Jumpking Ovalpod Trampoline Net Repair & Replacement

The safety net on my daughters trampoline finally gave up and I had was forced to replace it. To be fair it did last five years in a fairly exposed site, with heavy wind, rain and a couple of years when it snowed in the winter.

I had spent many hours repairing the net, ulitmately using a hot glue gun to reinforce any holes that appeared in it.

This was quite successful and extended the life of the net by a considerable period, but finally after many hole repairs I ordered a replacement net.

The installation took about an hour which you can see in the video below, most of the video is 16x speed with a couple of sections at 32x.

 

 

Ultimately I am pleased with this trampoline and how well it has lasted. My daughter does give it one hell of a hammering each day, so if your in the market for a trampoline I can recommend the Jumpking Ovalpod trampoline range.
