As parents, it’s not uncommon to experience a sense of nostalgia and desire to relive our own childhood experiences through our children. My wife and I, who both wished for a trampoline in our youth, decided to fulfill this wish after observing our daughter’s enthusiasm during her gymnastics classes. We acquired a trampoline, believing it would bring joy to her, and certainly not because we were excited about it ourselves. With that in mind, I invite you to read my review of the SpringFree Trampoline.
As with all significant purchases, my wife and I conducted thorough research before deciding to buy a trampoline for our daughter. Growing up, we were advised by our families about the potential safety hazards associated with trampolines, which influenced our decision-making process. Consequently, I focused on three key criteria: first, ensuring the trampoline’s safety; second, finding one suitable for our compact backyard; and third, selecting a model that would endure regular use and withstand Colorado’s diverse weather conditions.
During my search, I discovered a brand I was previously unfamiliar with: Springfree Trampoline. Upon further investigation into their product and the company’s background, I was impressed by their commitment to safety, which is the primary focus of their trampolines. I encourage you to explore their company’s story and learn more about their innovative approach to trampoline design.
Our current home has a relatively small backyard, but the design of Springfree trampolines accommodates this limitation effectively. Unlike traditional trampolines that require space for surrounding springs, Springfree trampolines feature a streamlined footprint, allowing them to fit more easily into compact outdoor areas.
We ultimately chose the Medium Oval Trampoline. As depicted in the images above, it offers ample space without being overwhelming. Given its unique design with Springfree’s distinctive rods, you might wonder about the quality of the jumping experience.
The rods used in the Springfree trampoline are notably impressive, constructed from a carbon fiber-like material with a hollowed design. The jumping experience on this trampoline is exceptional; even as a larger individual, I find it provides a robust performance. Notably, the trampoline offers a softer compression upon landing, which is beneficial for someone with a history of knee issues. While I might not be the primary user in our household, my daughter, who weighs over 30 pounds, thoroughly enjoys it and achieves excellent bounce and height.
I’ll begin by noting that the setup process was somewhat challenging. However, the instructions provided were clear and comprehensive, and the inclusion of the BILT app was a valuable resource. Since then, I have utilized the app for several other projects and product instructions.
The setup process proved to be quite challenging. Although the manufacturer suggests that two skilled individuals can complete the assembly, it was still a demanding task at times. The trampoline requires significant tension, and the unique rod system made it particularly difficult to handle and install. The total assembly time was approximately three hours. While I was able to manage most of the setup on my own, having an additional pair of hands was essential for efficiently attaching the rods and providing the necessary leverage.
Yes, it is feasible to assemble the trampoline with two adults, but be prepared for some challenging sections. With persistence and teamwork, the task can be successfully completed.
Overall, the trampoline has proven to be a great investment. Our family and friends have thoroughly enjoyed it, and since its installation in November 2020, it has withstood both the cold and hot weather conditions in Colorado. It still looks like new.
Additionally, I want to emphasize once again that this trampoline is exceptionally safe. Below are several key reasons why it stands out as a highly secure option.
When using the Springfree Trampoline, there are no parts of the trampoline that pose a risk of injury. However, it is important to note that accidents or injuries can still occur.
So far, there have been only a few issues. As previously mentioned, the setup process proved more challenging compared to traditional trampolines. Additionally, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome. During windstorms or after several weeks, the trampoline’s surface tends to accumulate debris. Due to its well-contained design, removing this debris is not as simple as brushing it off by hand. I typically use a hand broom to effectively clean the surface.
The Springfree Trampoline is not a budget-friendly option like a $100 purchase from Craigslist. It is priced higher, which may initially seem steep to some. However, this investment reflects its superior safety features and high-quality construction, offering long-term value.
We are extremely satisfied with the Springfree Trampoline, given its safety features, build quality, and compact footprint. On any day with favorable weather, my daughter eagerly enjoys jumping on it.
Overall, if you are considering purchasing a trampoline, I recommend exploring Springfree Trampolines. They now offer customization options, which I would have likely considered if they had been available a year ago.
You might be wondering how this relates to technology. The Springfree Trampoline offers an optional Tgoma platform that integrates sensors and gamification features. While I have not yet installed this system, I plan to do so in the coming months. I have delayed its addition because my daughter is currently enjoying the trampoline without any technological enhancements. A review of the Tgoma system will be provided at a later date.
