| New house has septic and where we want/need to put the kid's trampoline is where the drain field is. I know better than to drive over it, put a pool on top of it, etc... but is a 12' trampoline going to cause me problems? |

Four kids, 9-13 years old I'm going to go with fine. Unless or until any one of the kids gets to be over 500 lbs. In which case trampoline failure may be more of an issue than a crushed septic line.

I know better than to drive over it, put a pool on top of it, etc... but is a 12' trampoline going to cause me problems? Is the drain field working? Is it swampy? Can you located the tiles because the grass is greener directly above the tiles? If you answered yes to either of these questions, look into your system. I can't think of any reason that a trampoline would be a problem. It isn't permanently attached? No concrete is being poured? |

System was inspected and the filter cleaned 2-3 weeks ago, I was there for it. Drain field is in great shape Not swampy No Regular trampoline, no concrete |
