Nice and firm that option Wombat, surely you earned money from Harry Hill with the confused expressions of the kids...

3m diameter, about 700mm deep

Good job!

No need for all that work, all you need is a post hole borer and to sink each leg of the trampoline into the ground until the rim sits on the surface.

Well surely you need quite a large gap underneath as the surface of the trampolene must come down quite a bit when jumped on?!

When we decided to get a bigger trampoline I did away with the digging entirely by simply attaching the disc of mesh directly to the lawn with tent pegs through the metal loops...don't think anyone noticed 8)

The upgrade was financed entirely by Mr Hill's excellent programme

Unfortunately the digging is required for a functional trampoline at ground level, don't forget vent pipe to allow the air to escape during use, otherwise the padding tries to take off...

The chap next door forgot about this, his greenhouse nearly exploded with the back pressure, fortunately for him he got away with just a couple of cracked panes....lucky the door was open and this allowed the pressures to equalise without serious damage

EDIT Although it was very funny watching all the worms and moles being fired into the air out of their tunnels when "Large Mavis" from number 37 had a go on it ๐Ÿ˜†
