A trampoline must be set up on an even surface, and a sky bouncer trampoline is no exception. Safety will be compromised if a trampoline is on unlevel ground. Try one of the following suggestions if the ground underneath the trampoline is unlevel.

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.

Make sure that the trampoline is level before any one uses it. Placing a level set on the trampoline's surface will verify whether the trampoline is actually level or not. If the level set shows that the trampoline is not level, you will have to move the trampoline and dig more dirt.

Placing objects underneath the trampoline to level it is a safety hazard. While it may seem like a quick fix, the trampoline is likely to shift while it is in use. Wooden shims, blocks, or bricks, should never be used to level a trampoline.

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.

A professional excavator may have to be contacted if the area your sky bouncer trampoline will be used has too much dirt to be moved with a shovel. Using the equipment an excavator has at his disposal will be more logical, as it is tiring to move more than a small amount of dirt with a shovel.

Before allowing anyone to use the sky bouncer trampoline, please make sure that the surface is level. Moving a little dirt with a shovel only works if the grond is slightly uneven. Professional help is required when there is a lot of dirt to be moved. The trouble it takes to make sure that your trampoline is safe is well worth it.
