Sheet Metal Trampoline for Goats 2

[Berniedog]

I want to design a sheet metal trampoline for my daughter's goats. See the following link:

Does anyone have experience is sheet metal design and can tell me how to proceed?

Where can I get something like that?

Go to Home Depot, get a sheet of 4'x8' plexiglass (1/8" thick maybe?), drill some holes in the ends and tie them together with rope - I bet it would be very similar to what you are seeing in the video you posted.

I will check it out

I'm not too sure about plexiglass. I have plexiglass mats on the carpet under my rolling chair. It gets brittle and breaks up after a while and has to be replaced. You might find the goats' feet punch through after a while.

I agree that the example is metal - there's a crease in it on the right side near the ground.

I think you would need spring making sheet metals like these Link

I was thinking SS302 spring tempered full hard

Arches are a favorite subject of mine......but I have to question the ethics of doing something like this. Not only are you talking about animals potentially falling off this thing......you are also talking about them possibly cutting themselves on the edges. Sheet metal can have some sharp edges.

Oh Geeze! Now I've heard everything
