I have a 10x17 rectangle olympic tramp thats going in the ground this summer. i know how to do it i just want to know how long and how much it costed someone else to do it. Anyone done shit like this before? and did you cement the base of the hole
 
I rented one of these:

Funnest thing ever and it makes life so much easier.

Then I lined the hole with some anti-root cloth. and I just put some big as stones beneath the legs of the trampoline.

 
you're gunna have to rent some baller machine to get it done. my buddies dad owns a rock business so he just came over and made a fat hole in the ground when we got a tramp. its pretty cool to be able to just walk onto a tramp
 
also forgot to say that we didn't reinforce the walls or lay down any gravel or anything and its just fine 3 years later
 
invite your friends over to have a BBQ get drunk and watch them dig. and say "im tendin the barby" and op wont have to dig.
 
YEah rent a mini excavator. That hole is waaay to big to dig by hand. Just make sure you get ahold of the utility companies to make sure your not gonna hit anything. IN california they have a program called dig alert and its free, im sure your state has something. ANyways, 600 bucks (estimate) for an excavator for the day is much easier than 4 months of digging.
 
I helped my friend (and neighbor) out this summer with it, they rented out a big ol machine and dug for roughly 2 brief days. They were building walls during the digging period and we just tossed them in to the hole, packed them up against the dirt walls, and it has held up great. Such a fun way to trampoline! Message me if you need more details.
 
This guy understands the importance of making sure your trampoline is placed in the ground correctly.

1. Dig a big hole

2. Fill hole with concrete

3. Fill hole with water

4. Drop mattress into water

5. Place trampoline on top of mattress, in water
 
no experience in this but fill the bottom with gravel? for drainage and so it doest sink into the ground
