Ultim Pro Bouncer 5×5 vs 500: Space, Bounce & Price Compared

BERG’s Ultim Pro Bouncer comes in two headline sizes at the top end of performance: the 5×5 (500×500 cm, square) and the 500 (500×300 cm, rectangular). Both use the Pro line’s AirFlow Pro mat and TwinSpring Pro springs for maximum airtime; the differences come down to footprint, spring count/geometry, install, and budget. Below is a clear, Ireland-focused comparison with specs pulled from BERG’s pages and Irish retailer listings.

TL;DR — which one should you buy?

Pick the 5×5 if you want the largest jump platform BERG makes for homes, with edge-to-edge consistency that trickers love. It needs a bigger garden and costs more, but delivers the ultimate “pro” feel.
Pick the 500 if you want elite performance in a narrower space (500×300 cm) and a lower price. It’s still a true Pro Bouncer with the same airflow and spring tech.

What both models share (why the Pro Bouncer jumps higher)

AirFlow Pro mat → up to 150% more air throughput vs a standard mat → less air resistance, higher and more controlled jumps.
TwinSpring Pro (extra-long, more coils) in a V-layout → bigger sweet spot and more airtime for tricks.
Heavy-duty frame & pads designed for intensive use.
Warranty: Pro Bouncer range tested to ≥600 kg; up to 13-year warranty after registration (frame) per BERG’s Pro pages. Always check the warranty card for your region.

Space & installation (Ireland)

Raw footprint:
- 5×5 = 25 m² frame area.
- 500 = 15 m² frame area.
Safety clearance: BERG recommends ~1.5–2 m free space around the trampoline. That implies a garden footprint of roughly 9×9 m (81 m²) for the 5×5 and 9×7 m (63 m²) for the 500 when allowing 2 m on each side. (These are planning guide figures, not legal requirements.)

Dig notes (FlatGround)

500 (500×300): example pit guidance shows a ledge for the frame, with internal pit around 450×250 cm and ~100 cm max depth; frame shelf area ~14 cm deep.
5×5 (500×500): example pit guidance shows 500×500 cm hole; ~14 cm at the shelf and ~110–125 cm max depth, bowl-shaped to the middle.

Tip: add a soakaway or drain as needed—FlatGrounds jump best when the pit isn’t waterlogged.

Bounce & feel: does the 5×5 jump “higher”?

Both use AirFlow Pro + TwinSpring Pro—so peak height potential is similar. The square 5×5 spreads the springs evenly on four sides and carries a larger spring count (≈168), giving ultra-consistent take-off anywhere on the mat—great for freestyle lines and wall tricks (with AeroWall 2×2). The 500 rectangle (≈128 springs) keeps a long run-up that gymnasts also like, in a smaller space.

Nets & accessories

Safety Net Deluxe XL is ~22% taller than Deluxe (≈220 cm vs 180 cm) and suits high jumpers. Available for both sizes.
AeroWall 2×2 (inflatable wall) attaches to FlatGround Ultim Champion / Elite / Pro Bouncer—brilliant for tricks.

Our recommendation (Trampolines Ireland)

Smaller gardens / lower budget → choose the 500. You’ll get the full Pro Bouncer experience in a footprint many Irish gardens can accommodate, and save ~€1,000+ vs the 5×5.
Dedicated freestyle space / “buy once” mentality → choose the 5×5. If your garden can host 9×9 m with clearance, the 5×5 is unmatched for space + consistency, and it pairs brilliantly with AeroWall.
