Here’s a quick inground and regular trampoline comparison post for those looking to make a decision. An inground trampoline differs from a regular trampoline in that you lay the jumping surface flush with the ground. This is achieved by digging a trench beneath the jumping surface. The result is a much tidier appearance in your garden and greater ease of access since there is no raised platform to mount to use the trampoline. This can also reduce falling injuries, as many injuries occur while mounting a regular trampoline.
What are the downsides of an inground?
The trade-off is that once your inground trampoline is placed, you probably will not be moving it any time soon. You will need to dig a suitable trench, which will take time and work. Naturally, filling in the trench will leave a patch of bare soil for some time before grass can regrow. So the best thing to do is ensure that you find the ideal spot; One that will work all year round before you. This is why a regular trampoline is the right choice for many situations. It is mobile, which means you can take it down during periods when it is not going to be in use. That also allows you to move the trampoline to a better location at different times of the day and year, so you can stay in the shade when it’s too warm or move into the sun when it’s getting cool.
Inground and Regular Trampoline Comparison
Both Berg’s inground and regular trampolines use Airflow technology. This aerated jumping surface allows about 50% more air to pass through. This reduces resistance considerably, giving you more bounce for your buck. The effect is diminished in the inground trampoline since the trench creates more of a vacuum and creates slightly more resistance despite the Airflow technology. However, the effect will not dampen the fun considerably, so this is more of a consideration for professional or highly skilled trampoliners. Both types come in all shapes and sizes to suit different kids and adults.
