In-Ground Trampolines – Installation, Safety and More

If you are looking for a backyard trampoline, there is a good chance you have seen in-ground trampolines. While in-ground trampolines used to simply be above-ground trampolines sunk into the ground with a retaining wall, there is an abundance of new technology available. As always, Backyard Dreams does significant research to ensure we are offering the safest, highest performing, and longest-lasting equipment to your family. We carry Capital Play in-ground trampolines, because at the end of our research, this is what’d we’d pick for our family. So, let’s look at the logistics of them, from installation to safety and more:

How to Install an In-Ground Trampoline?

Capital Play trampolines are a full kit, meaning all that is left for you to do to install your in-ground trampoline is to build a pit. Unlike sinking a regular backyard trampoline into the ground, you don’t need a pit that is 3-4′ deep. This video walks you through the entire process, from the retaining wall ledge to how deep the pit should be. Looking to save money? With a bit of time, you can absolutely install an in-ground trampoline yourself. While these trampolines were designed to be DIY capable, many prefer to simply let the professionals do it. If you have a landscape company you work with, send them the specs and it should be easily completed within a days work.

How Much Does it Cost to Have an In-Ground Trampoline Installed?

The cost to install is typically around $2500. That cost includes labor, dirt removal and the construction of the pit. For in-ground trampolines in Colorado, drainage is not needed. Of course, there are other variables that can impact cost. Landscapers will look at accessability, slope, utility and sprinker lines, and soil. We offer in-ground trampoline installation for $300. We do this before the landscapers come out, allowing them to “sink” the trampoline into the pit and complete the job that day.

Are In-Ground Trampolines Safe?

Yes! In-ground trampolines have fantastic safety features, including the option to have a net. Being in-ground reduces the chance for falls when entering and exiting the trampoline. Like with any type of active movement, there is a chance for injury. But, the trampolines we carry use the most innovative technology to mitigate these risks. The most common injury on a trampoline occurs in the rebound, from kickback. Thanks to Capital Play’s high-performing 7″ springs, these trampolines provider a smooth, quality bounce. While our AlleyOOP DoubleBounce Trampolines remain our top pick for the safest trampoline you can find on the market, the Capital Play trampolines are at the top of in-ground trampoline league. Bonus: having your trampoline in-ground mitigates the risk of your trampoline taking flight during our gusty Colorado Summer storms!
