SITE SURVEY

MATERIALS

trampoline mat
Made of polypropylene and loaded with carbon, this woven fabric has high tensile strength, excellent UV protection, and is resistant to mildew and water.  The fibers are thermally interlocked to provide a smoother, stabilized surface that can withstand constant flexing and stress.  However, this material does not stretch; instead, it cushions joints while providing a firm and stable surface.  Always returning to its flat position, it does not crease or fold.
   to purchase new: 
 8ft - 48 spring attachment points (+$79.95)
 10ft - 64 spring attachment points (+$99.95)
 12ft - 72 spring attachment points (+$99.95)
 14ft - 84 spring attachment points (+$105.95)
 15ft - 90 spring points (+$109.95)
 15ft - 96 spring attachment points (+$109.95)

timber planks

PVC tubing
Can be purchased online for $1.50, however it would defeat the purpose of designing a piece of furniture from reclaimed materials if extra materials can only be purchased from China.
