Where to Buy a Trampoline: Specialty Retailer vs Costco vs Big Box Stores

Buying a trampoline is not the hard part. Figuring out where to buy one can be. Between brand websites, Costco bundles, big box stores, and local stockists, each channel offers a different mix of pricing, selection, and support. This guide breaks down the main options so you can match the right channel to what your family needs.

Where Can You Buy a Trampoline?

Trampolines are sold through four main channels, and each one works differently. Brand websites sell directly to consumers. You get the full model lineup, exclusive colours, and any customisation the brand offers. Springfree Trampoline® sells all nine models through its own site, with delivery across Canada and optional professional installation at checkout. Big box stores like Canadian Tire carry trampolines from multiple brands, and Canadian Tire stocks a selection of Springfree models in store and online. In-store range varies by location and season. Staff handle dozens of product categories, so trampoline-specific expertise is uncommon. Warehouse clubs like Costco offer bundle pricing on select models. The trade-off is a smaller selection (often one or two models) with limited accessories and no installation services. Local specialty stores and Springfree Experience Centres let you see and test a trampoline before you commit. Use Springfree's store locator to find a display near you. Buying Channel Comparison

Should You Buy a Trampoline from Costco or Direct from the Brand?

Costco carries exclusive Springfree bundles, including an All Black Jumbo Round and a Large Square. Both include a matching FlexrStep and FlexrHoop at bundle pricing that undercuts buying each piece separately. Here is how the numbers compare:

The savings are real, but the trade-offs matter. Costco bundles come in one colourway (All Black) with no option for other colours or sizes. Professional installation is not included, and the bundles may not be available in all warehouses. Buying direct from Springfree gives you all nine models, colour options, and the ability to add professional installation at checkout. You also get direct customer support and access to the full accessory range. All Springfree purchases include a 10-year warranty on every component, regardless of where you buy. If you want a Jumbo Round or Large Square and can handle setup yourself, the Costco bundle is the better value. If you need a specific size, shape, or colour, buying direct is the simpler path.

Where Can You Buy a Springfree Trampoline?

Springfree sells through its own website and a network of stockists across Canada. Online: springfreetrampoline.ca, Amazon.ca, Costco, and Canadian Tire. In-store: Canadian Tire, Costco warehouses, and Springfree Experience Centres. Not all stores carry every model, so check availability before visiting. The brand's store locator maps Experience Centres and stockists near you. Displays are concentrated in the major metro areas, with fewer physical locations in regional areas.

Is It Cheaper to Buy a Trampoline at Costco?

For the specific models Costco carries, yes. Bundle pricing on the All Black Jumbo Round and Large Square saves several hundred dollars compared with buying the trampoline and accessories separately from Springfree's website. But Costco only stocks a couple of Springfree models. A family that needs an oval, compact, or mini-size trampoline will not find one there. In that case, you are not comparing prices on the same product. Price differences between other stockists are usually small. Most sellers price Springfree models at or near RRP. The bigger savings come from seasonal promotions, which vary by channel and time of year.

Buy a Trampoline from the Right Place

Where you buy a trampoline matters as much as which model you pick. Start with the size and shape that fits your yard and family, then find the channel that offers the best combination of price, support, and convenience. Browse the full Springfree lineup at springfreetrampoline.ca. Use the store locator to find a display near you, or check Costco and Canadian Tire for bundle pricing on select models.
