Drill holes where you have marked the spots for the ropes all the way through the wood.

Screw in long eye bolts into each hole on the posts so that the eye is facing the trampoline. Place a washer on each side of the hole and secure the back end of the eye bolt with a washer.

Tie a piece of rope onto one ring and then tie it to the ring on the opposite side, making sure the rope is tight across. Do this with all the rings. You will have twelve pieces of rope tied onto twelve rings. Each ring will have two ropes tied to it to attach all four corners.

Tips & Warnings
Wrap the bottom of the trampoline with a tarp to give it the look of a real wrestling ring.
Instead of ropes, you could use garden hoses and wrap them around all the posts.
You may need up to six posts if your trampoline is circular, depending upon how large your trampoline is.
