How to install an in ground trampoline - 3 ways

| 2 minutes read | Written by Julie

Save your view and buy an inground trampoline

Some people prefer to have their trampoline installed in the ground so that the mat surface is aligned with the ground level.
 
Some of the benefits of this choice are:
  • Access to the trampoline is easy
  • The trampoline won't block any view from the house or garden
  • It blends in with the landscape design of the yard
  • It makes it harder for the trampoline to suffer wind damage
  • Make sure to check with your local authorities if a permit is needed for such an installation. This can save you from a lot of trouble down the road!

In-ground installation can happen in different ways, let's have a look at the three most popular ones

in-ground-trampoline-boy-garden1 Frame mounted on top of a retaining wall:

This system is quite simple as it requires only three trampoline parts: a frame, a mat, and safety padding
  • The trampoline will be secured to one place
  • The retaining walls need to be strong enough to bear the load of jumping kids and adults and it takes some planning to design a proper ventilation and drainage system for the cavity underneath the trampoline
  • You will have less bounce as there is minimal space for the air to escape.

2 Trampoline on a “hill”

  • In this case, you buy a regular in ground round or rectangle in-ground trampoline.
  • Install it over the ground and build a retaining wall around it.
  • Then you transport dirt to cover the wall and form a hill that will blend into the landscaping of your yard.
  • This structure is easier to equip with drainage and ventilation.
  • You still need to move a lot of dirt and build a strong wall.

3 Trampoline in a hole

  • You can simply dig a hole in the ground build a retaining wall and install the trampoline in it.
  • You are best to have sought the advice of a local landscape gardener on what best drainage means is suited to your soil.
  • In some cases, you may only need a few inches of screenings on the bottom of the hole and in other cases proper drainage systems out in place.
  • We strongly recommend you allow some clearance of the frame sitting above the retaining wall as a means of ventilation to ensure the air escapes so the trampoline will have a nice bounce.
