so I had an idea - I have a 16' round AG intex easy set. Has anyone ever thought of dropping a 18' trampoline on top of it as a cover? The whole trampoline, not just the mat. I'm thinking I can just lift the trampoline over the pool and wah-la!! covered! thoughts anyone?? I did a search on trampoline, trampoline as cover, etc. and got nothing. if you know of a link, put it up please.
 
Have you ever seen a trampoline take off like a UFO in a bit of wind?? I'd be concerned about keeping it secured down enough, without damaging the inflatable ring. Would the weight of it squish the ring down?

There is a house several miles from my home that has their trampoline strung up to work as a shade for the pool.

LOL this is awesome! I can hear Jeff on stage now was driving through Kentucky and I saw this..."You might be a redneck if..you use your trampoline to cover your pool"


I may have to use this idea...we throw a redneck/white trash party every year where everyone dress up in their favorite style. I let my grass grow without cutting it for weeks we place all our holiday decorations in the front yard....Beer bottle wind chimes, undewear stained with coffee hanging between the house and garage, the works...lol Now I can add the trampoline pool cover...SWEET :party:
