2004 with the original green trampoline developed a few 2 inch tears and wondering what you have used to repair them (which glue, or epoxy or ?) works best to keep them from "growing" BEFORE I spend $$$ for a new one.
Thanks !!!

At 13 years old, you need a new tramp. Those tears might be able to be repaired with some fabric stitched onto the back and surrounding the tear by about 2 inches all around, but they would probably just start more tears. If you don't have a heavy duty sewing machine it won't work. Glues don't work well on fabric-especially old coated fabric.

I have a 2002 Getaway and had a small tear in the main tramp from the day I b bought it used 8 years ago. Sailed 7 seasons with it like that and never got any worse. See this thread for pictures of the old tramps before I bought new ones last year.
