Great video! Thanks for that! I wanted to buy a BERG or NORTH trampoline at first. But after watching the official springfree videos and yours, I now will probably buy one of the springfree trampolines. Thanks for your professional and detailed video! Helped me a lot!
Normally we don’t, but this year we actually did! We just took the net down and left it and it’s been fine. You won’t regret a Springfree, we have been very impressed by the quality! Thanks for the comment
Thank you, Clara. Super video. Answered all of my queries regarding the purchase of a Springfree trampoline. My biggest concern was the (apparent) myth that they're not as bouncy as other trampolines, so that's reassuring. Both of our girls go to trampolining, so I am keen for them to have one with an effective bounce.
Excellent video! Really helpful and insightful. We were very fortunate to have been given one by a friend who no longer wanted theirs. I can attest that disassembling this thing is a horrible job, but assembling it has been even more foul. Probably could have done with the instruction manual, with hindsight 😂
Thanks James, appreciate the comment! We have a move coming up so going to be doing the break down and assembling again… I don’t think my husband has realised this yet! 😆🫣
Pretending safety was not a concern (i know it is), does the assembly allow for no net if preferred? Or is net required for assembly to take place. I ask because our set up/space will not be traditional and would require no net. We will have a different safety measure in place.
This was great timing as we are getting a trampoline for our kids. We initially tried a Jump King brand, but one of the poles was not formed correctly. After trying multiple ways to contact them for a replacement with zero response, we just returned it and are now looking for something better than what was available at big box stores. It looks like this about the only decent trampoline company available for regular consumers, and they are having quite a good sale right now in the States. My only concern was longevity, and being in this good of condition after 7 years is impressive.
We have recently bought this exact model. We love it. One thing I noted was we don't have any issues with the zip. It has been redesigned and is very easy to zip up. Zipping the vertical one up first helps as it puts tension on the net making the horizontal one easier to pull. Thank you for the great review, it's nice to know it will still hold its own in the years to come
We've had a S113 11ft sq model for 9 years now. We also had a border collie that bit quite a few holes in the net that grew a lot, have experienced some minor rust but overall it still works great. I did just buy a new net, pad and rod sleeves to update it (all for about $600) so it'll be like new. Also critical if you live up north with harsh winters that you collapse the net and cover it as the net will sort of dry-rot. Great products that are FAR superior to traditional spring trampolines.
Fascinating to hear your experience, we collapsed our net this winter, haven’t looked yet to see if it’s survived but given the winter we’ve had in the UK the rot of we have it definitely won’t be dry! 😆🫣
Does anyone replace their net and have any pointers? No one in my family wants to attempt this but I desperately want the family fall season fun back that we had in the past.
I’m sure there must be videos out there for this specific thing, but the biggest challenge you will face is getting the rids out, I’ve li keep video in the description that shows how to do this, it’s not the easiest thing! Good luck!
One small bit of advice: My husband pulls, doesn't push our trampoline. He turns his back to it, reaches back with his hands (just under the mat) and drags the trampoline behind him whereever he wants it. (He can stand straight that way, so might be easier on the back?)
Hi, thanks for this very detailed review! One question on my side: Does the trampoline withstand strong winds and gusts without the anchors? Winds can be quite strong in the UK, especially on the coast, during stormy weather (we live in Germany but still get quite some strong gusts of wind so my guess is that it won’t be as bad. The anchors would be a solution but I would like to have the possibility to move the trampoline around.)
Yes it does withstand the wind BUT where we are on the south coast of the UK the wind is perfectly able to lift the trampoline up and blow it across the garden, so two options either anchors (which we did for the first few years) or no anchors, but take the net down in the winter and have it out of service for a few months. We found the kids didn’t use it much in the winter anyway and having it out of action for a few months only meant it was more of a novelty in the spring so that’s the way we go now. The anchors are bloody hard to get out of the ground, as they should be I guess!!
Interesting question, we don’t have your extremes of cold but it really gets a battering here on England’s south coast (just in the tail end of a storm today!) so I would say yes!
Including the time arguing and having to stop for breaks to calm down? I would say 3 hours… but then we hadn’t seen that video about how to remove the rods! We also have to disassemble in the next couple of months, good luck?
I just ordered mine it's a large oval a bit pricey but I think I will like it and we're paying someone to put it up because where I live it gets really hot in the summer
I think it’s worth have the assembly done for you if you can, better than having the kids hanging over you constantly asking how much longer it will be! 😆
This company should be prosecuted for making it so difficult assembling/disassembling it. It's designed in such a way to discourage owners from taking it apart every winter in order to shorten its lifespan.
Do you own a Springfree? Or are you thinking about buying one? Let me know in the comments.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together, very helpful! Hello from New Zealand
Hi Shaun! Thanks for the comment 👋
Fantastic review! I’m so thankful your video was out there to give such an in depth understanding of the spring free trampoline.
I’m so pleased, I do try to make the kind of videos that I would want to see and it’s great when I hear they have hit the spot for someone!
Great video! Thanks for that! I wanted to buy a BERG or NORTH trampoline at first. But after watching the official springfree videos and yours, I now will probably buy one of the springfree trampolines. Thanks for your professional and detailed video! Helped me a lot!
One question though: There is NOTHING you do in winter with the trampoline? No partial disassembling? No protection cover? Nothing?
Normally we don’t, but this year we actually did! We just took the net down and left it and it’s been fine. You won’t regret a Springfree, we have been very impressed by the quality! Thanks for the comment
Bro the bounce on north and berg trampolines are miles better don’t get a spring free
I bought a springfree in the meantime and its awesome :-)

It’s weird that this myth still persists, I think they are great trampolines
Great video as always. I love how detailed you are and the maintenance tips.
Thanks Michael, I appreciate the comment

Absolutely no judgement from me! 😉 Yes it is a separate part so possible to put it up without the net
@CandidClara thank you for your speedy response

Good long term review, thanks.
Unfortunately not one of those jumping videos looked like the trampoline gave much bounce, au contraire.
You can visit the show site and test for yourself but it’s never been a complaint in our house
Thank you for taking the time to share.
Appreciate the comment!

If you can get a big one yeah, or a square or rectangle one, but i cant do dub kabooms or codys on a spring free if its not wide
But that’s nothing to do with the make, only the size?! 🤔
Great video, we live in Finland, do you think we can leave it outside during winter? Does anyone have any experience with that?
Interesting question, we don’t have your extremes of cold but it really gets a battering here on England’s south coast (just in the tail end of a storm today!) so I would say yes!
@@CandidClara Thanks!
My medium oval arrives tomorrow!
Fantastic! Hope you have lots if fun with it
great review
Thanks for the comment 👍
Can I ask how long it took you to disassemble it? I am getting one from a friend and just just wondering how long it will take us to disassemble it!
Including the time arguing and having to stop for breaks to calm down? I would say 3 hours… but then we hadn’t seen that video about how to remove the rods! We also have to disassemble in the next couple of months, good luck?
Very helpful video. I’m headed to buy a used one tmrw
Fantastic, hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for that great review
Thank you for the comment Martin, lovely to know it helped!
This is an excellent video. Thanks
Really happy to help, thanks for taking the time to comment
Great review!
Thanks
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment!
Would you recommend 11x11 or 13x13?
I think with those two it literally comes down to which you prefer the look of and/or which fits in your garden layout better
Leaf blower would be a better way to clean it up. And even more fun.
Bit chaotic using a leaf blower in the house though! 😆😉
This company should be prosecuted for making it so difficult assembling/disassembling it. It's designed in such a way to discourage owners from taking it apart every winter in order to shorten its lifespan.
I think that’s slightly extreme! 😆 Mine’s lasted for years and they make spare parts. Just cover it up in the winter if you don’t want to use it.
definitely doesn't look as bouncy as a spring trampoline, but that's not the worst thing.
ok
