In-Ground Trampoline

After completing our Inexpensive Outdoor Patio, we decided to tackle some of the outdoor kids area. Texas can get very windy. The kids loved their above ground trampoline but every time there was a storm I panicked. I had a constant fear that the trampoline would blow into our neighbors yards and damage their property. We got rid of their above ground trampoline and set out on a journey to create an in-ground trampoline area for them to enjoy in the yard.

Buying an In-Ground Trampoline

There are plenty of options online for In-Ground trampolines. They may seem daunting to install but they actually are quite easy if you have the right tools.

I did lots of online research and finally picked out an In-Ground trampoline that would fit our yard from Trampolines.com. We ordered a 14 Foot Round Avyna In-Ground Trampoline and paid $1,595 including shipping.

In-Ground Trampoline prices are in line with above ground trampoline prices which honestly surprised me.

We opted out of getting a net for the trampoline but they do sell them for In-Ground Trampolines.

Installation

Let me start by saying if you are going to install an In-Ground Trampoline yourself, rent a digger from Home Depot to make the project a breeze.

My husband and I did not in fact rent a digger and spent months digging a 3 foot deep hole approximately 12 Feet in diameter. While it was a great workout, I would rent a digger in the future.

The In-Ground Trampoline Kit came with detailed instructions and video links to watch the installation process.

Digging the hole for the trampoline is the hardest part. Once that is complete you simply snap the frame together and install the springs, mat, and pads.

Let the Jumping Begin

After months of self imposed hard work, the trampoline was installed! While the Texas summer heat has been brutal this year, the kids and I enjoy swimming and jumping every night after their baby brother goes to bed.

Honestly, I don’t know why we didn’t install this trampoline years ago. It is easy for the kids to get on and off and I don’t have to worry about them suffering a fall. I can’t wait to enjoy this for years to come.

Stay tuned because next up is our all natural swing set and green house with painted tile floors!
