What is an InGround Trampoline?
An InGround trampoline sits in a shallow pit (60-80cm deep), with the jumping mat positioned 10-20cm above ground level. This creates a low-profile design that's:
✅ Safer - Reduced fall height compared to above-ground trampolines
✅ More stable - Excellent wind resistance (critical in Irish weather)
✅ More attractive - Minimal visual impact on your garden
✅ More accessible - Easy step-up for all ages
✅ Compatible with safety nets - Unlike FlatGround models
Unlike FlatGround trampolines (which sit flush with ground), InGround models have a small step up to the mat, but gain compatibility with BERG's premium safety net systems - often the best choice for families with younger children.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission?
Generally no. Trampolines are "temporary structures" and don't usually require permission. However:
- Check local council if in conservation area
- Respect boundary distances (1m+ from property line recommended)
- Consider neighbor views (though InGround is low-profile)
Why rectangular instead of round?
Rectangular delivers:
- Higher, more controlled bounce
- Maximum jumping space
- Professional performance
- Multiple jump zones for several users
- Better for gymnastics, tricks, training
Round is better for:
- Pure recreational bouncing
- Younger children (centers bounce to middle)
- Simpler, more affordable option
Can I install this in clay soil?
Yes! Many of our Dublin, Kildare, and Meath customers have clay soil. Key requirements:
- Robust drainage system essential
- Perforated pipe to functional drain
- Professional installation recommended
- Budget extra €100-150 for drainage materials
How long does installation take?
Professional: 1 day typical (excavation + assembly)
DIY: 1.5-2 days (includes learning curve)
Can I move it after installation?
Technically yes, but not recommended. Moving requires:
- Disassembly
- New pit excavation at new location
- Drainage system reinstallation
- Significant labor and cost
Consider InGround as permanent installation.
What's the difference between Deluxe and Deluxe XL nets?
Deluxe XL:
- Approximately 30cm taller poles
- Better for teenagers and serious jumpers
- Maximum safety margin
- +€150-200 vs standard Deluxe
Both feature:
- Curved poles outside jump area
- Self-closing entrance
- Premium mesh
- Excellent quality
Recommendation: Deluxe for younger children, XL for teenagers/athletes.
Do I need a safety net?
We recommend YES for:
- Families with children under 14
- Multiple children using trampoline
- Anyone doing tricks or gymnastics
- Maximum peace of mind
You might skip the net if:
- Only teenagers/adults using
- Experienced jumpers only
- Want to save €200-450
- Prefer open jumping aesthetic
You can always add a net later (available as separate purchase).
How does drainage work in winter?
Properly installed drainage systems work year-round:
- Gravel doesn't freeze solid
- Perforated pipe continues flowing
- Mat snow/ice melts and drains naturally
- No pooling issues even in freeze-thaw cycles
Can adults use it?
Absolutely! BERG Grand Champion is rated for:
- 100kg per person
- Adult recreational use
- Fitness workouts
- Parent-child jumping (one at a time!)
Many Irish families with teenagers specifically choose Grand Champion so parents can join safely.
Will it rust in Irish weather?
Extremely unlikely. BERG frames are:
- Hot-dip galvanized inside and out
- Powder coated for additional protection
- Engineered for maritime climates
- 13-year warranty covers rust
We've sold hundreds in coastal Irish locations (Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork) with zero rust issues.
What if I have a high water table?
High water tables (common in low-lying areas, near rivers):
- Make drainage system design critical
- May need sump pump in extreme cases
- Professional site assessment recommended
- Sometimes FlatGround isn't feasible but InGround works (less deep)
Contact us for free site assessment advice.
Can I install on a slope?
Slight slope: Usually manageable with leveling during installation
Moderate slope: Significant leveling work needed, increases cost
Steep slope: Not recommended - extensive terracing required
Free consultation to assess your specific situation.
