BERG trampolines delivered to Carndonagh and north Inishowen

Met Éireann's table of weather records lists Malin Head for the highest gust recorded in Ireland in six of the twelve months, including 181 km/h on 16 September 1961. It also says gales blow on more than 50 days a year at northern coastal stations such as Malin Head, against fewer than 2 at some inland places. Plan for wind from the first day.

We sell two: Trampoline Anchors, 4 Pack with Straps and Universal Trampoline Anchors (8). One has straps that can be tightened again and the other gives more fixing points. BERG's own caution applies here more than anywhere: even an anchor set may not withstand strong gusts, so anchors are one part of the job and storm preparation is the other.

Follow BERG: take the padding and the safety net off, make sure the trampoline is anchored, and check the anchors when the storm has passed. BERG also suggests placing a trampoline beside a fence or wall that breaks the wind, and says not to jump in strong wind.

On an exposed or coastal site we suggest considering one. A FlatGround sits level with the lawn and an InGround leaves only a low edge, so both catch far less wind than a trampoline on legs. The groundwork is done by an installer, who checks drainage and the ground itself before quoting you.

Yes. We deliver across Inishowen with Donegal Groupage. Pallet lorries are bigger than parcel vans, so tell us when you order if the house is down a narrow road, past a low bridge or at the end of a long unpaved lane.
