Using A Sky Bouncer Trampoline On Unlevel Ground

A sky bouncer trampoline, like any trampoline, must be set up on a even surface. It is unsafe to jump on any trampoline that is on unlevel ground, even if it is an enclosure trampoline. If the ground under the trampoline is uneven you must try one of the following suggestions to remedy the situation.

The easiest and fastest way to make a trampoline level is to dig out the dirt from under the edge of the trampoline where the it rests on the ground. Place the trampoline where you want it to go and mark the areas where you will need to dig. Then move the trampoline and use a shovel to move enough dirt so that the trampoline surface is level when you put it back into place.

To be sure that the trampoline is level, using a level set on the trampoline surface is recommended. You will have to move the trampoline again and remove more dirt if the surface is not level. No one should jump on the trampoline until it’s surface is level.

Bricks, wooden shims, and blocks should not be used to raise the low side of the trampoline. The trampoline is likely to shift when these items are used. Do not place objects underneath the trampoline while it is in use.

Enclosure trampolines must also be be leveled. The enclosure is designed to prevent users from suffering serious injury. A user can suffer minor injuries such as brush burns when colliding with an enclosure. Also, the safety enclosure is not designed to withstand repeated collisions.

Moving dirt from around the edges may not be enough to level an air trampoline. It may be necessary to level the ground under the entire area that the trampoline covers. This is especially true if the ground is very uneven. You do not want to have a mound of dirt under the jumping surface.

You may need professional equipment to level the area for a sky bouncer trampoline if there is too much ground to move with a shovel. Dirt is quite heavy, and it is tiring to move more than a small amount with a shovel. If you have to level a large area of ground then you may want to contact a professional excavator to do the job for you.

Please make sure that the surface of the sky bouncer trampoline is level before allowing anyone to use it. If the ground is only slightly uneven then moving a little dirt with a shovel should solve the problem. However, moving a lot of dirt will probably require professional help. It is well worth the trouble to make sure that your trampoline is safe to use.
