The Vuly Flare is Vuly's entry-level trampoline, with a galvanised steel frame. It keeps the safety design of Vuly's dearer models but has thinner padding, a lower weight limit and a shorter warranty.

Vuly’s own guide outlines the differences between each model: Choosing a Vuly Trampoline – Which Model Suits You?

Build quality and materials

The Vuly Flare has a galvanised steel frame but no powder-coated finish, which would add weather resistance.

The padding is thinner than on the Vuly Ultra, and Vuly backs the Flare's frame, springs and mat for 3 years against 5 on the Ultra.

Vuly lists a 100 kg maximum single-user weight for both Flare sizes, below the 120 to 150 kg per-jumper ratings on Vuly's other current models.

Anchor kit sold separately

The Flare doesn't come with an anchor kit, so it isn't secured to the ground without the separate Vuly Trampoline Anchor Kit.

Safety features and standards

The Vuly Flare meets the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. It has curved safety net poles, springs outside the jumping area and a superfine mesh net. The mat and the safety net lock together, so jumpers can't reach the springs from inside.

Bounce and performance

The Flare uses conventional coil springs to provide its bounce. Vuly does not publish a spring count or spring length for this model.

Owners generally describe the bounce as satisfactory. The 100 kg single-user limit and two-size range put it below Vuly's larger current models and suit it to younger children.

Ease of assembly

Assembly is fairly straightforward, although owners say the instructions could be clearer. Vuly’s assembly videos are a good place to start.

Value for money

Priced from around $500, the Vuly Flare is Vuly's entry-level option. It suits families who aren't sure how much a trampoline will be used and don't want to spend much.

Compared with the Vuly Ultra, it has a shorter warranty, a lower weight limit and thinner padding, but it keeps the same curved poles, external springs and self-closing entry.

Additional features and accessories

Optional accessories include a shade cover, tent wall and basketball hoop. Neither a ladder nor an anchor kit is included, which adds to the cost of a complete setup.

Customer service

Owner reviews of Vuly's customer service are mixed, and some report late deliveries, especially around Christmas.

Warranty

The Vuly Flare comes with a 3-year warranty on the frame and springs/mat, and a 1-year warranty on the safety net and pads. These terms are typical for trampolines in this price range.

The Flare keeps the safety design of Vuly's dearer models at a lower price. Its padding is thinner and its warranty shorter than the Ultra's, and a ladder and anchor kit add to the cost.
