on the video title, this process also implicitly connects the net to the trampoline rail).
- Wrap the Net: Once the strap is secured around the pole, proceed to wrap the strap around the bottom edge of the trampoline net. This action helps to hold the net close to the frame and secure it in place.
By following these steps for each support pole around your trampoline, you can effectively secure the bottom of the safety net, closing the gap and enhancing user safety. This method provides a sturdy attachment point for the net's lower section, complementing the top attachments and pole sleeves.
