Our ghetto style trampoline





This is how we do things ghetto style! We laid down the boards and cut some metal strips and screwed them over the trampoline. We also had to put some cinder block stepping stones and some flat rocks under some of the corners. We also hammered down some six foot poles to help it from sliding when they jumped. It is still a little crooked! Oh well. Go ahead and post these on how not to set up a trampoline safely!

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. As long as the whole thing doesn't slide off some cliff who cares what it looks like? The girls are having fun and they are out of your hair for a while so it's all good.

It actually looks like you guys went above and beyond the call of duty. "Ghetto" would have been just to throw that thing on the ground without leveling it at all.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like you guys put it in an area with a lot of trees. Where is this place and why do we not have more pictures of the yard; it looks awesome??

I need a picture of peanut jazzercising on the trampoline. Instead of jammies he needs sweatbands and leg warmers!

The girls look well entertained, AMEN!

It is Brian's yard. He has an acre. There is no grass right now, but a lot of paths and ground coverage. The tramp is surrounded by trees so it stays nice and shaded. We are going to put grass above the tramp and build a swing set. It is all a work in process that I will be able to post before and after pics. Peanut likes to stand at the tramp and whine the whole time that anyone is on it. I will take a picture of her fat booty!
