BERG FlatGround vs InGround Trampolines: What’s the Difference?
Choosing between a BERG FlatGround trampoline and a BERG InGround trampoline is one of the most common decisions customers make when planning a new trampoline installation.
Both installation styles provide a lower-profile alternative to traditional above ground trampolines, but there are important differences between the two options depending on your garden layout, preferred appearance and installation requirements.
What Is a BERG FlatGround Trampoline?
BERG FlatGround trampolines are designed to sit level with the lawn surface, creating a clean and modern appearance within the garden.
FlatGround trampolines are popular for:
- Modern garden layouts
- Lower visual impact
- Easier access
- Premium outdoor installations
Because the trampoline sits at ground level, FlatGround models can integrate naturally into landscaped outdoor spaces.

Main Differences Between FlatGround and InGround Trampolines
| Feature | FlatGround | InGround |
|---|---|---|
| Garden Appearance | Lower-profile modern look | More visible trampoline structure |
| Access Height | Sits at ground level | Slightly raised frame |
| Installation | Requires deeper excavation | Shallower excavation |
| Popular Use | Modern landscaped gardens | Family gardens |
| Visual Impact | No Visual Impact | Minimal |
Differences in Frame Design and Product Range
One of the biggest differences between BERG FlatGround and BERG InGround trampolines is the product range, frame design and installation system used on each model.
BERG InGround trampolines are available across the Favorit, Champion and Elite quality levels, offering a wider range of price points and features depending on the trampoline model selected.
BERG FlatGround trampolines are available in the higher-specification Champion and Elite ranges and are designed as a more premium installation option.
Another major difference is the frame construction. BERG InGround trampolines use a traditional galvanised round frame with legs that are secured into the ground.
BERG FlatGround trampolines use a heavier box-frame design with an integrated support shelf system. The additional frame weight and support structure allow FlatGround trampolines to remain stable without requiring the same ground pinning system used on InGround models.
These structural differences also contribute to the different appearance, installation method and price positioning between the two trampoline types.
Which Installation Style Is Best?
The best installation style depends on the type of garden you have and the overall appearance you want to achieve.
