Advice on Sinking your trampoline:
We do have people phone us and ask
about sinking their trampoline into the ground,
this is becoming more frequent now so we have put
together some practical advice.
Most people are probably put off
by the athestics of a net but buy them because
of the safety factor. Other people may not be able
to go the extra of affording a net.
Digging a pit is a very good option,
digging the pit yourself will also save on cost.
The advantages are it is safer than
not having a net and you do not have the trampoline
with or without the net in your eye line. You could
even plant shrubs/flower border in front of it
and hide it completely, making a garden feature
out of a potential eye sore.
The hole needs to be approx two inches
less than the height of the trampoline. This allows
a gap to release the trapped air that is pushed
downwards whilst jumping.
If you live in a wet area and are
unsure of the soil being firm enough we recommend
seeking advice from a friendly builder/gardner.
If you have a high water table you may want to
dig a trench across the diameter of the trampoline,
say 1ft x 1ft and fill with pea shingle or the
like.
If you would like more info please
