In-Ground Trampoline Installation
How Do I Install An
In-Ground Trampoline?
An InGround or FlatGround trampoline looks excellent in any yard. Because the trampoline is so low or even level with the ground, it is less noticeable. This makes stepping onto the trampoline much easier and safer than a trampoline standing on the legs.
Briefly, the differences between the two types of trampolines: with an InGround trampoline, the frame protrudes slightly above the ground. On the other hand, a FlatGround (level with the ground) trampoline is wholly embedded in the ground. This makes it extra easy and safe to step onto the trampoline because it is level with the ground, so it is a win-win situation!
A hole must be dug under the trampoline to jump comfortably on an InGround or FlatGround trampoline. The hole gives the jumping surface the space to stretch and create an airflow that launches the jumper with every jump. The tutorials below show you exactly how best to dig a hole for your trampoline and what you need. Good luck!”
In-Ground Trampoline Installation
STEP 1
Decide where you want to locate the trampoline. Keep two meters away from other obstacles for a safe jumping experience.
Mark the location on the ground with the supplied tape measure. Keep to the measurements that are in the manual supplied with the trampoline.

STEP 2
Then use a shovel or a spade to scoop out the edges inside the circle. From that edge you can then scoop out the middle part. If you immediately throw the soil in a wheelbarrow for disposal, you keep the surrounding grass nice and clean.

STEP 3
Dig out the hole completely in a bowl shape and at the depth indicated in the manual. It takes some time, but remember that it won’t be long before you can jump incredibly well. It is really worth it.

FLATGROUND TRAMPOLINE
When an InGround trampoline is fully dug in, there is insufficient airflow and there is a big chance that the edges of the hole crumble, which can lead to dangerous situations.
Do you want a trampoline that can be completely dug in? Then it is better to choose a FlatGround trampoline.
Frequently Asked
Questions
CAN I DIG IN A ORDINARY TRAMPOLINE?
The BERG InGround trampolines are specially designed to be dug in. It has been taken into account that the air can easily escape during jumping, but also that the trampoline stands firmly on the ground thanks to its short legs. In addition, the legs are zinc-treated so that they can withstand any weather condition for a long time.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HOLE UNDER THE TRAMPOLINE WHEN IT RAINS?
If there is no excessive rainfall, the water will simply run off slowly into the ground and you will not be affective. If the type of soil makes it difficult to drain water and too much water frequently remains, it is wise to provide additional drainage, for example by installing a pipe system. A knowledgeable gardener will have good solutions for this.
HOW DO I DIG IN A FLATGROUND TRAMPOLINE?
BERG has produced a video especially for you. Watch the video on this page to see step-by-step instructions on how you can dig in a FlatGround trampoline.
CAN I HAVE THE HOLE DUG BY A GARDENER?
That is absolutely possible and saves you time and effort. A small excavator is often sufficient and will make almost any garden accessible. The removal of the soil is therefore often arranged. That way you kill two birds with one stone. There are a few BERG product dealers who also provide this service. It might be an idea to find a dealer in your area to find out.
HOW CAN I CONTROL THE WEEDS UNDER MY SUNKEN TRAMPOLINE?
To prevent weeds from growing under your trampoline, a root cloth can be placed in the pit. This cloth allows the rainwater to pass through, but stops light and root growth. This greatly reduces the chance of weeds. Root cloths are available at hardware stores, garden centers or online. Root cloths are available in black and white. The black variant is the most suitable for controlling weeds. When purchasing, the heavier the fabric, the better it resists growth. After purchasing, you can cut the root cloth to size. If you place several cloths in one pit, it is wise to let them overlap at least ten centimeters. Once in place, the cloth can be fixed by placing some soil or stones on it.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INGROUND AND A FLATGROUND TRAMPOLINE?
The BERG InGround Trampoline is largely concealed in your garden. But the frame is placed above the ground. This ensures that you do not have to dig a very deep pit. This trampoline is available with or without a Safety Net. The BERG FlatGround Trampoline is completely integrated with your garden. This trampoline can be buried in such a way that it is completely concealed and you no longer see a frame. That makes jumping so safe that you don't need a Safety Net.
