Trampoline rain cover.

We got a 10ft trampoline a few weeks back. I've noticed that after it has rained the rain water pools up inside the skirt covering the springs and it doesn't dry away unless someone goes in and walks around so that the water all comes out onto the mat. Obviously this needs to be done regularly and the trampoline can't be used enjoyably until the water has drained off.

I've seen rain covers advertised for trampolines and I am just wondering has anyone ever bought one and do they work effectively?

Just get a massive bit or tarpaulin (sp) and pin the edges into the ground with pegs.

Evian, you've just given me the idea of taping up the seams in the skirt with packing paper or equivalent, thanks. I think that basically us what the cover is, ie tarpaulin but I'm just not sure will they work properly.

Oh, I gave someone an idea. That's me happy for the rest of the week.

I'm not familar with the covers but as long as they fully cover the trampoline I can't see why they wouldn't work. I just suggested the tarpaulin as I imagine it's a cheaper option than the fitted covers. Hope you find a decent resolution.

Well packing tape isn't theway to go, it just doesn't stick well enough. Onto plan b.
