In-Ground Trampolines

Why choose an in-ground trampoline?

Rather than jumping on a raised platform, the sunken trampoline is level with the ground, so it's easy for kids to climb on and off, and difficult for them to fall from a height. Your child can still get that exhilarating rush, with minimal risk - and little physical or visual disruption to the landscape.

They offer a similar bouncing experience to traditional above-ground trampolines, without visually dominating the space or causing worry about accidents. You can even buy a trampoline safety net for extra security.

In-ground trampolines are specifically designed for embedding into the ground, and come with all the equipment you need to install them safely. Strong frames and retaining walls ensure that your sunken trampoline stays in place and performs well, without gathering moisture from the soil.

Some parents may have reservations about the accessibility and safety of a kid's trampoline, or even worry that it will be an eyesore in their back garden. Though all above-ground trampolines that we stock at Wicken Toys meet safety standards, in-ground sunken trampolines are also an excellent alternative.

What is a sunken trampoline?

A sunken trampoline is often a term used interchangeably with in-ground trampolines.

They can refer to purpose-built in-ground trampolines, such as BERG’s InGround range, which sits over a bowl-shaped hole and is slightly elevated above the ground, requiring a slight step up (usually just 10 to 20 cms). 

Alternatively, they can also include flat ground trampolines. These are fully flush with the ground’s surface, providing a seamless finish and easy, step-on access from the ground, without the need for a ladder. This can also improve safety, reduce the risk of a drop and eliminate raised edges.

Every sunken trampoline is designed specifically for use in the ground, while a regular trampoline isn’t fit for this purpose. You also won’t have to deal with visible legs or a high frame, avoiding a cluttered appearance in your garden.

Finding the best trampoline

At Wicken Toys, we have small sunken trampolines available for little ones and little gardens, and large in-ground trampolines for older, more adventurous kids and more spacious gardens.

When deciding on size, choose based on the user’s age, height, and weight. Smaller models suit younger children and smaller gardens, but round sunken trampolines range from 9ft to 14ft in diameter. Rectangular, square, and oval trampolines are also available, with the largest being 17ft x 11ft 4". It's important to ensure at least 2 metres of clear space around the trampoline.

Here at Wicken Toys, we stock dozens of sunken trampoline models from BERG, the leading manufacturer of outdoor play equipment. They've been making the finest in-ground trampolines around for many years, and we're proud to work alongside them and sell their play products.

While in-ground sports trampolines are suitable for teenagers aged 14 years and above only, we do offer a variety of standard models suitable for young children aged 6 years and up. These sunken trampolines are a great way of giving your family maximum fun without taking up too much space.

BERG trampolines

The selection of sunken trampolines we supply from BERG, the expert outdoor play equipment manufacturers, is sure to include the ideal option for your garden space. We stock BERG in-ground trampolines at Wicken Toys because we're confident in their quality and longevity, so you can be, too.

The biggest advantage of BERG sunken trampolines is that they're easier to use and conceal, without dominating your outdoor space or compromising your exterior design. Only the top part of the frame protrudes from the ground, so it's simple to climb on and off during playtime.

This means that in-ground trampolines are also more accessible, allowing kids with less mobility to have fun, as well. Digging in a trampoline and adding a net makes an extra-safe place for children of all abilities to bounce around and enjoy themselves outside, encouraging independent play.

With high-quality components, including specially designed springs and vents for better airflow and a successful yet safe bounce, these BERG in-ground sunken trampolines are some of the best on the market. Don't miss your opportunity to make your child's dreams come true with a built-in trampoline for low-risk, high-reward fun and physical development at the same time.

Is an in-ground trampoline worth it?

A robust in-ground trampoline can provide many years of fun, and with proper maintenance, it can last 5–8 years or more, making it an excellent investment for your little ones.

For optimal enjoyment, we recommend teaching your little ones to bounce responsibly, check and tighten screws, and use anti-rust spray on springs. Weatherproofing with a trampoline cover is also an outstanding way to make the most of your purchase.
