What Are In-Ground Trampolines, and Are They Safer for Your Family?
January 22, 2024
Kids love playing on trampolines, but these summertime staples make parents a little anxious. It’s understandable since traditional trampolines stand high off the ground, and jumping sends their kids higher still.
The solution is in-ground trampolines. This twist on traditional trampolines is gaining popularity with parents and children alike. It fits seamlessly into a natural or artificial turf landscape, increasing home aesthetics without sacrificing the fun.
Added to peace of mind is the durability of in-ground trampolines. Your investment in an in-ground trampoline will take you much further than above-ground trampolines, and with expert installation by Luxe Lawns, you can save yourself the assembly process, too!
Read on to learn why in-ground trampolines are safer and more cost-effective than traditional above-ground trampolines.
Traditional vs. In-Ground Trampolines
What is the difference between in-ground and traditional trampolines? It’s right in the name. In-ground trampolines are installed beneath the ground, their mats flush with the lawn.
You can see how this approach creates a safer space for children. They’re also easier to get off—just bounce or step onto the ground. They’re more aesthetically pleasing and take up less space in your yard, freeing you up to install additional hardscape features.
In-ground trampolines require expert installation, which is better for you since you won’t have to worry about reading instructions. Luxe Lawns offers premium in-ground trampoline installation alongside synthetic grass products that increase safety and style.
Reducing Fall Injuries
Fall injuries are the primary concern of parents. 90 percent of trampoline injuries occur in children ages 5 to 15. For this reason, an in-ground trampoline is the best choice for your Arizona home and family.
These injuries range from sprains to fractured bones and even brain injuries. We aren’t playing around when saying in-ground trampolines can protect your children from significant damage. Spend money on an in-ground trampoline, not a visit to the ER.
Since in-ground trampolines are flush with the ground, your children won’t be able to reach such dangerous heights, heavily minimizing the chance of significant injuries. Install playground turf around your trampoline for an extra layer of security.
Increased Weather Resistance
In-ground trampolines protect your wallet, too! Since they’re installed beneath the ground, they aren’t exposed to harsh weather conditions like above-ground trampolines. This prevents damage from frost, rust, and intense sunshine.
Heavy winds often blow above-ground trampolines over. This tumbling damages the structural integrity and forces you to wrestle it back into place. In-ground trampolines will withstand the fiercest winds without a problem.
While sun exposure can still damage certain trampoline parts, all you have to do is install your in-ground trampoline in a shaded area to prevent this damage. Given their lack of height, this is significantly easier to achieve.
Adding synthetic turf further protects your in-ground trampoline. The advanced drainage systems in artificial grass prevent water buildup, keeping hinges and springs dry.
No Need for a Net
Here’s another expense you can say goodbye to. Above-ground trampolines require nets to prevent children from falling off and hurting themselves. Given that in-ground trampolines are—well, in the ground, there’s no need for a net.
In-ground trampolines offer a more reliable safety guarantee than trampoline nets. These nets fray over time, and holes can open up without you realizing it. They cause injuries of their own, with falls sometimes causing irritating burns.
In-ground trampolines are the only way to guarantee your children’s safety. It’s a bonus that you won’t have to invest in or replace these safety nets.
