I'm bummed. Got a hole in one of my tramps.

Can I get a piece of the same fabric to repair it? If so, then what? Glue it? What glue? Stitch it?

If that's not available, any idea what to use to patch it?

One idea that I'm considering - maybe cut the top of the pocket off of that tramp and use that for a patch.

Thanks.

Try a trampoline (the kind you jump on) repair kit from Amazon.

I was in a similar situation a couple months ago.
I cut the piece for peddle holder.
Put a piece of aluminum piece under the cut area, lay a piece of peddle part on top. Then I work the heat up until both sides very soft. Immediately I press it down with another aluminum piece using my weight to hold it down.
I do this until all corners are bond good. The end result is very strong repair. I would be very careful when working heat gun.

I am looking for a repair kit on Amazon. there are so many of them, and I have not found one with above 4 stars. The best one that I found had like 3.8 stars.

I take ratings with a grain of salt. They are averages and just a couple of bad ratings can tank an average. I would look at the dates of the bad reviews. Was there a time frame that they all occurred? That could just mean a bad batch. Were all of the bad reviews wrote some time ago? Maybe they were still working some kinks out. Bad reviews recently make me worry.
