We have this big trampoline we bought used. Without bringing my tape measure outside, I'd guess the center mat is about ten feet in diameter. There must be 60-80 spring loops around the perimeter. This is the second summer we've had it, and it has held up really well - but it's starting to lose some loops on one corner. Each of these loops is actually a fabric loop about two inches wide which wraps around a metal loop. A spring hooks on one end into this metal loop, and on the other end hooks into a hole in the big frame.
A casual search for "trampoline repair" in my area doesn't turn up anything. Whom would I ask to restitch these fabric loops? A sports equipment shop?

Maybe someone who repairs huge industrial tents or tarps?

Try someone who works on car convertible tops and/or re-upholstering insides or furniture or boats. Maybe even a shoe repairman that does work boot/leather. If not they have to know someone who can come out to do it.
Later...
