What is a FlatGround Trampoline?
A FlatGround trampoline is installed completely flush with your lawn surface - no step up, no frame visible from ground level. Unlike traditional inground trampolines which sit 10-20cm above ground, the BERG FlatGround frame is recessed entirely below the surface, so the jumping mat is perfectly level with your grass.
The result?
A trampoline that looks like it's part of your garden, not added to your garden.
Why Choose BERG Champion FlatGround?
1. Sleekest Design in Ireland
The FlatGround is BERG's most aesthetically refined trampoline. With no visible frame and the jump mat sitting perfectly flush with your lawn, it creates a minimalist, modern look that enhances rather than disrupts your garden design.
Perfect for:
- Modern suburban gardens
- Landscaped properties
- Families who value aesthetics
- Properties with planning considerations
- Anyone who wants the "invisible trampoline" look
2. Maximum Safety Through Design
The flush-with-ground design offers inherent safety advantages:
✅ Lowest possible fall height - Stepping onto the mat is like stepping onto your lawn
✅ No frame to trip over - Everything is below ground level
✅ No ladder needed - Walk-on access from any direction
✅ Reduced wind resistance - More stable in Irish weather
✅ No climbing required - Perfect for younger children
Important Note: This model does not include a safety net. The flush-with-ground design minimizes fall risk naturally, but adult supervision is always recommended, especially for younger children.
3. Premium BERG Performance
Just because it's hidden doesn't mean it's basic. The Champion FlatGround includes all of BERG's premium technologies:
TwinSpring Gold System
- V-shaped double spring arrangement
- 50% more springs than budget trampolines
- Longer spring life in Irish weather
- Superior bounce control
- Larger optimal jumping zone
AirFlow Jump Mat
- Perforated design allows 50% more airflow
- Reduces air resistance for higher, smoother jumps
- Professional-quality bounce
- UV-resistant and weatherproof
- Heavy-duty stitching at all stress points
Galvanized Frame
- Hot-dip galvanized inside and out
- Black powder coating for corrosion resistance
- Engineered for Irish maritime climate
- 13-year warranty (with registration)
4. Built for Irish Weather
The BERG Champion FlatGround is engineered in the Netherlands - a country with a similar maritime climate to Ireland. This means it's designed from the ground up to handle:
✅ Constant rain - Drainage system prevents water pooling
✅ High winds - Low profile = exceptional wind resistance
✅ UV exposure - Premium materials resist sun damage
✅ Temperature fluctuations - Performs year-round
✅ Coastal conditions - Galvanized steel resists rust
Many of our customers in Galway, Cork, and along the west coast specifically choose FlatGround models because they're virtually immune to being blown over - even in Atlantic storms.

Safety Information
Adult Supervision Required
While the FlatGround design is inherently safer than above-ground trampolines due to the reduced fall height, adult supervision is essential - especially for children under 10.
One Person at a Time
For maximum safety, BERG recommends one jumper at a time. Multiple jumpers increase collision risk and can lead to injuries.
No Safety Net Available
BERG does not manufacture safety nets for FlatGround models. The flush-with-ground design reduces the need for a net, but this means:
- Extra vigilance is needed for younger children
- Users should stay in the center of the jumping area
- Somersaults and tricks should only be attempted by experienced jumpers
- Parents should assess if this is appropriate for their children's ages and abilities
If a safety net is essential for your family, consider the BERG Champion InGround (sits 10-20cm above ground, compatible with safety nets).
Maintenance
Weekly:
- Remove leaves and debris
- Check for standing water (indicates drainage issue)
Monthly:
- Inspect springs for tension
- Check padding for wear
- Clear drainage system if needed
Annually:
- Tighten all bolts
- Inspect frame for any corrosion (rare with BERG)
- Check mat stitching
Winter:
- Consider a weather cover during prolonged storms
- Clear snow buildup
- Ensure drainage system is clear
In Irish conditions, your Champion FlatGround should last 10-15 years with minimal maintenance.
Warranty
BERG Warranty Coverage:
Frame: 13 years (with product registration)
Springs & Jump Mat: 5 years
Padding: 2 years

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission?
Generally, no. Trampolines are considered "temporary garden structures" and don't usually require planning permission in Ireland. However:
- Check with your local council if you're in a protected area
- Respect boundary distances (usually 1m+ from property line)
- Consider neighbor sightlines, though FlatGround is less intrusive
Can I install this in clay soil?
Yes, but drainage is critical. Clay soil is common in Dublin, Kildare, and Meath but doesn't drain naturally. You'll need a robust drainage system with perforated pipe leading to a soakaway or existing drain. We strongly recommend professional installation for clay soil.
How long does professional installation take?
Typically 1-2 days:
- Day 1: Excavation and drainage system
- Day 2: Frame installation, assembly, testing
Can I move it after installation?
No. FlatGround trampolines are permanent installations. The frame is cemented in place and moving it would require excavation and reinstallation.
Is it safe without a safety net?
The flush-with-ground design significantly reduces fall risk compared to above-ground trampolines. However, safety always depends on:
- User age and ability
- Adult supervision
- Following safety rules (one person at a time, no somersaults)
If you feel a net is essential, consider the BERG Champion InGround instead.
What happens to water when it rains?
With proper drainage installed, rainwater flows through the perforated mat, down through the gravel base, and out through the drainage pipe. The mat should never pool water.
Can I install it on a slope?
Not recommended. FlatGround trampolines require a level surface. Significant leveling work would be needed on slopes, increasing installation cost and complexity.
How deep is the pit?
90cm from finished lawn level. This allows for:
- 80cm of frame clearance below the mat
- 10cm base layer of gravel for drainage
Do I need to dig grass up around the edges?
The frame extends about 15-20cm beyond the mat diameter, so yes - a slightly larger area than the jumping surface needs excavating. Grass can be restored right up to the frame edge after installation.
Can adults use it?
Yes! The 12.5ft and 14ft models are rated for adult use (up to 100kg per person). Many Irish families with teenagers choose FlatGround specifically so parents can join in safely.
What if my water table is high?
High water tables (common in western Ireland and low-lying areas) make FlatGround installation more challenging. The drainage system must lead to a functional outlet. In extreme cases, a sump pump may be needed. Professional assessment is essential.
Can I install it on decking?
No. FlatGround trampolines are designed for ground installation in soil/earth only.
