Does anybody have any inventive ideas about this lawnmowing dilemma?

[ReasonablyFair]

Kind of gardening because it’s to do with lawnmowing but I have a Robot Lawnmower and a trampoline. The Robot Lawnmower likes to mount the trampoline which you can imagine results in screeching noise of metal on metal where the blades try to eat the trampoline leg. I decided a clever way to overcome this would be to nip to B&Q and buy some pipe lagging to zip wire over the legs. It worked to some degree, but as they degenerate over time, they are now possible for the Lawnmower to push out of the way while it mounts the metal. I need a more robust solution. Does anybody have any idea of what I might be able to use?

I literally need to just stop it being able to mount the height, so I’m wondering whether something like a tumble dryer external tubing might do the same job because it’s tall enough, or anything like that?

I would so much value any ideas, and it would be so helpful if you could tell me where I might be able to buy it from because it’s really quite surprising how little resources are available in B&Q.

What about some of that plastic lawn edging taped round the bottom?

Drainpipe, cut down the length and slipped over the metal, or guttering maybe, with holes drilled in it and pegged or cable tied into position.

Both are available at most DIY places like Wickes, Screwfix, B&Q, usually in 3m lengths quite cheaply. Square guttering might look quite nice.

Pond net round the vertical bits so make a panel.

Wood. Attach a strip to each side of the tube, or make a right angled section to drop over the top.

Or a row of bricks or stones.

if you must use plastic, then the drainpipe idea is the best one. Anything soft like netting or dryer ducting will deteriorate rapidly.

I agree with wood. You could use one of those panels which are used for edging flower beds, and put it in front of the legs so the mower won't go there.

What robot mower do you have, and other than this do you like it?

Let it mount the trampoline. The offspring would be amazing. Bouncing robo-blades that could mow a roof garden.

Could you stretch netting over those base sections to create a barrier. Or get some wood cut to size to block those bits off?

Dig under /turf over the top of them.

Even just some rolls of turf rolled over the top of the crossbars might do it if you don't want to dig.

I'd either move the tramp when the robot is due out, or sink the bases of those tramp's feet into the lawn.

We have the same with our hammock and move it out of the robots way and just put the hammock onto the lawn when we are using it.

A length of wooden 2x2 laid on the grass next to each metal bit. B&q will probably cut you bits to the right length.

When we had a trampoline, we just used to lift the legs up onto a regular brick when the robot mower was out. A length of guttering sounds like a good solution.

Swimming woggles?

Swimming woggles is pretty much what you see in the picture

Thanks for all the replied and ideas!
I should have said it’s not stationary as I move it round the lawn so as to keep the lawn intact. Unfortunately I don’t have any hard standing big enough for it to be pulled onto to escape the teeth of the lawnmower.

But your various ideas let me to think different and I came up with this, which acts as a buffer and stops it mounting the frame causing that awful scream of metal on metal!
