Can the trampoline and ballast bags be installed indoors?

Our trampolines and bags have been developed to be installed and used outdoors only.

Can the trampoline and ballast bags be installed on a terrace or hard surface?

It is not recommended to install your trampoline on a terrace or any hard surface(such as tarmac, concrete, tiles, wood etc ...), even with a ballast bag.
Your trampoline will tend to move and will not guarantee your safety.

The ground is dry, how should you attach your trampoline properly?

If your ground is too hard, it is sometimes complicated to use an anchoring kit.
In any case, it is imperative that your trampoline is attached to the ground as securely as possible.
Our team therefore worked on a ballast bag.
It is important to provide the right amount of bags according to your trampoline model, the ground and the weather conditions in your area.
We recommend a minimum of one bag per leg.

Your trampoline moves: should you attach it to the ground?

YES!!!!!

Be sure to install your trampoline on a flat, stable and horizontal surface and secure it to the ground.

An anchoring kit or ballast is essential on your trampoline's legs to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and to keep it stable when in use.

It is important to provide the right amount of bags according to your trampoline model, the ground and the weather conditions in your area.
We recommend a minimum of one bag per leg.

In case of storm and breakage, the warranty does not apply to damaged parts.

Decathlon essential round trampoline ess 365 domyos: User guide and repairs
Should the trampoline and bags be protected during the winter?

In winter, we advise you to remove the posts and protect your trampoline from the weather with a cover.

Ideally, we advise you to dismantle your trampoline and store it during the winter in a weatherproof place (such as a garden shed or garage).
If you store your trampoline and bags in winter and they have been filled with water, we advise you to empty the bags before winter.
This prevents the water from stagnating or freezing.

In case of storms or strong winds, always check that the trampoline is securely attached to the ground and remove the posts and net to reduce the wind drag.

Can the trampoline fly away in strong winds?

YES, this is a major risk.

It is imperative to ballast or secure your trampoline to the ground to ensure your safety and that of your neighbours!

We also advise you to dismantle the poles and put them on your jump canvas and to cover everything with a protective cover.
