Tension trampoline as to bend sidebars inboard visibly. Tighter is good, but caution, excessive load on a single grommet can cause material failure. Using a line (belt) around the mid section of the trampoline structure pulling the sidebars inboard (pre bend) before tensioning the center lace can greatly ease the process.

Notes:

• Tension across first two grommets at center forward first (tie off). This prevents the forward / outboard corners from pulling aft while tensioning the aft laces.
• Pull tension aft along sidebar.
• Lace moderately across the aft.
• Fully tension center.
• Finish by tensioning aft laces.
