Option 2: With Deluxe XL Safety Net
Why Only XL Available:

- Standard 180cm net insufficient for flush design + rectangular bounce
- 210cm XL net provides proper protection

Features:
- 30cm taller than standard (210cm total)
- Curved poles outside jumping area
- Self-closing entrance
- UV-resistant mesh
- Attachment every 15cm
- Black aesthetic
- 2-year warranty
Perfect For:
- Families with teenagers (13-17)
- Athletes practicing advanced tricks
- Anyone wanting safety with performance

Safety Net Configuration
Option 1: No Safety Net
The Pure FlatGround Experience:
What You Get:
- Completely flush rectangular frame
- Black powder-coated sleek design
- Protective padding around perimeter
- Walk-on access from any angle
- Zero visual impact
- Ultimate minimalist aesthetic
Safety Reality:
Recommended For:
- Experienced jumpers only (14+ years minimum)
- Adults and confident teenagers
- Those with proper trampoline training
- Responsible, safety-conscious users
NOT Recommended For:
- Children under 14
- Beginners or inexperienced jumpers
- Multiple simultaneous users
- Anyone doing advanced tricks without training
The Flush Factor: While only 0cm high (safer than above-ground's 100cm), the lack of safety net means users must be experienced and responsible.
Supervision Essential:
Even experienced users should follow safety rules:
- One person at a time
- No tricks without proper training
- Adult awareness of usage
- Respect the equipment
Option 2: Deluxe XL Safety Net
Why Only XL Available on FlatGround:
Engineering Reason:
- Flush design + rectangular high bounce = need maximum net height
- Standard 180cm insufficient for this combination
- 210cm XL provides proper protection
- Professional-height enclosure essential
Professional-Grade Features:
- 30cm taller than standard (210cm total)
- Curved poles for structural strength
- Poles positioned OUTSIDE jumping area
- Self-closing entrance (no zippers!)
- UV-resistant tight mesh
- Attachment points every 15cm
- Black aesthetic matching frame
- 2-year warranty
Perfect For:
- Families with athletic teenagers (13-17)
- Anyone doing tricks/flips/routines
- Those wanting safety with performance
- Multiple family members using
- Peace of mind while training
Aesthetic Impact:
Adding net means poles extend above ground level, reducing the "invisible" flush aesthetic. Trade-off between complete flush minimalism and safety protection.
Which Configuration?
Choose NO NET if:
- ā Adults/experienced teens 14+ only
- ā Aesthetics absolutely paramount
- ā Responsible, trained users only
- ā Walk-on access essential
- ā Pure flush design desired
Choose DELUXE XL NET if:
- ā Any users aged 13-17
- ā Advanced tricks/training
- ā Safety priority
- ā Multiple family members
- ā Any doubt about user experience
Our Honest Recommendation: Unless you are certain users are experienced and responsible (and over 14), choose the XL net. You cannot add it easily later, and the safety benefit far outweighs the aesthetic compromise.
Installation - Professional Required
Why Professional Installation is ESSENTIAL
FlatGround is Most Complex:
Critical Factors:
- Deepest excavation (90-100cm vs 60-70cm for InGround)
- Perfect flush alignment (0cm tolerance - must be exact)
- Rectangular precision (square corners, level base)
- Advanced drainage (deepest pit = highest water risk)
- Frame leveling critical (flush installation unforgiving)
Cost of Mistakes:
- Improper drainage = unusable after rain
- Uneven installation = visible, unprofessional look
- Frame not level = performance and safety issues
- Water accumulation = frame damage
- Poor installation = very expensive to fix
Professional Installation Cost: ā¬500-900 depending on size, location, soil type
Ā
Professional Installation Process:
Step 1: Site Assessment (Pre-Installation)
- Detailed garden survey
- Soil type analysis
- Underground utility check
- Drainage requirements assessment
- Access evaluation
Step 2: Excavation (Day 1)
- Mark exact rectangular pit location
- Excavate to precise depth (90-100cm)
- Create perfect level base
- Square corners precisely
- Prepare for drainage system
Step 3: Drainage System (Day 1-2)
- Install substantial base gravel layer (20cm+)
- Lay perforated drainage pipes
- Connect to garden drainage/soakaway
- Test drainage flow
- Critical in Irish weather!
Step 4: Frame Installation (Day 2)
- Position frame in pit
- Achieve perfect flush alignment (0cm tolerance)
- Ensure absolute level
- Secure and stabilize
- Check alignment repeatedly
Step 5: Assembly (Day 2)
- Install TwinSpring Gold PRO springs
- Attach AirFlow mat
- Apply protective padding
- Install XL net if chosen
- Multiple quality checks
Step 6: Finishing (Day 2-3)
- Restore grass to frame edge
- Final flush alignment verification
- Drainage system test
- Full safety inspection
- User briefing
Timeline: 2-3 days typical for professional installation
Optional Accessories
Weather Cover
Available for all sizes (specify size when ordering)
Honest Assessment:
Very Few FlatGround Owners Use Covers:
- FlatGround is flush - already somewhat protected
- Rectangular covers are large and unwieldy
- Effort usually not maintained long-term
- Most families give up on covers
Consider IF:
- Extreme tree coverage (heavy leaf problem)
- Extended non-use period (months)
- Extremely disciplined about covering
- West coast extreme exposure
What it Protects:
- UV protection for mat
- Debris accumulation prevention
- Padding protection
- Frame cleanliness
Our Honest Advice: Unless very specific circumstances, save your money. FlatGround trampolines last 12-15 years without covers in Irish conditions. Invest in drainage quality instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is FlatGround worth the extra cost vs InGround?
FlatGround costs more because:
- Deeper excavation (90-100cm vs 60-70cm)
- More complex installation
- Advanced drainage required
- Higher material costs
- Professional expertise premium
Worth it if:
- ā Aesthetics are paramount
- ā Complete flush design desired
- ā Premium property investment
- ā Long-term ownership
- ā Budget allows
InGround better if:
- Budget is consideration
- 10-20cm raised acceptable
- Want standard net option
- Easier installation preferred
Honest Answer: For most families, InGround (10-20cm raised) offers 90% of the aesthetic benefit at lower cost. FlatGround is for those wanting absolute perfection.
Should I get the XL safety net or not?
Get XL net if:
- ā ANY users under 14
- ā Multiple family members using
- ā Anyone doing tricks/advanced skills
- ā Safety priority
- ā Any doubt whatsoever
Skip net if:
- Adults/experienced teens 14+ only
- Aesthetics absolutely paramount
- All users trained and responsible
- Walk-on access essential
- Accept increased risk
Our Strong Recommendation: Unless you are absolutely certain about experienced users only, get the XL net. Cannot easily add later, and safety far outweighs aesthetic compromise.
Can I DIY FlatGround installation?
Our honest answer: NO.
Why not:
- Most complex trampoline installation
- 90-100cm deep excavation
- Drainage must be perfect
- Flush alignment has zero tolerance
- Cost of mistakes very high
- Professional tools required
- Expertise essential
Even experienced DIYers should use professionals for FlatGround. This is not the place to save money.
Professional installation ā¬500-900 - worth every penny for guaranteed quality.
Which size should I choose?
Quick Guide:
- Compact (220x330cm): Narrow gardens, 2-3 users
- Medium (250x410cm): Most popular, best value ā
- Large (3mx5m): Elite athletes, large families, maximum
Also consider:
- Garden space (measure carefully!)
- Installation cost (larger = more expensive)
- User numbers and ages
- Performance needs
Not sure? Call: 01 960 1641
What about drainage in clay soil?
Clay soil is challenging but manageable:
- Professional installation essential
- Advanced drainage system required
- Budget extra ā¬200-300 for drainage
- Ongoing maintenance important
- Professional expertise critical
We've installed FlatGrounds successfully in:
- Dublin clay
- Kildare heavy soil
- Cork clay areas
- Meath challenging ground
Key: Professional installer with clay soil experience.
How long does installation take?
Professional installation: 2-3 days
Day 1:
- Site preparation
- Excavation
- Base drainage layer
Day 2:
- Drainage system completion
- Frame installation
- Trampoline assembly
Day 3 (if needed):
- Finishing touches
- Grass restoration

Can I add a net later if I start without one?
Technically possible but:
- XL net must be ordered separately
- Installation complex after the fact
- More expensive than choosing initially
- May require additional work
- Much easier to start with net
Our advice: Decide on net during initial purchase. Much simpler than adding later.
