OUT with velcro; IN with grommets

Just a little update on the New Kids' Court:
Turns out that self-adhesive velcro isn't so adhesive anymore once it's saturated with rain water. The spring winds and thunder storms did a number on my creation. So, on to plan B....grommets. Grommets were my initial thought, until I decided velcro was easier and more economical. Grommets are definitely the solution; grommets and zip ties.
Here's how they look up close:
I also ordered interlocking foam tiles like these from greatmats.com. They cover the concrete patio perfectly and are working out great for a safe, soft, durable, play space.
