The best way to safely anchor your trampoline

A trampoline is a great addition to your garden for both fun and fitness, but it is essential to anchor it properly. Without the right anchoring, a trampoline can blow over or shift in high winds, causing damage or even becoming dangerous. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can follow to safely secure your trampoline so you can enjoy every bounce without worry. In this blog, you will learn how to properly anchor your trampoline.

Why is anchoring important

Anchoring your trampoline is crucial to prevent it from moving during use or blowing over in bad weather. Especially larger trampolines with a large jumping surface can quickly take off in strong winds. Without proper anchoring, the trampoline can not only cause damage to property, but also pose a danger to people in the vicinity. By securely anchoring your trampoline, you not only protect your investment, but also the safety of your family and surroundings.

Choosing the right place

Before you start anchoring, it is important to choose a suitable location:

• Make sure the trampoline is placed on a flat, firm surface, preferably grass.
• Avoid areas where the trampoline may come into contact with trees, fences or other obstacles.
• A soft surface such as grass makes it easier to drive the anchors deep into the ground, providing extra stability.

How to anchor your trampoline step by step

Properly anchoring your trampoline can be easily accomplished in a few steps. Follow these instructions to ensure your trampoline is securely fastened:

1. Choose the correct anchoring method: Depending on the surface, you choose the anchoring option that fits best. Ground anchors are ideal for soft surfaces such as grass or soil.
2. Place the anchors in the ground: Make sure the ground anchors are deep enough in the ground for maximum stability. Tighten or drive them in firmly to prevent them from working loose.
3. Attach the trampoline to the anchors: Use strong straps or ropes to attach the trampoline legs to the ground anchors. Make sure everything is tight and check regularly that the attachments are still firm.
4. Check regularly: After strong winds or intensive use it is important to check the anchors. Re-secure everything if necessary.
