Digging in a trampoline

[dazza b]

Has anybody done this? We have a 12ft trampoline that I want to sink into the ground, any tips please

Dig a soak away in the bottom to make sure rain has some where to go. Friend did this and it filled with water. He Lives in a high water table area, [emoji849]

Square/rectangular or round? Make sure water can get out of hole, put plastic on bottom and around sides to stop weeds growing. Used sleepers and posts to retain garden for a square one but round would be trickier.

Or let it fill with water. It could be a swimming pool or hot tub as well. Just unclip the trampoline and jump in!

As above, seen one in action.

Wood chip drop zone all round it!

They have just put one in at the village play ground they haven't dug a pipe to ditch so time will tell if it fills up with water. Kids love it though and it's safe for smaller kids

We did it with a round 14ft trampoline, we put in 1 soakaway pipe.... it wasn't enough and it kept having stagnant water at the bottom. Filled it in after 6 months. Our ground is clay and with a high water table, but it was great when it was dry. Do it.

We just dug it round with no wall supports.

It's worth doing, it is likely to prevent broken bones. Dig a sump and pump it if all else fails.

and make sure the garden is well fenced so the cows cant play on it.

What about a trampoline with a safety net around it? That’s what my daughter uses. Very safe for fearless and energetic toddlers!

Would save a lot of work.

Can't you get your leg over .

Have seen it done with circular grain bin sections as the retaining wall. I was rather impressed.

We're just supplying some 14/3 curved corrugated for a customer that is doing the same idea.

submerged a trampoline for little one so trampoline surface same level as surrounding lawn. Just dug a hole, not required any drainage. Dogs love trying to get under neath - when not in use. Kid loves it, and mum not going on about falling off and breaking a limb. Just do it, can always add drainage later if required.

Hide it your side of a field stile under a 'public right of way' and sell the videos to You've Been Framed.

£250 a go and much fun to be had.

Aldi had a good Plum 10ft one with net for £89 so we replaced our old one with one

Just take the legs off it, no need to dig a hole...
