Help needed
Submitted by soupster51 on Tue, 2009-06-30 20:35
My young fellas trampoline was trashed by the wind over the last couple of days with most of the poles that hold up the netting bent or broken off. If anyone could advise where I could purchase piping that is 35mm 0D and about 2.2m it would be much appreciated. Maybe just a little stronger than the thin ali crap it came with.

Try 50mm pvc
put it down to the ground with your d bolts spread further apart it will have thicker side walls a bit more flex and its cheap.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

Certainly not made to last...
Crap design and very short sighted. I am hopeful that the family is well and nobody got injured.

All okay
The little fellas okay, cheers for the concern; my ears are getting a bashing from him though about fixing the trampoline so that he can go on it. He's only two, what chance do I have of winning that arguement......

None whatsoever lol
My G'daughter is 5 now and demands heaps.. It's always up to G'dad to fix things...
My pool is pea green at the mo after spending heaps of bucks getting the palms sorted so they don'y keep "breading" in my pool. Ice cold and she still wants to swim..... bless them...

Dont use pvc. When it is
Dont use pvc. When it is new it will just bend but once the sun has been on it for a while it can snap off or shatter leaving a sharp point.

Mate hit up your insurance
Mate hit up your insurance company, If you have contents covered by storm damage, you could be in with a shot.

Thought about it
After the $100 initial fee and then a 10% increase in premium for the next three years I can probably fix it cheaper. Cheers for the suggestion though.
