>From zpoolprops(8):

free    The amount of free space available in the pool.  By contrast,
        the zfs(8) available property describes how much new data can be
        written to ZFS filesystems/volumes.  The zpool free property is
        not generally useful for this purpose, and can be substantially
        more than the zfs available space. This discrepancy is due to
        several factors, including raidz parity; zfs reservation, quota,
        refreservation, and refquota properties; and space set aside by
        spa_slop_shift (see zfs-module-parameters(5) for more
        information).
