Flat to the ground trampoline

The best jumping experience happens when a few things come together: a sturdy frame, long high-quality springs, a breathable jumping mat, and good energy transfer.

Higher-end trampolines, like semi-pro or flat to the ground models, give the smoothest and most controlled jumps thanks to their design and materials. They’re built for heavy use and are clearly a step above beginner models.

Before buying a trampoline, it’s important to consider who will use it, how intensively it will be used, and how long you want it to last. Experience shows that relatively cheap trampolines typically last only 2–3 years due to the materials and build quality, and their safety decreases quickly because of wear, rust, and breakage.

Key things to look for:

• Frame: steel thickness, galvanisation, and construction.
• Springs: length, type (e.g., conical), and rust resistance.
• Jumping mat: airflow, coating thickness, spring-overlays, and stitching quality.
• Safety pad: foam thickness and width, PVC thickness, and how well it closes around the frame.
• Safety: safety net, solid connections, certifications.
• Warranty: good warranties on the frame, springs, and mat indicate higher quality.

Costs vary depending on the size of the trampoline and ground conditions. For a professional dig-in service, prices usually range from €700 to €1,800, including digging, placing the trampoline, and finishing the edges.

Yes. Digging in a trampoline takes quite some work. An inground trampoline (20 cm above ground) is easier to install than a Flat-to-the-Ground trampoline. Most of the effort goes into digging the hole and backfilling the soil. Assembling the trampoline itself usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the type, size, and whether a safety net is included.

To install a trampoline in the ground, you’ll need:

• An inground or flatground trampoline (not one on legs!)
• Installation instructions
• A spade or mini-excavator
• A wheelbarrow
• An earth container, trailer, or nearby space to dump the soil
• A measuring tape and string to mark the pit
• A level for flat installation
• Optional drainage if the soil is wet
• Ground cover or weed fabric to prevent weeds under the trampoline

Check beforehand for underground utilities, pipes, cables, or drains.

Some trampoline suppliers offer a trampoline dig-in service. Since they are often the supplier or even the manufacturer, they usually know the installation best – so they’re often your best bet. There are also plenty of gardeners who can handle the (digging) work for you.

Note: Installing a trampoline isn’t just digging a hole. Make sure you check how someone plans to install your trampoline. When in doubt, contact your trampoline supplier.
