Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop Review

If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to get your kids active, then the Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop could be your answer. 

However, this add-on trampoline accessory will not be for everyone, and at a price of $199, you need to make sure it’s a worthwhile purchase for you.  

At Springfree Trampoline, we are the inventors and manufacturers of the Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop (FlexrHoop), and as such, know everything there is to know about the product and can accurately translate that knowledge to you.  

But before we go any further, we want to address the elephant in the room. Yes, we are reviewing our own product. And you might be thinking, “How could you give an unbiased and honest review of your own product?” 

It’s because we truly execute our promise to put you first. We do this in content by giving you all the information you need to make a purchasing decision for yourself, even if that information goes against our product. 

So, this will not be a typical “Please buy our product!” type of review. We’re going to go over both the pros and the cons, who would and wouldn’t be a fit for the Springfree Basketball Hoop and all the details you need to know before deciding whether it’s the right fit for your trampoline or not.  

Springfree Basketball Hoop Features 

Let’s begin by going over some of the main features of the Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop: 

• The Hoop is built from the same material as our springless trampolines, which means there are no hard edges—eliminating the chance of a product-related injury. 

• The Hoop’s high-quality materials allow for it to withstand outdoor weather conditions, like rain or snow. 

• The accessory attaches to the enclosure netting (more on how to do this in the next section).  

• It includes the ball and pump upon purchase. 

• The Hoop includes a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty and the ball includes a 3-month manufacturer’s warranty. 

Springfree Trampolines have proven to be the safest trampolines on the market, with features like the FlexiNet enclosure and the SoftEdge feature that contribute to the elimination of 90% of product-related injuries. 

These features apply to the Trampoline Hoop because there could be concern about an increased injury risk when adding basketball hoop to your trampoline equation. 

Because Springfree Trampolines include features, like the enclosure net and soft edges, playing basketball on the trampoline will not increase you or your kids’ chance of incurring any kind of product-related injury.  

 

Springfree Basketball Hoop Installation 

There is a multi-step process you need to follow to attach the Hoop to the enclosure netting. 

We won’t go through every step in this article, but you must follow the steps accordingly to properly install the Hoop on your trampoline. 

If you want to see how you attach the Hoop to the trampoline, the BILT App will be your best resource. Download the free BILT App, search up “FlexrHoop Accessory” and it will include detailed 3D instructions on how to install the Hoop. 

You can also look through the step-by-step instructions in our FlexrHoop User Manual or watch our “Installing FlexrHoop” video to see all 12 installation steps. 

If you do end up purchasing the Hoop, you will receive a physical copy with your package of the assembly, installation and use instructions that you can use to help attach the accessory.  

The Hoop shouldn’t require much maintenance once it is installed since it is made from commercially graded material designed to last for many years without needing replacement parts or repairs.  

Periodic cleaning and checking to make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened should be enough to keep the Hoop up and functioning.  

5 Springfree Basketball Hoop Pros  

Now, let’s go through some of the main pros to buying the Springfree Hoop: 

Pro #1: The Hoop can serve as another avenue for the kids to get the most out of their trampoline. 

Pro #2: Can be used by both kids and adults. 

Pro #3: The Hoop’s durable and resilient material makes it safe to use for everybody.

4 Springfree Basketball Hoop Cons 

Let’s flip it over and go through some of the cons of the Springfree Basketball Hoop: 

Con #1: The Hoop costs $199, which could be a bit pricey for some. 

Con #2: The Hoop can be somewhat difficult to attach the enclosure net (However, it shouldn’t take too much time to complete—especially if you’re using the BILT App).  

Con #3: You may have to adjust the Hoop periodically to keep it in place and to make sure it doesn’t shift while in use.  

Con #4: You MUST have a Springfree Trampoline to purchase this accessory—it is not built for other-branded trampolines. 

 

Should You Buy the Springfree Basketball Hoop? 

Now that you’ve seen the pros and cons of the Hoop, would it be worth it for you to purchase?  

Here’s who should consider buying the Springfree Basketball Hoop: 

• BUY if you’re looking for a way to “level up” your trampoline. 

• BUY if your child enjoys basketball and trampolining.   

• BUY if you want a new activity for your kids to get outside and exercise. 

Here’s who may not want to purchase the Springfree Hoop: 

• DON’T BUY if $199 is too steep of a price for you.  

• DON’T BUY if you have doubts that your kids would use it. 

• DON’T BUY if you have another brand of trampoline. 

We should mention that if you don’t already have a Springfree Trampoline and are looking to upgrade to a bigger model, you can look at purchasing one of our three Trampoline Bundles to get the FlexrHoop, as well as the FlexrStep (trampoline ladder) and professional installation included.  

You can choose the Classic Trampoline Ultimate Bundle or one of our three limited edition bundles: the All-Black Ultimate Trampoline Bundle the Steely Wind Ultimate Trampoline Bundle or the Minty Blue Trampoline Ultimate Bundle. All are priced at $3,299 and can save you $217 if the trampoline and accessories were bought individually.  

The Verdict 

The Springfree Trampoline Basketball Hoop could be a worthwhile addition for basketball lovers that want to upgrade their trampoline to be just a place to jump. 

But be aware: It’s not an inexpensive purchase and could take some effort to attach and adjust the hoop properly.  

Verdict: If you’re looking for a trampoline basketball hoop, the FlexrHoop from Springfree is a high-quality and safe option to purchase as an add-on accessory for the kids. 

The FlexrHoop is just one of the many accessories you can buy for a trampoline. Check out our “Accessories” page to see some of the other ways you can enhance your trampoline.
