Thanks Nik. That all sounds pretty fancy. Not sure if I could do all that...and to be honest I don't really know what all of that means. He likes to swim but he needs to do something in the house that he will find calming and soothing. I just might have to move to the first floor, lol. Keep the...

I was thinking a metal cylinder about 6 inches long. I would put a tight spring that fit snug into it for about 3 inches and then I would put the leg of the trampoline into the remaining 3 inches of the cylinder. Then I would put the leg cap on the bottom of the leg which is there now. I would...

Ok, so the spring would have to be thicker and more tightly wound.

Maybe the legs can sit on something like this? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Danco-SEATS-and-SPRINGS-FOR-DELEX/1082005

Yeah, I can't put it outside. It needs to be in my home. Is there a hollow cup with a strong spring at the bottom that the legs can sit in? Would that work?

I don't know how I would put them on or where they should be installed. Maybe other people will chime in.

Thanks Dale. My son is like a football player and still growing. Good ideas. The trampoline uses bungee cords but I don't think removing any would be good since it does support his weight. I was thinking maybe some kind of a shock absorber that I could attach to the legs like cars have with tires.

My son has autism. He is 15 and weighs 235 pounds. He is also 6 feet tall. He loves to jump on his trampoline in our living room, yeah I have a trampoline in my living room. We live on the 2nd floor of an apartment. I noticed the ceiling in my downstairs neighbor's home bending a little every...

Lol, I know this is an odd question. I work for a construction company and my boss put me on this stupid project so I was really looking for answers which you guys have provided. This was not a joke, but I can see how you may think it is. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I showed a picture of gravel because people wanted a picture of what we were trying to move. We want to build something that is 90 degrees that can hold the rocks and we want a way to figure out how to move it an easy way. Wheels on the bottom of what the rocks are sitting on is an option. Our...

Ok, thanks for the input everybody. We need to figure this out.

Yeah, that is a way to go, but we were looking to keep costs down. We just wanted to build a simple platform or some sort and find the best way to move the platform while keeping it flat if we could. I thought you physics people would have a good physics trick like a pulley or something that the...

We want to move something like this but a much smaller amount. We want to have something under it and something against it so when we pull the platform on the bottom of it, the rock pile would move to a different location.. Keep in mind the thing we are making would be a 90 degree angle so it...

I'm sorry, I don't have a picture. We have not made the product yet. We are just fleshing out ideas.
