Default SpringFree Trampoline

My boys have been wanting a trampoline for over three years now, ever since their cousins bought one and got to bounce around on it during a visit. They were persistent the first summer so we discussed the possibility of buying one. We also talked about safety and responsibilities to ensure a fun experience.

I didnt purchase one right away, I did some research until I found a product that I thought would meet the things I wanted in a trampoline such as safety, quality and reliability. Basically I found the "Honda" of trampolines......I set out to find dealers to buy from but then it got too late in the season and my attention turned to other things like snowboarding.

Anyway, this spring I learned that COSTCO sold the SpringFree trampolines, so before I could get distracted again I decided to purchase one. It came in three boxes, loaded it all up in the Pilot and brought it home. The assembly took about three hours, instructions were simple to follow and all the tools and hardware was included.

The safety net was essential since the only place I can put the trampoline in was beside the house, on the patio which is concrete. There is about two feet of clearance to the sides of the house which is more than enough space for the netting to function as a safety net.

Looks like fun - bet your boys are happy!!

Now, let's get some shots of you jumping on it!! (Don't lie - we know you did - to "test" it out for your boys beforehand, right?)

Luwin1026,

I have to admit I've never been on a trampoline until now......only to test it......it wasnt pretty. The boys said it looked like I was strapped into a board, so I doubt I'll be posting any pics of me anytime soon.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

Thanks!! I've been a part of various forums dependent on what cars I own at the time - and have met wonderful people in the process, some which I consider lifelong friends. I look forward to the same here.

I am loving our Pilot that we got 2 weeks ago. Side steps should arrive on Monday and will go on later that day. I just installed a set of 18" on them tonight . . . will take pictures tomorrow morning when there's light out and post them . . .

Happy jumping!!!

Thanks Samuel2003,

I dont have a very big backyard for the kids to run around in, this trampoline allows them to do that in a small, confined and safe place.

I cant believe how much work it is to bounce up and down on that thing even for just a few minutes.......I must be getting old.

I have been searching since yesterday when I saw your post. I LOVE the design of your trampoline!

It appears they dont sell them in Southern California. It looks like they're only on the East Coast and other countries

I wounder what it would cost in purchase and shipping from the East Coast? Probably prohibitive

I went to their website http://springfreetrampoline.com and tried the dealer locator. I got this message:

Sorry, there are no dealers in your region. Please call 1-866-899-7370 or send us an email at sales@springfreetrampoline.com to order your trampoline today!
