How Much Do In-ground Trampolines Cost?

Factors Influencing Cost

Trampoline Size and Shape

In-ground trampolines come in various sizes, from compact 4ft models perfect for toddlers to spacious 14ft versions for the whole family. Popular UK sizes include:

Round trampolines: 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, and 14ft options suitable for different garden sizes. Rectangular models, while pricier, offer premium bounce quality and are available in various dimensions to suit your space.

Brand and Model

Different brands offer varying levels of quality and features. Premium brands typically use higher-grade materials and offer more comprehensive warranties, which affects the overall cost but often proves more economical long-term.

Materials and Construction

Quality matters when it comes to in-ground trampolines. Key components that influence cost include:

• Frame materials and coating quality
• Spring type and quantity
• Mat durability and UV protection
• Retaining wall materials

Safety Features

Essential safety features contribute to the total cost but are invaluable for peace of mind. These include safety pads, enclosure nets (which can be removed when not in use), and proper drainage systems.

Typical Cost Ranges

Entry-Level Models

Entry-level in-ground trampolines include models like the Salta Comfort Edition & EXIT Silhouette. While these can seem attractive price-wise, remember that groundwork and drainage systems are additional costs. Even a basic in-ground setup requires proper installation for safety and longevity.

Mid-Range Models

Mid-range options offer an excellent balance of quality and value. These include the Salta Royal Baseground, EXIT Elegant Premium, and BERG Favorit ranges. You'll find improved frame construction, higher spring counts, and more durable mats. Most families find this range offers the best long-term value.

Premium Models

Premium in-ground trampolines from Akrobat and BERG represent the top tier in terms of build quality and performance. The Akrobat Primus Flat and BERG Champion Flatground deliver exceptional quality, while the BERG Pro Bouncer stands as arguably the finest flatground trampoline available. These models feature commercial-grade materials, advanced safety systems, and superior bounce quality.

Installation Costs

DIY Installation

While professional groundwork is recommended, some families choose to tackle this themselves. We've had several customers successfully prepare their sites with help from friends and family. You'll need to consider:

• Equipment hire for excavation
• Materials for drainage system
• Retaining wall supplies

Professional Installation

Professional installation typically involves groundwork arranged with a local contractor for:

• Site excavation
• Drainage system installation
• Retaining wall construction

We offer trampoline installation as an optional add-on service once your groundwork is complete.

Finding the Best Value

Researching Prices

Compare different options but remember that the cheapest isn't always the most cost-effective. Consider factors like warranty coverage, spare parts availability, and expected lifespan.

Reading Reviews

Customer experiences can provide valuable insights into long-term value. Look for reviews mentioning durability, maintenance requirements, and after-sales support. Check out our customer reviews to learn from real experiences.

Considering Long-Term Costs

Factor in ongoing maintenance, potential repairs, and the trampoline's lifespan when calculating total cost of ownership. Quality in-ground trampolines typically last longer than above-ground models, often making them more economical over time.
