anyone sunk a trampoline into the ground

[juice]

as thread asks. not sure whether to get a safety net or sink it. so was wondering if anyone sunk one, how they did it and how good it is

ta xxx

thought we were back on the subject of losing weight again[ grin] I thought you meant sunk it by bouncing on it too much and being too heavy. LOL!

I made the mistake of having a go on my friend's trampoline recently. Do you know what it does to your pelvic floors post birth?

i exploded a bouncy castle at softplay a while back.

a bit embarassing, that

Filyjonk - sorry but I am

We considered it...... for about 10 mins

A 14' diameter hole, 4' deep - how much earth???

Also, hate to think what animals would get under it, & my dog running doen the garden suddenly bouncing over the hedge!!

Still, the squirrels would have fun bouncing from one tree to the next.

At least free standing we can move it every few weeks to help the grass, or if we want to have a large game of football etc.

Sparkler I thought the same as you I had a you've been framed type incident in mind .

surely the safety net would be better which ever as they could still hurt themselves bouncing off a sunken trampoline?

me. we have sunken 12' one. is brilliant. got professional to dig it out though. if you can do it is much safer and lot less ugly than freestanding with safety net

What's all this wussy talk about safety nets??
Nowt like that in my day (which is probably why i fell of one of the bloody things and snapped top of my humerus clean away.)

exactly... 3 friends of ds's have boken arms bouncing of (non sunken) trampos
ps is all true re pelvic floor

My brother has a sunken one, put in professionally/ by sunken trampoline expert. They did it because elder niece broke her arm falling off an unfenced trampoline.

Also true re pelvic floor.

What's that??
Piss is all true of pelvic floor?!

aw that's cute Skribble

piss is about right md re pelvic floor.... post childbirth pelvic floors cant withstand bouncing on trampo.... distinct danger of pissing yourself (especially if someone makes you laugh)

JUICE - have you found the answer you are looking for yet?

ok i may be being thick here but, surely there wont be much of a bounce if its sunk down? i mean the elastic has nowhere to strecth.

PMSL fm very true!

but if it is sunk it won't need a safety net - no chance of bouncing off!
