Hi all.

I need to change the tramp on my H16 and I decided for mesh. BUT:

1. Is there any difference (beside $$$) between black and color mesh? strength/ wear/ fading?

2 does anybody know if there are disadvantages with the two-piece (instead of three) bias mesh? I though that the tramp should be pulled tight to give rigidity to the cat structure. Is it true? can you do it with the bias tramp?

Thanks for the attention

I think the whole point with the "bias" cut trampolines is that as you tighten the two pieces, it tightens the tramp in both x & y directions, because of the "bias" in the material thread directions. That's why you don't need the third piece. You can get it tight, but only need one "axis" of tightening to do it.
