The cats and birds have shredded the 14 year old foam edging on my granddaughter's trampoline, which I bought for her mother. This foam covers the tubular frame and the area over the springs and up to the mat.

Hi,
Normal trampolines appear to use 25mm thick 'closed cell' polyethylene foam:
BES do 25 mm thick closed cell polyethylene pipe insulation in
15/22/28mm inside diameters:I'd expect it would have to be held on with at least two layers of 50% overlapped (as seen on racing bike handlebars) cloth tape:
I have the above insulation and it's pretty tough, however don't hold me responsible if the little 'uns manage to bash their heads somehow!!!
cheers, Pete.

Thanks, the actual tubes are 75mm but if this is much the same foam it's worth looking for a larger diameter and using duct tape.
