What Is the BERG Ultim 500?

The Ultim 500 is BERG’s flagship rectangular trampoline, measuring an impressive 5 metres long by 3 metres wide. This makes it one of the largest trampolines available in Ireland today.

Key Features

  • Rectangular shape: More consistent bounce across the entire mat compared to round trampolines. Great for gymnastics-style routines.

  • Massive jumping area: Ideal for flips, tricks, or simply giving kids more room to play.

  • Premium performance: Available in BERG’s higher-spec ranges (Champion, Elite, Pro Bouncer).

  • Installation options: Choose above ground or flatground for a sleek garden design.

  • Safety net choices: DLX XL net for maximum protection or opt for no net with flatground for a minimalist look (recommended only for advanced users).

Why Rectangular Matters

Round trampolines are the most common in family gardens, but rectangular trampolines like the Ultim 500 have unique advantages:

  • Consistent bounce across the surface – Springs stretch at different rates on round trampolines, but on rectangular ones, the bounce is more uniform.

  • More usable space – The rectangular design means you can use corner-to-corner space without losing bounce quality.

  • Preferred by athletes – Gymnasts and freerunners often train on rectangular trampolines for better performance.

BERG Ultim 500: Installation Options

The Ultim 500 comes in two main installation types:

1. Above Ground

  • Sits on legs like a traditional trampoline.

  • Easier to install — no digging required.

  • Compatible with DLX XL safety net.

  • Provides excellent clearance beneath the mat for maximum spring action.

2. Flatground

  • Fully installed into the ground, so the jumping surface sits flush with the grass.

  • Sleek, modern look that blends into the garden.

  • Easier entry and exit — no need for ladders.

  • Available with or without the DLX XL safety net.

  • Requires excavation and proper drainage.

Safety Net Options

The Ultim 500 can be fitted with BERG’s premium safety nets:

  • Deluxe XL (DLX XL) – The tallest and strongest BERG net, with curved poles and a reinforced top ring to keep the mesh taut. Ideal for teens and advanced jumpers.

  • No Net (Flatground) – For advanced users who prefer an unobstructed look. This option is not recommended for young children.

Accessories: The BERG Aerowall

One of the standout accessories for the Ultim 500 is the BERG Aerowall.

What Is It?

The Aerowall is a large, vertical inflatable wall that attaches securely to the trampoline. It’s designed for freestyle tricks and wall-running, turning your trampoline into an action sports arena.

Benefits

  • Freestyle play: Jumpers can push off the wall for flips, twists, and rebounds.

  • Training tool: Popular with freerunners and advanced trampolinists.

  • Removable: Can be taken down when not in use.

This accessory takes the Ultim 500 to another level, especially for teenagers who want to experiment with creative tricks.

Why Irish Families Love the Ultim 500

From our experience at Trampolines Ireland, families consistently highlight these advantages of the Ultim 500:

  1. Space to Play – At 5m x 3m, it’s one of the biggest trampolines available, giving kids the freedom to bounce without crowding.

  2. Safer Bounce – The rectangular design keeps bounce consistent across the surface, reducing the risk of drift.

  3. Performance Options – Whether you want family fun (Champion), long-lasting durability (Elite), or pro-level height (Pro Bouncer), there’s an Ultim 500 for you.

  4. Garden Integration – With flatground installation, it blends beautifully into Irish gardens.

  5. Future-Proof – Children won’t outgrow this trampoline. It’s suitable for teenagers and adults too.

Installation Considerations

The Ultim 500 is a large trampoline, so planning installation is key:

  • Space required: At least 6m x 4m flat area, with 1–1.5m clearance around.

  • Flatground: Requires professional excavation and drainage to prevent water pooling.

  • Above ground: Easier to install, though it will be visually prominent.

  • Anchoring: Essential in exposed areas to prevent movement during strong winds.

At Trampolines Ireland, we can provide professional installation to ensure your Ultim 500 is safe, level, and secure.

Safety First

While the Ultim 500 is designed for fun and performance, safety is always paramount:

  • Safety nets: DLX XL nets are recommended for families with children.

  • Single-user guidance: The safest way to use a trampoline is one jumper at a time.

  • Supervision: Especially important for younger children.

  • Maintenance: Regularly check springs, net tension, and pads.
