Thought I would answer a couple of the most common questions here. The trampoline was a regular above ground model which I removed the middle section of the steel legs. The thick plastic are used for the retaining wall was 300 mm DPC, link below. Finally, the hole has never filled with more than a couple of inches of rain water, even in the middle of winter. If in doubt dig a little deeper and perhaps put a gravel bed in, at worst you can just drop a cheap pump through the gaps in the springs and pump out on the odd occasion you might have a buildup over winter.
I'm planning to do this for my two tykes, 18months and 3yrs, but I was worried it might lose it's bounce if the air can't flow freely underneath, have you found this to be the case at all?
I reckon I can build that not really but does mean the padding flaps up a little, at least when I bounce on it! Easiest option is just stick a 4” pipe from void out and up. (Put some mesh over though as you will prob end up with all the kids toys stuffed down it!
great job with the additional astro turf around it I love that idea! in ground trampolines are the best. its just more fun to not have to worry about getting a serious injury falling off a hull height trampoline
I watched nearly every video you've released over the last month and you have inspired me and my wife to erect some new fences and we are now half way through laying 70 m2 of paving. The most DIY I've ever previously done was put together some Ikea flat pack. Although I say myself its looking quite good and we both have a massive sense of achievement after another full on weekend mixing and laying. Not bad for 2 50 year olds. So glad I didn't find your channel sooner otherwise who knows what might have been built.
4:09 the double hand cup - classic dad move. Used every day. You were a bit late there though fella, gotta pre-empt the DHC, could have ended in tears...for you.
Hi Tim, Jo and kids, All along i thought the kids are going to love this...but lo and behold, it's really for dad. Should've known. I see the chickens were helping out as usual. Good job on the wall, makes such a difference. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
I had sunken a trampoline for my kids a few years ago but the edges gave way over time. I saw you video a few weeks back and used the DPC and steak technique and it worked a treat and looks fantastic. Thanks for the helpful tips.!! New subscriber here 👍👍
Love it.... although I’m dreading the day my wife has this idea. We currently have a 7 week old so there’s time to plan yet! May I just say you go that extra mile for your children and the fun they have and the smiles makes it all worth it! Good on you Tim! Take care. Marc.
I have trying to figure out for months how to do this if it was even possible! I have gone through 3 trampoline nets and just OVER the way it looks in my backyard! This WILL be my project this month!
Great video of your project. I think you did an excellent job with what you put together. My only concern is still a safety concern due to the close proximity of the wall and the fencing. At this early age it may not make much of a difference, but as the kids get older they could end up bouncing right into the wall of even on top of the fencing. Otherwise it looks really like a great space.
Great idea for covering that concrete fence with planks of wood. Now you won't have to worry about your children's safety there. Overall, the playground looks beautiful. By the way, congratulations on your third child. Is it a boy or girl? Thank you for the video. Shalom
Looks great!! I am toying with the idea of doing something like this if I can snag an old trampoline... What I'm curious about is the rain - I don't want to do all this work and then end up with a mosquito pit 😬
I have checked it out of curiosity over two winters and after the heaviest of rainfalls it will have around 2-3” in it which takes a day or so to drain naturally. Depending on how clay like your soil is then it might just be worth digging an additional hole in the middle of the bottom and filling with gravel or just keep a cheap submersible pump on standby if it did become a problem?
Looks great-- a lot of hard work, but end result will be tons of fun for your children. Only thought when seeing this is, why build so close to a wall ?? It would seem a little dangerous for bouncing and falling off the trampoline.
Ross Bagnall yes I would say some sort of soak away. A friend of mine has done this and after some heavy rainfall it just filled with water. You can just dig a small trench and fill it with bits of bricks and stones to help the water drain. It all depends on how porous your soil is at the bottom of the hole so you could get away with not having to do that but for the small amount of work involved digging a little trench I would do it just to be on the safe side
All that done in an afternoon lol Who on earth would give this a thumbs down? Wow the six of you should get a life, if you cant respect a man building something special for his kids there is something wrong with you
You mate are a legend 👍🏻 i am nearly finished my sunken trampoline :) i would love to do a little climbing frame area like yours. Do you have any more videos of the area cheers
Hi, what a brilliant video. I'm going to copy this and do the trampoline idea in my garden. With the legs on the edge, when the kids bounce on it after a while and the rain, has the sides caved in??
Hi. I brought an inground trampoline but the hole in some places goes out a lot further than it should creating a gap between the side of the hole and the trampoline. Please can you advise on the best way to fill these gaps?

Great video! What is the tool that you used at 0:23 to remove the weeds please?
michael wilkinson that would be a children’s garden spade from the supermarket. 😂 Well it worked. 👍

What a great dad. The kids are lucky to have someone so dedicated and loving.
It never cross my mind to lower the legs to dig less. Everything on this project was great.
Your kids can be proud to you to have such a great dad.
Definitely going to do this for my son. Been thinking of getting him a 8ft tramp but worried about broken bones! So this is a great idea!
Wow! What a wonderful dad! I wish my children had the same kind of dad. Bless you sir!!

You’re my role model if I become a dad one day. It’s a big win if my kids are happy when i’m doing this.

Lovely to see your new addition and mum.
I watched this looking for ideas for a trampoline. What I found is inspiration for a dream husband and family. Kudos
The fence work looks amazing! Great work as ever Tim and Co. 😁
That was a labor of love for sure. I love it all! Great job and I am sure the kids love it.

How sweet you have all the cute little animals following you around the whole time to ♥️
What a dad ❤
Excellent work, man!
Thank you!
Fantastic. Just confirmed it's way too much work for me. But fantastic job and who knew you'd need something to retain the walls. Tha ks.
What a great project. The kids will be so happy.
your integrated trampoline is extremely awesome! You are great!
Wow, great job Dad!
I had sunken a trampoline for my kids a few years ago but the edges gave way over time. I saw you video a few weeks back and used the DPC and steak technique and it worked a treat and looks fantastic. Thanks for the helpful tips.!! New subscriber here 👍👍
What do you mean by the edges
Great job ...that fence looks great for a large outdoor chalkboard for the kids .. have one in my garden kids love it ...
Love it.... although I’m dreading the day my wife has this idea. We currently have a 7 week old so there’s time to plan yet! May I just say you go that extra mile for your children and the fun they have and the smiles makes it all worth it! Good on you Tim! Take care. Marc.
Even the worst work they have done I hateit
The turf really gave it a great look
Looks beautiful. Great simple design. Thanks for posting!
such a great dad
So much safer for the children,good job done
Great job. Thanks for sharing this information 🫡🫡
Oh I love the natural shaped wood sooo much!
What a wicked video and it shows what you can do keep up the great videos and it’s great to see the whole family out enjoying it
This is literally genius. Our kids would love this. Awesome stuff!
That’s good innit, so close to the wall and wooden posts sticking out the ground
I have trying to figure out for months how to do this if it was even possible! I have gone through 3 trampoline nets and just OVER the way it looks in my backyard! This WILL be my project this month!
Me to but I'm worried about rain filling the hole up
Amazing job 👍👍 god bless you all . Beautiful family awesome parents ❤️
Loved watching this. Great job
Put a large blackboard on that cladding for the kids. There are other cool games you could put up as well.
Awesome Video, I was pricing the "in-ground kits"and about had a stroke. I like your DIY approach better and it looks great!
£25 second hand trampoline and a week of digging! 😅

unreal transformation
Brilliant job Tim👍🏻
Wow! Now thats amazing and your amazing too. Great work 👍🏽

You are a grafter - respect ✊
Well done fella! Makes me wanna have a go! But really enjoy having ten fingers! 🥴🤣👍
Looks awesome, well done sir
Nice work
omg, yet another favourite video of mine on this channel. what a great project this was. and with 3 kids, this will get used a lot :-))))
great job pal.
Brilliant mate

Now you won't have to worry about your children's safety there.

Is it a boy or girl?
Thank you for the video. Shalom
Great job!
King of DIY !!!
Good job. Turnt out amazing
Wish I found this page sooner. That's really cool and came out great. Also where did you find a roll of turf that big?!
This is awesome
Awesome ...Hat tip to you sir
Am a dad of 5 children, the youngest 3 look to be similar ages to yours, so I have 1 question.....where did you find the time 😂😂 amazing fair play!!
awesome
Great work there Tim. Bonus man points for the big air :D Can't imagine how anyone can give a thumbs down for this of all things!
Great video... and dismount 😂
Awesome idea i would do this but also leave safety net on

Brilliant!! .... Don't forget to cover it up on Bonfire-Night! (Other people's fireworks will find a way, they just Luuuuurv trampolines :-)
Mate, this is brilliant. Just wish I had space
Awesome
Top Work Gent 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Look at daddy
Happy babies 😍
Nice pond you made there 😬
damn bro father of the year
Looks great, but nowhere for the air to escape makes for a lacklustre trampoline?
Looks great-- a lot of hard work, but end result will be tons of fun for your children. Only thought when seeing this is, why build so close to a wall ?? It would seem a little dangerous for bouncing and falling off the trampoline.
Как всегда очень позитивное видео! Спасибо!
Great vid im only thinking where do the water go when it rains? Or do it just sit under it until the sun dry it?
Would there be no need for any kind of drainage system in the pit of the trampoline? Great video!
Ross Bagnall yes I would say some sort of soak away. A friend of mine has done this and after some heavy rainfall it just filled with water. You can just dig a small trench and fill it with bits of bricks and stones to help the water drain.

i so agree. I really don't understand some people.
@@felixreali7101 I disliked 👎
Ren P why?!
You got a like just for the thumbnail🤣🤣
Really wanna do this, just don’t know what if rains? The side dirt going to push towards underneath of trampoline right?
You mate are a legend 👍🏻 i am nearly finished my sunken trampoline :) i would love to do a little climbing frame area like yours. Do you have any more videos of the area cheers
That is sweet
Hi, what a brilliant video. I'm going to copy this and do the trampoline idea in my garden. With the legs on the edge, when the kids bounce on it after a while and the rain, has the sides caved in??
No two years of bouncing and two wet winters and all fine. 👍
Ok so I'm not crazy for thinking of digging without a tractor. Cool
Is the little plastic wall a must when u do the trampoline?
Amazing work. Digging the hole looks backbreaking!! How many hours digging?
Why did you install artificial grass?
MultiKangaroo so he did not have to mow the lawn with all of the stuff in the way
Thinking about doing this, does it need drainage for the water that gets inside?
There’s something funny about sped up chickens
did you set the frame on top of the stakes for extra support or the inside of the stakes?
Nice and fun :)
Did you guys low-key introduced us to the youngest member of your family. I see you Tim.
Hi. I brought an inground trampoline but the hole in some places goes out a lot further than it should creating a gap between the side of the hole and the trampoline. Please can you advise on the best way to fill these gaps?
I’m doing this for my yard. Do you have the video setup?
Putting out videos with a new born, I don’t know how you can do it. There is not enough coffee and hazelnut creamer in the world!
Chh
What are the measurements of the legs after you cut them and what is the depth of the outer and inner hole?
Great work Dad! Does rain hold underneath the trampoline?
No, well nothing more than a puddle for a day before draining.
The chickens hoovering all the worms from the hole 😂
Great work, was wondering when your next vid would be out 👍👍
Look at all those chickens
Hi wonder if you can help, what type of wood was used on the wall sizes of the Battons as well plz
