I NEED A STRAP REPAIR KIT. SEND TO 109 WESTERN AVE. WEST MONROE LA.71242.
Yes,where having the same problem with the most of the straps holding the screen up to secure anyone on the trampoline.
I’ve had the same problems with the straps at the top breaking and we have had to re-tie them, most of the blue wrapt is gone becaue it wouldn’t stay in place and the we had to keep retieing the screen up. Now the entire bottom is ripped from the sides, but this was due to a terrible storm.

Hi,
I just wanted to comment on this because I’ve read about something similar recently in the UK. These kind of trampolines are giving good ones a bad name, trampolines offer a fun way to excersize to people of all ages and people shouldn’t be put off because of these errors. It’s fundamental that when people buy trampolines they don’t just look at the price, they need to check the safety and performance stats as well! Just wanted to put my point across,
Thanks
Paul Rogers
