How an In-Ground Trampoline Install Works
1. Excavation
A purpose-built pit is dug based on the trampoline size and shape.
2. Retaining Wall Construction
This prevents soil collapse and ensures long-term structural integrity.
3. Drainage Planning
We help you determine what drainage method is right for your yard.
4. Frame & Pad Installation
Your custom frame is installed flush with grade, then padded for a clean finish.
5. Final Landscaping
Grass, stonework, or decking transitions seamlessly into the trampoline edge.
Engineered for Proper In-Ground Performance
Installing a trampoline in the ground isn’t as simple as digging a hole and dropping it in. In-ground systems require proper airflow, moisture management, and structural reinforcement—otherwise the trampoline can lose bounce, collect water, or shift over time.
Every Crazy Ape in-ground trampoline is designed with:
- Optimized airflow systems to prevent bounce loss
- Moisture-resistant, galvanized components for long-term durability
- Precision-fit padding that seals cleanly into landscape features
- Custom design consideration for sloped, rocky, or irregular yards
With you every step of the way
Installing a trampoline in the ground requires planning, correct excavation, and proper ventilation, but with the right preparation, it’s a smooth, straightforward process.
We provide:
- Detailed installation guides
- CAD drawings for custom builds
- Drainage + airflow recommendations
- On-call support for your contractor or landscaper
Whether you're doing it DIY with a contractor or hiring a landscape pro, an in-ground trampoline is a project that benefits from experience. Our team has supported hundreds of backyards, home gyms, and custom builds, and we make sure you (and your installer) have everything you need.
Custom-Fit Solutions for Every Yard
Built to Fit Your Space, Not Force Your Space to Fit It
Every backyard is different: soil types, slopes, drainage, landscaping, architecture, and available space all play a role in how an in-ground trampoline should be installed. A “standard kit” rarely accounts for real-world yards. That’s why we design every Crazy Ape in-ground system to fit your exact environment, not the other way around.
We help you navigate:
- Uneven or sloped yards that require stepped or tiered wall construction
- Clay, sand, and mixed soils that change drainage and pit design
- High-water areas where sump or drain tile systems protect your trampoline
- Tight yard layouts that require custom shapes or padding
- Landscaping integration so your trampoline sits clean, flush, and seamless

Frequently asked questions
How much does an in-ground trampoline cost?
The total cost of an in ground trampoline project can vary depending on the trampoline size, installation style, excavation, drainage, retaining wall requirements, and the quality of the trampoline itself. This guide explains what homeowners should expect when budgeting for a proper in ground trampoline installation.
Can I DIY an in-ground trampoline installation?
DIY in-ground trampoline installation is possible as long as you have access to the correct tools; It's as simple as digging a pit and installing a retaining wall.
Proper pit depth, sidewall grading, airflow clearance, and drainage design are critical for long-term performance. Mistakes can lead to water pooling, poor bounce, shifting soil, or structural issues.
We provide pit drawings, installation guidance, and direct support for homeowners, landscapers, and contractors to ensure it is built correctly the first time.
Above-Ground vs In Ground Trampoline: Which One Is Better?
Both above-ground and in ground trampolines can be great options, but they serve different needs. This comparison covers appearance, safety, installation, maintenance, performance, and long-term value so you can decide which option is the better fit for your backyard.
Do in-ground trampolines have drainage problems?
Without proper drainage, they can.
Because an in-ground trampoline sits below grade, rainwater naturally collects in the pit. A proper in-ground trampoline drainage system, such as gravel bases, perimeter drains, or sump solutions, prevents standing water and protects the frame and foundation.
Drainage should always be part of the original installation plan.
Do in-ground trampolines attract snakes or animals?
In some regions, a below-grade pit can attract wildlife looking for cool, shaded shelter.
Good drainage, clean landscaping, sealed gaps, and proper pit construction significantly reduce this risk. If snakes or small animals are a concern in your area, we can guide you on preventative measures during planning.
Are in-ground trampolines safer than above-ground trampolines?
In ground trampolines can offer a cleaner look and a lower profile, but safety still depends on the quality of the trampoline, the padding, the installation, and the space around it. This guide breaks down the real safety differences between in ground and above-ground trampolines.
Why choose a premium in-ground trampoline over a cheaper option?
An in ground trampoline is meant to be a more permanent backyard feature, which means the trampoline itself needs to be built for long-term use. This guide explains why lightweight, low-cost trampolines are often a poor fit for in ground installations and why frame strength, padding quality, and durability matter.
How to Plan Your Backyard for an In Ground Trampoline?
Before installing an in ground trampoline, it is important to think through location, yard slope, drainage, clearance, access, and how the trampoline will fit into the rest of your outdoor space. This guide walks through the key planning steps before you start digging.
