Artificial grass remains <strong>green and clean<\/strong> there, and the trampoline does not need to be moved for mowing. Key factors include <strong>secure anchoring of the trampoline<\/strong>, a <strong>water-permeable base<\/strong> and \u2013 depending on the height \u2013 additional <strong>fall protection<\/strong> around the equipment.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trampolines are a favorite spot for children in many gardens \u2013 and a challenge for the lawn.

Artificial grass is an excellent surface for trampolines. It is important that the trampoline is securely anchored and that the artificial grass is laid on a stable, water-permeable subbase.  <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do you secure a trampoline on artificial grass?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Using suitable ground anchors that reach through the artificial grass into the subbase. Please follow the instructions provided by the trampoline manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do you need fall protection under artificial grass?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This is not mandatory for private gardens, but it can be useful in play areas. Public playgrounds are subject to specific standards regarding fall height and fall protection. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why does grass not grow under the trampoline?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The jump mat deprives the grass of light and rain. Additionally, the area around the trampoline experiences heavy foot traffic. Artificial grass is a low-maintenance alternative here.  <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial grass under the trampoline: why it is practical, how to anchor the trampoline safely, when fall protection is necessary, and which artificial turf is suitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2988,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-garden-pets"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3128"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3312,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3128\/revisions\/3312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topgreen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
