Vuly Ultra Review

Previous-generation model: This review covers the superseded Vuly Ultra, not the current Ultra 2. It remains useful for existing owners and second-hand buyers. If you are buying new, view Vuly's current range and compare the Ultra 2 with the Ultra 2 Pro.
The Vuly Ultra was Vuly's mid-range coil-spring trampoline, with 70 springs, a 175 cm net and a 150 kg jumper limit. The negatives are a net that Vuly says should be replaced every year, and a ladder and anchor kit that are sold separately.

Build quality and materials
The Vuly Ultra has 70 springs, each 13.7 cm long.
The frame is galvanised steel without the powder coating found on dearer models such as Springfree, the Vuly Thunder Pro and the Lift 2.
Owner reviews occasionally mention problems with the springs and mat, but most describe it as sturdy and weather resistant.
The warning label on the net states that it should be replaced every year.
Anchor kit sold separately
The Ultra 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 Ultra meets the Australian safety standard AS 4989:2015 and has a 175 cm safety net with curved poles.
When assembled correctly the mat threads through the base of the net, so fingers can't reach the springs from inside the trampoline.
Bounce and performance
The Ultra has Vuly’s “Advanced rebound system”, two layers of springs that boost momentum based on the jumper's weight. Owner reviews praise the bounce.
Ease of assembly
Some owners find the setup straightforward, while others report unclear instructions. Vuly’s assembly videos help.
Value for money
At around $1,000 RRP, we think the Ultra is good value for many families given its build, safety features and the 5-year warranty on the frame, springs and mat. The current Ultra 2 starts at around $900.
Additional features and accessories
Optional accessories include a shade cover, tent wall and basketball hoop. The shade cover keeps sun and leaves out. The entry overlaps, with no zip to break. Neither a ladder nor an anchor kit is included; both are sold separately.
Customer service
Owner reviews of Vuly's customer service are mixed, and some report late deliveries around Christmas.
Warranty
The warranty is 5 years on the frame, springs and mat, and 1 year on the safety net and pads.
Conclusion
The Vuly Ultra suits families who want a coil-spring trampoline that meets the Australian safety standard, and owners rate the bounce highly.

The drawbacks are confusing assembly instructions, the advice to replace the net yearly, and an anchor kit, ladder and shade cover that cost extra.
