12' Trampoline Safety Net Instructions

A net around the trampoline helps to prevent users falling off the trampoline.

A trampoline provides a great physical outlet to help keep its user in shape while having fun at the same time. Jumping on a trampoline can also bring potential safety hazards with it, however, as there is the risk of losing control and accidentally jumping off, which can lead to injuries. Installing a trampoline enclosure around your 12 foot diameter trampoline will help keep any jumpers inside the enclosure if they lose control.

Things You'll Need

• 12 foot diameter trampoline
• Trampoline enclosure
• Wrench

Instructions

1. Assemble the poles of the enclosure. Pole sections will often come separated in pieces, and must be put together either by screwing pieces into each other, or through provided pins. Two pieces generally make the body of the pole, and include padding which goes over the top section of pole, and a knob at the top to secure the netting to.

2. Secure each pole to a leg of the trampoline, using the provided brackets with come with your kit. The pole will pass down the outside of the leg, and U-shaped brackets which pass around the leg and the pole will hold them tight to each other through the use of a plate that is fastened tightly with nuts.

3. Secure the top of the net to the knob of a pole by passing the loop at the end of the netting over the knob. The first pole you feed through must be attached to the right side of a leg piece.

4. Attach the net to the knobs around the perimeter of the trampoline, slipping the strip at the top of the netting through the slots in the knobs until you have attached the netting around the perimeter clockwise and the netting strip has been slipped into the slot in the first knob.

5. Pass the top strip to the second pole and secure the strip around the knob with a double knot, so that you have a flap of netting hanging in front of the first section of netting that was hung.

6. Tuck the skirt of the trampoline underneath the padding, atop the frame and springs of the trampoline, exposing the circular frame.

7. Tie the strip extending off the bottom of the netting to the first pole, securing the first piece of netting in place.

8. Secure the bottom of the netting around the entire perimeter of the trampoline with the strips provided in your kit. Each section is secured individually by tying off a strip on the pole on one side of the section of netting, wrapping around the circular frame between the two poles while passing the strip through openings in the netting throughout the wrapping, then tying off on the opposite pole.
