Our Review of the Pure Fun 14-Foot Trampoline
Having a trampoline is a great way for kids to have fun. I remembered having one when I was little, and the feeling of bouncing again and again was simply magical.
Since trampoline meant bouncing, it is the parents’ role to make sure that the kids are safe. One way of doing this is to get a trampoline with a sturdy base.
One such trampoline is the Pure Fun 14-Foot Trampoline. This product has strong, rust-resistant galvanized iron steel tubing using patented T-Section construction, which is safer and longer-lasting than conventional welded trampolines. The snug, secure fit of T-Section assembly insures extra stability and prevents shifting over time, which increases the life and safety of the trampoline while giving parents peace of mind.
The W-shaped legs that this trampoline employs have balanced contact points which add stability and prevent wobbling and tipping.
A lot of the people who own a Pure Fun Trampoline love the fact that it’s a breeze to assemble. It doesn’t require extra tools (it comes with a patented assembly tool, already) and there’s no drilling or any of that stuff involved. Add the fact that it has a 25-pound capacity and that it’s certified to pass all ASTM safety requirements and you can say that you have an almost perfect trampoline.
You read that right: almost perfect. Why? Because I believe that there’s no such thing as a perfect product.
We found out that while this trampoline has one of the best price in the market, its life expectancy is only around three years if you set it up on the backyard. It doesn’t sit well with the sun, although the company claims that the rust-resistant frame will stand up to harsh weather circumstances.
There are not a lot of negative comments on the product per se, but more on the service of the company. For instance, a number of people reported that the package sent to them do not have all the pieces needed to set up the trampoline, although the company was able to take care of it.
Overall, this is a good trampoline and we recommend it. It has a very good price, the product was well made and it’s safe enough for kids to use it.
Aside from the fact that the zippers come off after a few months for some owners, this is a good trampoline enclosure. If you go over to Amazon, you’d noticed that there are a few one-star rating but if you open and read them, you’d discover that it was majorly because these people thought they were getting a trampoline and an enclosure.
Just a suggestion: when you choose this trampoline enclosure, make sure that you pull the netting over and under the trampoline, about six inches under. Also make sure to place the bottom pole above the two brackets and tighten the bottom/lower bracket against the C shaped leg while the other bracket is against the extension pole coming from the T bar. That way the trampoline is more solid when the kids are using it.
Would I recommend this product? Definitely. Not only that, but I would use it myself. It’s high-quality, and the price is not that bad. Besides, nothing compares to having peace of mind while watching my child play – not even a hundred dollars for a trampoline enclosure.
Below are some comments about the Pure Fun 14-Foot Trampoline product from customers:
Very easy to set up. The legs are a bit loose when the kids are using it. I can see the poles separating from one another where they are attached. Make sure you install all the T bars/poles with even length. Once you hit too hard, there is no turning back. Use a mallet on the poles and not a hammer. If you must, use a short 2×4 in between the pole and the hammer, which i did.
I also purchased an enclosure which helped with the loose legs and added safety. I would recommend this. Good quality.
Wear cheap vinyl gloves when installing. Otherwise your hands would turn grey/black from the steel poles.

This is excellent trampoline. This was easy to assemble. With two people, it took us about an hour and half.
It is sturdy. Kids love it a lot. They are enjoying the trampoline. 14-foot size is perfect.
Also, the price was less than other stores.
