Detailed comparison

Build quality and materials

Vuly Flare

• Frame: Galvanised steel frame, though it lacks a powder-coated finish for extra durability.
• Materials: Thinner padding than the Ultra, and a 3-year warranty on the frame, springs and mat against the Ultra's 5.
• Weight capacity: 120 kg, indicating it’s primarily designed for children.

Vuly Ultra

• Frame: Galvanised steel but lacks a powder-coated finish.
• Materials: Thicker foam and PVC covering, with a dual-layered spring system.

Performance and bounce

Vuly Flare

• Spring system: Single-layered spring system with 70 springs, each 13.7 cm long.
• Bounce quality: Provides a decent bounce, suitable for small children.
• User feedback: Generally satisfactory, though some users note durability issues.

Safety features

Vuly Flare

• Safety net: 185 cm high, with curved safety net poles.
• Protection: Mat and safety netting lock together to protect users from springs.
• Standards: Meets Australian Safety Standard AS 4989:2015.

Vuly Ultra

• Safety net: 175 cm high, also with curved safety net poles.
• Protection: Mat threads through the base of the net, preventing fingers from accessing the springs.
• Standards: Meets Australian Safety Standard AS 4989:2015.

Anchor kit sold separately

Neither the Ultra nor the Flare comes with an anchor kit. Neither is particularly heavy, so the Vuly Trampoline Anchor Kit is worth adding to secure the trampoline in high winds.

Accessories

Both the Vuly Flare and Ultra can take a basketball hoop.

Both models used to offer a shade cover and a tent wall, but these have been discontinued for the Flare, so the Ultra is the only one of the two that takes them.

Ease of assembly

Vuly Flare

• Assembly process: Fairly straightforward, though owners say some instructions aren't clear.

Vuly Ultra
