North In-ground Trampoline Kits have been designed for ease-of- assembly and DIY install. Over 80% of our customers do the assembly and installation themselves, or with the assistance of family and friends.
Many customers also use local gardening or landscape companies or just employ some local muscle to assist with the digging of the hole.

Our trampolines have been designed to install yourself, how long it takes depends on the size of trampoline you choose and whether you dig by hand or hire an excavator. Digging by hand we'd say allow a weekend to complete the job, if you hire an excavator you'll easily do it in a day.
No! Our in-ground trampoline kit has a retaining wall built in, making it even easier to install at home. The retaining wall easily screws onto the frame into pre-drilled holes.
This depends on the size of trampoline you choose and how energetic you're feeling!
We'd recommend digging the 300 cm and 300 cm x 190 cm sizes by hand as it's actually easier to get the bowl shape you need with a spade than an excavator. But for the largest sizes hiring an excavator will definitely make less work for you.
The amount of soil you need to excavate will vary depending on which size trampoline you are installing.
For the smaller size trampolines you will fill a 6-yard skip (300 cm x 190 cm, 300 cm) for the medium size trampolines you will fill an 8-yard skip (360 cm x 250 cm) and for the larger trampolines (430 cm, 460 cm x 310 cm and 520 cm x 370 cm) you may need to arrange for a grab lorry to come and collect the soil.
If you are able to use the soil in your garden for raised beds or levelling ground etc. then you will save the cost of a skip or grab lorry!
In most cases, a simple soak away as described in the instructions should be sufficient to ensure your trampoline pit drains well. For some gardens that have a high density of clay you may need to consider alternative drainage options such as the ones outlined in our blog.
If you do not have a net on your trampoline then you should leave at least 1.5m around the perimeter of the trampoline to avoid the user bouncing off the trampoline into a potential hazard such as a tree or fence.
You should also make sure that there are no hard surfaces within this area such as a stone pathway.
Fortunately, the North Inground Trampolines are relatively maintenance free! It always helps to prolong the life of your trampoline pads and jump mat if you purchase a cover.
Likewise keeping your trampoline clean of general garden debris such as fallen leaves, twigs and mud will help maintain all elements of the trampoline. We recommend that you check all parts regularly and replace any worn out parts as soon as you notice them.
