So your kids want a trampoline, but you are worried about the eyesore it will create in your yard. Luckily, there is an alternative to the traditional trampolines that stand out in your yard like a sore thumb. Kids and even adults often enjoy using a trampoline for fun and exercise. Plus, it is a great way to get your kids away from television and video games to enjoy some fresh air while still having fun. However, an above ground trampoline does not seem to blend in well with your beautiful landscape. Traditional trampolines are assembled for above ground use either with or without a safety net, leaving a large, cumbersome object sticking out in your yard. Some homeowners are not a fan of the appearance of a traditional trampoline. Now, there is another option. An in-ground trampoline provides a more aesthetic appeal, plus all the fun and adventure of a traditional trampoline. What exactly is an in-ground trampoline and how does it work?
An in-ground trampoline is what it sounds like, a trampoline built in-ground, like an in-ground swimming pool. Meaning, once fully constructed, the trampoline is flush with the ground, while still maintaining the ultimate bounce and enjoyment. Sounds as simple as digging a hole and dropping a trampoline in it, right? Wrong! An in-ground trampoline set up is best left to the professionals and here is why.
After the hole for the trampoline is dug, creating a retaining wall on the inside of the hole is important for both the function and safety of the trampoline. Without an adequate retaining wall, constructed of the right materials, the walls of the hole are liable to collapse and not only cause damage to the trampoline but compromise safety. At Promier Landscapes, our professionals make certain the best materials are used to create a retaining wall inside the hole. Building the right kind of retaining wall is also important in maintaining a proper bounce for the trampoline. Also, proper drainage and adequate airflow play a vital role in the functionality and safety of the trampoline. Our professionals at Promier Landscapes take care of this for you. We are knowledgeable in constructing a proper drainage system for the in-ground trampoline to prevent it from sinking. We can also install a safety net enclosure if you prefer. In the end, your kids will have the trampoline they have always begged for and as parents, you will still have your beautiful landscape to enjoy!
