It's finally time. The kids have all grown and our beloved Springfree trampoline has sat idle in our backyard for over a year. Still, it's in excellent condition and ready to move on to its next family.
This is a Springfree O77, Medium Oval (8ft x 11ft) springless trampoline. It comes the zippered safety net and basketball hoop attachment, as well as a number of spare, unused rods that we purchased as back-ups but never needed (I'll even include the wooden steps we made if you can use it).
Some of this trampoline's best features:
+ No Springs: Flexible Mat Rods, instead of springs, eliminate the pinch points that trap toes and feet
+ SoftEdge Mat: SoftEdgeTM Mat is 30 times more shock-absorbent than safety pads, eliminating hard edges at the jumping surface.
+ Hidden Frame: Durable galvanized steel frame positioned underneath the jumping surface, well out of harm’s way.
+ FlexiNet: FlexiNet® Enclosure System cushions jumpers and prevents falls to the ground.
And the specs:
Space Required: 18 ft x 21 ft
Jumping Mat Dimension: 8 ft x 11 ft
Jumping Surface Area: 77 sq ft
Tested Max Weight Capacity: 1500 lb
Single Jumper Weight Capacity: 220 lb
Trampoline Height: 9.0ft
One of the big reasons we purchased this trampoline was Springfree's safety reputation. They have this on their website: "We believe kids should be kids and able to test their limits with safe outdoor play. Our revolutionary springless design has eliminated 90% of product related injuries, setting the standard for trampoline safety."
The trampoline retails for $1,650 new, and you can read more about it here:
The trampoline has been well maintained and there's no issues or problems to be aware of. Frankly, that's due as much to our upkeep as it is to how well the thing is constructed. It's been rock solid through every season with the only thing that's worn off are the paper tags.
I'm leaving it assembled for the moment, but am willing to assist with the disassembly (though you get to transport it). I'm doing this for two reasons - first, so you can see the unit still together and the shape it's in, but also because there's a process to assembling it. It's not hard, and we found that two of us working together made the assembly pretty easy. Still, I figured it'd be good for the new owner to see how it goes together.
