In-Ground Trampoline in the Backyard!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2019
- We've always wanted a trampoline, but I didn't want it to be above the ground and have to move it every time I cut the grass. There are a few options for putting trampolines in the ground, but most are so expensive. We found a cheaper option and ran with it. I think it turned out really well.
This is the build directions/material suggestions that we followed (for the most part):

Your kids will have many years of enjoying that thing. This fall I finally took ours down for the last time. Now I have a reno project next spring. 👍
That is very cool!! My kids would love that, forget the kids I would love having that!! Lol. Thank you for sharing.
I'm excited to have it too! It's tons of fun.
Youre a good dad for this! very cool and safe.
That’s awesome! I would have loved that when I was a kid!
The the biggest backyard I’ve ever seen!!
I really like this idea.
First Aussie 😁. WOW. Jimmy you are a great dad . 😎👍👍
That was so cool that junior was able to help even in the excavator. Now you have to move your house closer so you can JUMP OFF THE ROOF!
Maybe put a 1-2 foot ring of that wood or rubber mulch around the edges to make it easier to mow around. Cool project.
Obviously the first thing to do is get a friend who owns a backhoe!
Nope. The first thing to do is metal detect for any interesting relics that you might lost and never see.
Or…a trampoline!
That’s awesome!
Nick the top of the corrugates and the tin will bend around the posts very neatly,will leave a small gap,but that would be acceptable.From Australia
Very cool. Wondering how to do this myself. Thanks for making this vid.
Rebar that size is not housing material from where I am from. Could be a cheap fence post or something from the past but that piece was fat big!
Great idea for the kids man! Love the drone footage too. Nicely done sir
Such lucky little boys! A dad who knows how to build things, and an excavator, a big hole to play in, and ultimately an in-ground trampoline!
Jimmy did you consider taking out the leg extensions to lower the depth needed? Something I’m considering. Also if you put the wood and sheet metal on the inside do you think allowing the soil to settle over the bars would give more support?
Very cool James!! I knew you were up to something!! 😉
Can we just talk about how nice his yard looks!?!
Nice work Jimmy! Looks great and nice job to bond w your dad and boys . I look forward to seeing it later in videos when the grass is a dark green again, Cheers pal
Thanks! I look forward to that as well. 🙂
Nice work! Really enjoyed the vid. Awesome dinosaurs 🦖 bones 🦴 @10:38 😆
I’m glad you started off with call before you dig
i like this guy
Great video Jimmy! I just did the same project last month but didn't think about drainage which nobody ever talks about. So what you end up with is a 3ft deep retention pond in your backyard. Please comment back on what happens after your first rain. I ended up getting an automatic utility pump which I buried in a plastic square bucket in the middle/low spot and I ran a hose into some 3" pvc (10ft piece) which jets out from the trampoline right underneath the edge of the top frame. That seems to have solved my water problem because before that the entire pit filled with water.
Yeah that's what happened to my next door neighbor. Hopefully the gravel will help.
@@JimmyLewisMows I put three inches of pea gravel down but the pit filled up like a bathtub after the first rain and didn't drain out because I have so much clay here in Illinois.
Couldn't you lay down about 5 to 8 inches of sand and then pea gravel on top to help with drainage?
Awesome job Jimmy !! Very cool
thank you sooooo much this vid help me alot
Glad I could help
I just got delivery of 16' trampoline. I ma goign to do the same as you did. thanks for posting the video. How much you it should cost to dig out the material. I am planning to make raised bed garden s, i might keep the soil
I'm fortunate enough to have neighbors who have access to excavators. My neighbor was kind enough to do that work for a plate of cookies. Obviously that's not going to be the case for most people. You can rent smaller, mini excavators, or you can look around on your local classifieds to see if anyone offers that kind of service.
The end project looked nice but man what a lot of work. Ha
I probably missed it but why add all the wood and metal around it and not just sink it in?
It was a lot of work! I enjoyed it though. When you put a trampoline in the ground you need to have some way to retain the surrounding dirt. Keeps it from settling in to the pit. We did it this way because it was half the price of buying a pre-fabricated wall.
That makes good sense and less expensive. 👍🏼
Great video! We're planning to do this in the spring. How has airflow been, it is sufficient to get normal bounce?
Airflow seems fine! Really happy with how it turned out.
that’s raw.!
Awesome Jimmy! Looks pretty good! You got a drone?
Thanks! Yup. Got the Mavic mini
I'm coming over
Awesome shirt too 😉
Come on over! But wait until spring haha
Great job I'm mad to do something similar with mine. Is there a benefit to putting the whole thing in the ground as opposed to taking leg extenders off and reducing the height? Just have the hole deep enough for the jump pad travel
Thanks. I'm not sure there are much differences in either choice, but I wanted to be able to back fill with quite a bit of gravel to ensure drainage, and I've since put some leftover sand material in there. So it's kind of a little storage place now I guess. But yeah if you want less to dig, you can totally do that.
How is the drainage? How has everything been since you installed it?
So far it’s been great! No issues at all.
@@JimmyLewisMows you mentioned winter y'all get snow? , what do you do with the opening In tbe off seasons
@@joelmcwatters7935 Ya we get snow here. Some people remove the jump pad and store it away. I keep it on and clear any snow off. Not a big deal.
Is there a sump pump in there for water? That holes gotta fill with water I would think
Burying it so you don't have to move it when mowing is like cutting your head off so you won't need haircuts. Much easier to just move it. But you did a good job, and got it done cheap, so cheers.
I’m not sure why you just wouldn’t landscape underneath it and not have to cut under it lol
It's safer for the kiddos to be ground level. Don't have to worry about them falling off of it.
Is this trampoline still up and working good? We have been wanting to do this as well but don't want to get the in ground trampoline because it is more expensive
Still just as solid today as it was when it went in the ground. We just replaced the blue padding around the top of the springs a couple of weeks ago.
@@JimmyLewisMows that's amazing, thank you !
@@JimmyLewisMows love your content!
How’s this holding up since the video release? Looking at doing this with my kids trampoline but not sure if I can place it where I want it yet. Need to get the dig guys to check out the yard before digging. 😅
Also what would you do differently if you had to do this again?
@@valentinibarra2661 still holding up great. No complaints. Can’t think of anything I would’ve done differently yet.
now that lumber is 1000 dollars
How do you
Beautiful flat fence backyard #dreams
What about the drainage of rain water ?
This is essentially a small gravel pit. Haven't had an issue with drainage thus far.
Hi we are getting my boyfriends son a trampoline this weekend for his birthday & came across your video and almost have the idea sold lol however he wanted me to ask...whats been the "con's" if any since the set up was complete?
Zero cons so far!
We're getting ready to start this type of project this spring/summer. We bought a house that had an 8000 gallon pond in the backyard. We gave away all the pond equip and drained the pond. Silver lining is that we don't really have to dig out a hole to bury the trampoline. My question is this - was there an advantage to using the sheet metal instead of metal mesh and landscape fabric? I've seen it done both ways.
Nice! Metal mesh and fabric would probably work fine. To be honest I never considered it. The sheet metal I used was the more affordable option for us and still seemed durable. There are lots of different ways you can approach that.
Jimmy Lewis Thanks for your input!
Hi guys
Can't you just toss the poles, build a wooden support in the hole and mount it directly to the support with no legs?
First... Jimmy what camera to you primarily use? The video quality is always spot on.
Primarily use a mic'd up GoPro hero 7. iPhone 11 Pro for secondary 🙂
@@JimmyLewisMows thanks dude. Project looks good. I'm curious if you thought about water filling in the hole?
Try to do that by hand
My word that is a bid log under ground and rebarb wow. No wonder ehy some of have bare spots in our lawn. Things that rob the soil of nutrients are under the ground. 👵
How r u gona
get the water out
What water?
@@JimmyLewisMows that get under the trampoline into the hole
Hasn’t been an issue
How do you keep the snakes out of the hole?
Out of sight out of mind 😉

Hows the Trampoline?
Bouncy
What type of trampoline do you have?
It is a Zupapa 15 ft.
Your neighbor just happens to own an excavator??
Haha yes! And he was kind enough to bring it over and dig us a pit 🙂

How about showing us the trampoline in-use in this video? Come on bro
Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video without telling me you didn’t watch the whole video… Come on bro

Very cool thing to do for your kids but be mindful of using power tools like drills around your kids without using eye protection.
i HATE this idea... our neighbors installed it too and now we get a constant noise from their jumps
Neighbors…they’re just the worst.
Can I come over and bounce? I can teach you how to play popcorn 😉
Mowing is your reason???
Just spray ground clear!
Great idea but in ny/ny mos
The retaining wall needs to go all the way up to the top of frame or at least above grade and inch otherwise soil will still fill in the hole as water pulls it in. They also make trampolines specifically for this. Also the center is only part that needs to be deep. Make it bowl shaped because obviously the edges aren’t going to go down 3 feet. Since your retaining wall isn’t high enough you now have a gap between soil and actual trampoline. This is an accident waiting to happen.
Why didn't you buy a specific in ground trampoline? In ground trampolines have short legs and only require one to dig a bowl, which is easier and there is no need for retaining walls. That's lots of unnecessary work. Final result does look the business.
We put one in and soon after we got a letter from our Homeowner's Insurance company that we had 7 days to remove it or our policy would be canceled. We ended up selling it. They are fun however.
Ouch. That's too bad.
TommyTester How did your homeowners insurance find out about it?
They saw it while inspecting a neighbor's home. It was AIG insurance which many had at the time. Best to read your policy.
Tommy Tester why did they tell you to remove it? It's your property!!
How deep you dig?
About 3 feet
You actually didnt really need to dig the much because you could of taken out the leg extensions. You would need to dig about 18 inches around and about 3 foot deep in the middle.
18 inches is not enough space, you’ll end up breaking your ankle when you eventually hit the ground from jumping too high
@@mmaonpoint8660 18inches on the outsides with gradual depth increase as you get to the middle of the trampoline
Yea...this costs me $450 dollars. Yea ok bro. The backhoe rental and dirt removal alone is over $1500. Its in the ground because you mow your lawn?....grass. lol!
Apparently you didn't listen. He said his neighbor had the excavator and did the digging for him for a plate of cookies!!
Sorry check this. Cut the frame and welded lower. www.bergtoys.com/de/faqs/trampolin/trampolin-einbauen.
Good Video.
Thanks!
No flips from mr jimmy? Thumbs down.
Get snip

I'm hoping the gravel that I back filled with will help with drainage a bit. If I need to I'm not opposed to getting a sump pump.
This scares me. Sorry man I do not like the idea of metal. I can easily see that hurting someone. There has to be a better way.
it aint gotta be THAT deep. You can always shorten it.
