Can you put a normal trampoline in the ground?
A normal trampoline can be put into the ground after digging a 3 foot deep hole for smaller children or a 5 foot deep hole for bigger kids. If you are going to use a regular wooden or metal platform, make sure it is sturdy enough to withstand the weight of a child.
If the platform is too small, it will be difficult for your child to get on and off. Make sure you have a sturdy platform that will hold up for a long period of time. It is also important that your platform has a hole in the middle so that the child can sit on it and not have to worry about falling off or getting hurt.
How do in ground trampolines drain?
If you dig a trench from the bottom of the trampoline hole, you can connect it to a nearby drainage ditch or garden area. As water begins to fill the trampoline hole, it will quickly flow through the drainpipe away from the Gilbert home.
You can use a garden hose or a bucket of water to do this, but be careful not to overfill the bucket or hose, as this can cause the hose to break. If you have a hose that is longer than 4 feet, be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area so that it does not get too hot and cause a fire.
Are sunken trampolines good?

Can I put a trampoline on a slope?
Many customers ask if they can build a trampoline on a slope. Yes is the simple answer. It’s relatively easy to install an inground in a garden that has slopes. The first step is to determine the slope of your garden. For example, if you have a garden with a steep slope, you can measure this distance and divide it by two to get the number of inches of slope you’ll need.
If you don’t have access to a measuring tape, the easiest way to do this is by using a pencil and paper to draw a straight line on the garden surface. You can then measure the length of this line and multiply this number by 2 to find the total slope needed.
Once you’ve determined the height you need to build the base for the ingrown plant, simply cut a piece of 1/4″ plywood to fit the desired height. Next, drill a hole in the center of each piece and screw the two pieces together. Make sure to drill the hole at a 45 degree angle so that the wood will be flush with the surface you’re building on.
