Are you suggesting a ground level one, or should the OP dig a hole deep enough to hide the top of it?

Or lay it on it's side to avoid risk of injury caused by swinging.

Swing should be in a half pipe to maintain a constant distance between swing and ground.

We've got the swing... I built one with a 10ft high cross bar, slide and 2 swings earlier in the year 🙂 My favourite game is to see if I can push the kids fast enough on it for them to make a whistling sound as they speed through the air

Your kids are scared of ladders? Are you sure a trampoline is the thing for them?

Ah, now I understand, the trampoline is going in front of the swing, so they can jump off the swing onto the trampoline?

Ah i see what you mean.

Have you considered that you're digging a big pond?

Yes, mitigated with a sump at the bottom. If it pools I'll chuck a wee pond pump down there.

Should probably tell kids it's not ok to wee under the trampoline.

I'd prefer that to the places they're peeing in at the moment!!!

Pretty much filled the 8 yard skip, along with some of the other rubble lying around the garden. Though the 100cm deep hole plan was thwarted by a clay drainpipe right in the middle of the hole at 70cm deep, forcing the spec to be changed to a slightly raised trampoline with a nice grass banking! 🙂

Looks great though. Thanks for the maths.
