After seeing countless questions about Vuly trampolines from our community and elsewhere, we went directly to Vuly for answers.

Here's what they told us about the questions you ask most often.

How long do Vuly trampoline parts actually last?

This is one of the most common questions we see, so we asked Vuly directly about the expected lifespan of their key components under normal use.

According to Vuly, component lifespans can vary depending on usage and location, but generally:

Safety nets should last 2-3 years
Safety padding can last 1-5 years (heavily dependent on sun exposure)
Leaf springs should last 1-5+ years "as long as everything is installed correctly" (they noted this is very dependent on the user's weight and frequency of use)

What about those Thunder leaf spring concerns?

We specifically asked about reports that Thunder model leaf springs break within 1-5 years due to metal fatigue, potentially adding significant costs over time. Some customers had calculated replacing all leaf springs over 10 years could cost up to $1,200 in parts and shipping.

Vuly's response: "This is generally not the case, often when a customer does have leaf spring breakages, they will only need to purchase 1 set of springs and not the whole set."

When we asked why leaf springs have only a 12-month warranty compared to the 5-year warranty on traditional springs (and compared to Springfree's 10-year warranty), Vuly stated:

"Springfree warranty is not as lenient as ours. It only covers manufacturing defects, not wear and tear nor UV damage on the fibreglass springs so a lot of the time they would not cover the cost of springs as manufacturing defects are normally found when assembling the trampoline."

They also confirmed that "leaf spring durability has been addressed in newer models" and noted they "cover a lot of springs outside of the warranty period as a GWG [gesture of goodwill]."

Sun shade durability

For those wondering about sun shade replacements, Vuly stated their covers have a 2-year warranty period, so "it should last you at least 2 years."

They also pointed out that "after a certain time frame, their kids will be too tall to bounce on the trampoline and they will no longer need a shade cover," suggesting perhaps one replacement might be needed during a trampoline's useful life with a family.

What has your experience been with Vuly trampoline durability?

Have you owned a Vuly trampoline for several years? We'd love to hear about your real-world experience with component durability and any replacements you've needed.
