Read the key takeaways from Imogen's review below:

Quick Verdict

• Model: Ultra 2 Pro XL (largest size available)
• Test Period: 3 months of daily use
• Still Worth It? Yes - kids use it every single afternoon
• Build Quality: Still looks brand new after heavy use
• Would Buy Again? Absolutely

Why We Chose the XL

• Multiple kids jumping together without space issues
• Adults can join in (tested with 4 adults simultaneously)
• Lots of friends' kids visiting regularly
• Fits well in larger backyards
• Note: Consider smaller sizes for limited space

Assembly

Time & Effort

• Duration: 6 hours with 2-3 people
• Packages: 9 heavy boxes (need 2 people to move)
• Difficulty: Moderate if you follow instructions

Mistake to Avoid

• Base poles have drainage holes - MUST face downward
• We installed upside down = 2 extra hours to fix
• Poles lock so tightly, three adults could barely separate them
• Concern about ever disassembling for house moves

Daily Use - How Has it Held Up?

Durability

• Frame: Zero damage or wear despite kids hanging on poles
• Mat: No tears or wear spots
• Padding: Thick enough kids run on edges without compression
• Springs: Fully covered leaf spring system - no pinch points

Safety

• Self-closing door
  • Favoured closure vs traditional zip
  • No more "did you zip it?" reminders
  • Stays secure when kids fall against it
• Leaf spring system
  • No exposed coil springs
  • Fingers/feet can't reach springs even at edges
  • Mat extends well past spring zone
• Build quality
  • Powder-coated frame
  • Extra-thick padding around entire edge
  • Premium mat with reinforced stitching

Accessories

• Ladder
  • Non-negotiable - sits too high without it
  • Young kids can't climb up otherwise
• Shade Cover
  • 100% necessary in Australian climate
  • Black mat becomes unusable in summer
  • Allows year-round use

Nice to Have

• Basketball Hoop
  • Works WITH shade cover (unique to newer Vuly models)
  • Two height settings
  • Minor issue: Velcro net attachment comes loose

The Good

• Kids genuinely use it daily
• Self-closing door removes constant safety worry
• Build quality noticeably superior to cheaper brands
• No maintenance needed after 3 months
• Printed game mat created 100+ unexpected games
• Can handle adult use without concern
• Australian-designed for our climate

The Bad

• Weight (XL Model)
  • Cannot lift to move for mowing
  • Must use whipper snipper underneath
  • Dragging tears up grass
• Assembly challenges
  • Poles extremely difficult to separate if connected wrong
  • Frame gets very hot during assembly in sun
  • Heavy boxes require 2 people
• Basketball hoop
  • Net attachment could be better designed

Who Should Buy This

Perfect For:

• Families with multiple children
• High daily usage expected
• Safety is top priority
• Have space for it
• Australian climate (with shade cover)

Look Elsewhere If:

• Need to move it regularly
• Tight budget
• Small backyard (get smaller model)
• Planning to move house soon
• Want lightweight/portable option
