Weighing Down Screen

[Tshaw1712]

I am trying to tidy up the bottom of my screen, I currently have the Carl’s preferred and am letting it hang loose at the bottom. I am seeing that some people get nylon tubes and fill with sand then attach to the bottom of the screen. This seems like a good option but I don’t have easy access to a sewing machine so am looking for other options. I am seeing that there is “hem tape” on Amazon that you iron on without the need for any sewing. Has anyone tried this on an impact screen or have any other options they think would be not too much hassle?

Thanks for any responses

I use a nylon tube full on sand in the bottom of my screen.

Just wanted to update this thread for completeness.

The gorilla glue fabric glue worked great to create a seam in the screen for the battle rope. However, the battle rope was too heavy and caused more bounce back than I would like. I removed the battle rope and now just have the seam at the bottom which dangles to the ground. The seam does create a nice clean look, so overall things works out.

I am looking at weighted jump ropes... 5lb total.

It ended up being too much tension for me with the battle ropes, which were probably a similar weight.
