How do you level a trampoline on a hill?

Asked by: Becky Hernandez

You can lower one of the legs to make the trampoline lower on one portion, you can use leveling blocks to easily raise only a few of the legs, or you could completely flatten the section of the land you need. This problem is simply solved by small acts that result in a level trampoline.

Can you have a trampoline on a slope?

Many customers ask if they can build an inground trampoline on a slope. The simple answer is yes. In fact most gardens have slopes of some sorts – however, it’s relatively straight-forward to install an inground trampoline into a slope.

How do you put a trampoline on an uneven surface?

Dig Trench for Trampoline Leveling



A traditional but effective way to level the trampoline in the sloped garden is by digging a trench in the upper side and placing the trampoline legs there. Make sure, the trench depth and the measured height are equal. You can use a level to measure the accuracy of the depth.

How do you put a trampoline on the ground level?

Start by digging a circular hole three feet deep and one foot in diameter larger than the width of your trampoline. Find a level spot away from the hole. And build the frame of your trampoline.

How do you level uneven ground?

Rake the area to further level the ground. Move the rake forward and backwards over the land, spreading the soil evenly across the area of the plot. Use the teeth of the rake to break up any clumps that remain. Use the back of the rake to level areas that are particularly uneven.

How do you stabilize a trampoline?

Tap U-shaped wind stakes into place over the legs of the trampoline for a quick fix, or sink auger-style anchors into the ground directly below the frame. Hook the included straps through the augers and tighten them down on each side to make sure your trampoline stays put, even during the worst weather.

Does a trampoline need to be on a flat surface?

Ideally the trampoline should be on soft ground to absorb the impact energy. Probably the best surface is bark or similar as this is soft and energy absorbing, will provide good drainage and supress any weeds. There is also no need for grass cutting underneath. You should avoid hard surfaces like concrete or tarmac.

What is best to put under a trampoline?

If you are installing the trampoline on a hard surface such as tiles or concrete, adding some rubber mats underneath could provide a similar amount of shock absorption. Other types of surfaces such as commercial sand, rubber, or wood chips are also an acceptable alternative.

Should you anchor a trampoline?

Trampolines should always be anchored into the ground before use. Jumping on a trampoline causes it to move, and if it is not anchored, it could damage the trampoline or hurt the people on it. Strong winds can also move or even carry away a trampoline that is not anchored.
