Dual Sided Safety-Enhancing and Tensioned Parallel-Strap Strengthened Mesh Panel Arrays, For One or More Arrays and/or Series of Trampolines

Dual sided safety-enhancing and tensioned parallel strap strengthened mesh panel arrays, for one or more arrays and/or series of trampolines, comprising:

• a plurality of generally upright mesh panel arrays (MPAS), each mesh panel array (MPA) comprising a plurality of generally upright mesh panels (MPS);
• one or more of the plurality of MPAS each having a respective lower length-wise perimeter-side positioned closely adjacent a juncture of aligned outermost perimeter-sides of a plurality of trampoline mat bounding areas of an array or series of trampolines and a coupled portion of trampoline spring retainers fastened to the aligned outermost perimeter-sides;
• each MPA having a reinforced perimeter interiorly comprising a plurality of generally upright adjustably tensionable mesh panels (MPS) arranged laterally adjacent each other, the reinforced perimeter comprising a first generally upright elongate perimeter-side secured intermediate a first end of an upper lengthwise perimeter-side and a first end of a lower lengthwise perimeter-side, and a second generally upright elongate perimeter-side secured intermediate a second end of the upper lengthwise perimeter-side and a second end of the lower lengthwise perimeter-side;
• each MPA reinforced perimeter further comprising a plurality of principally parallel longitudinally-tensionable straps distributed laterally at generally evenly-spaced apart intervals, wherein an upper end of each strap is fastened to a respective portion of said upper lengthwise perimeter-side, and a lower end of each strap is fastened to a respective portion of said lower lengthwise perimeter-side, wherein, most or all the longitudinally-tensionable straps each have a lower end engaged by a respective adjustable-length coupling and an upper end configured coupled with an adjustable tensioner;
• wherein the adjustable-length couplings and the adjustable tensioners are configured to collectively provide an adjustable strap tensioning of the straps of a MPA such that a lower length-wise perimeter-side of the MPA is normally secured at a height and aligned closely adjacent said juncture, and each MP is tensioned in a manner reducing lateral mesh-displacement of the MPA and increasing impact force absorption that the MPA can regularly withstand during lateral force impacts made either on one side or on both sides of the MPA;
• and,
• each of said adjustably tensionable MPS comprising a perimeter securely fastened around a durable and resilient mesh material and configured such that a tensioning of MPS occurs when a tensioning is applied to longitudinally-tensionable straps of the MPA;
• and,
• at least aligned outermost perimeter-sides of a plurality of trampoline mat bounding areas comprising a respective mat flap which extends outwardly closely adjacent under a lower perimeter-side and lower ends of longitudinally-tensioned straps of a respective MPA and closely adjacent above most or all of an upper side of an elongate generally planar pad member, wherein the planar pad member, sized to cover trampoline springs and spring retainers adjacent the outermost perimeter-side, and the mat flap adjacent above the pad member, are protected under a cover extending along and outwardly from a lower exterior portion of the MPA and fastened along an opposite side to an elongate frame member.
