Why are Jumbo’s netted windows and front safety nets laced and not sewn into the inflatables?
The easiest way to attach a net is to insert it into the seam during manufacture, so that it can be sewn-in. This method is of course cheaper to manufacture, which is why many manufacturers will use it. If a net should be damaged or worn, the seam will have to be unpicked and the unit dismantled and re-sewn to replace the net. Jumbo’s method of lacing-in nets is much more labor intensive during manufacture, and hence more expensive. However, the benefit to the operator of easy replacement and no down-time, are obvious!
