The three web links below will show you the best kind of trampoline to buy to put in the ground and exactly in detail how to install it in ground:

You can dig a hole and put your entire trampoline in the hole as your other answers suggest but this has disadvantages. The trampoline will rest on the bottom of the hole. Water tends to run into the hole after a storm and often, the hole becomes quite muddy. Then one leg of the trampoline can sink further into the mud than the other legs and the trampoline will not remain level. Also, you have to dig a very large hole to bury your entire trampoline legs and all. Most of the better in-ground trampolines do NOT use legs and are SUSPENDED over the hole rather than sitting inside the hole on legs. This method allows you to more easily dig a much smaller hole and keeps your trampoline perfectly level and evenly supported.

It is also best to have a trampoline mat that is woven rather than a one piece black fabric bed like most home trampolines have. When you bounce, you depress the bed which compresses the volume of air beneath the bed. When the trampoline is above ground this volume of air escapes out around the open steel frame. However when your trampoline is in-ground the air can no longer escape around the frame. It is trapped by the pit and it now can only flow up through the bed and springs. If you have wide safety pads that cover the springs as many trampolines do, then the air that is compressed on each bounce can only escape directly up through the bed. It takes this volume of air longer to escape through a solid black bed like most home trampolines have than through the more expensive woven beds which have a more open weave with holes through which the air can escape. With a regular mat, your trampoline may not bounce quite as well when you put it in the ground but with the more expensive woven bed or mat there will be no drag on your bounce.
