[quote=texastuma][quote=shortyfox]I've messed around with tarps over the years, and it always comes back to the same problem. Here in Southwest Florida, it rains so frequently in the Summer that fixing the boat cover where the water doesn't puddle on it can be time consuming at best. The idea of using an old tramp to cover your good tramp is an idea I hadn't thought of, and it makes sense because puddling will not be an issue. Now this led to another idea. As a gardener, I'm aware of shade cloth and I know it's made of polypropylene mesh just like a tramp. I also know you can get it up to 80% sun filter and you can buy it in bulk or if memory suits me, precut sections that are hemmed with grommets. Don't confuse it with frost cloth. Just wondering if anyone has ever considered this as a viable alternative?[/quote]
I have sections of sunshade for different reasons, but have never thought about using it for trampoline shade. It would be more helpful for mitigating wind. We have same issue with big frequent rains in SE Texas. I found that the 10'x10' tarp at West Marine is cheaper than Home Depot and I use 1" PVC side-to-side to keep from puddling. I think the sunshade would be worth a try, but with the same issue as all commercial tarps; grommets pull out. I would suggest adding some webbing straps on the grommets to extend their life.[/quote]
