use like wooden dowels or some steel pipe or aluminum conduit and put that foam pipe insulation stuff on them.. use hefty zipties to attach the net.. make a stable base for em too. maybe some sandbags or alike to make it stay put

that sounds sick im probably going to do that. do i just use any random net tho? and how do i support the poles so if i fall into them i dont just bring the whole net down with me. theres gotta be a better way than just using weights.

Net's hella easy to get dude. Just go to a commercial fishing surplus store down at your local marina and pick some cotton netting up. You don't want synthetic netting or that itchy yellow stuff or you're gonna get ripped a new one when your face hits it. Just choose some soft kind of netting. If you don't live near the ocean or any sizeable lakes, there's probably nets in salvation army/goodwill or just in regular sports fishing stores maybe.

Then set up 4 posts with top-beams, and stap your net to it!

A lot, unless you can get them used from a gymnastics place or something. In which case they'll be covered in girls sweat. ;)

haha yea id try not to crash on them too much. anyways i think ill go with the getto home made net because my dad's worried about drainage if i make it inground. unless i make a deck but thatll probably cost a shit load in wood.

if it is an inground tramp you dont need a net cause you wont be falling that far rather then if you were on a regular one you would be atleast, i dont know 20 ft in the air?
