Anyone fancy digging me a 5ft x 10ft circular deep hollow hole?

Me and the OH have had an idea of sinking our trampoline into the ground - it would prevent people stealing it and also stop the chance of a wandering dog going under it in the shade from getting bounced on.. It will have the netting round it to stop anything ripping it and the dogs from going on it - as much as they would love too! They go on it now from time to time but just to sunbathe..

But I really don't want to dig the hole for it to go in - any takers?

Nah...... I'll let you youngsters get on with it!

Rather you than me!

i like the idea!
but it also means the trampoline cant really move anywhere at all once its sunk in! imagine if you decide to move house!

I know - I wanna get a digger in but we'll have to have a crane - cos I ain't taking out the hedges for it

It'll come with us if we move - but I don't think I like the idea of moving houses all the time - once I'm settled I aint moving!

No offers?

Do you know any young lads who fancy earning a little bit of money? It's going to take a serious amount of digging to dig 5' down, let alone with it being 10' wide. The hole my stepdad dug for the dog's pool is probably 2-3' deep and the soil was getting pretty tough at that level, and it was only 3-4' wide. You may have to consider that digger as a serious idea, or at the very least get several people helping out.

ye id do it no problems dunno how far you are from me tho?

Thats not a bad idea, our trampoline takes up a lot of space but not sure we could dig the hole , what about when it rains ? could have a big puddle !

you would have to build drainage obviously to a soak away so the rest of the garden dont swamp

yes , quite a big job then possibly ? SLB got me thinking it might save space for us too , cant talk them into getting rid of it that would be easier !!

well im a landscape gardener by trade just went the art route with my work im up for doing it no worries
