My wife and I purchased a Bravo Sports Airzone 14' trampoline (Mfr code JH / serial# 005430) a couple years ago as a Christmas gift for our children. When I unboxed it I was a bit surprised to find styrofoam used for padding as part of the product. This was new. Until now I thought styrofoam was for packaging purposes. I also noticed plastic zip ties included as a method of securing the styrofoam to the frame. I assumed the styrofoam and zip ties would be protected from the sun and heat by the blue fabric/plastic boarder sewn around the mat, which stretches over the frame; covering the foam, zip ties, and elastic bands. It turns out I was wrong.

By the end of the first summer, the sun and heat had faded and worn through much of the blue outer edge covering, exposing the gridwork of strings inside. By the end of the second summer, the covering was so far decayed that the sun had also badly damaged the layers underneath. The styrofoam began deteriorating as well and was falling on the ground. The zip ties were brittle and falling off too. The elastics had also been badly affected by the sun and as a result, lost much of their elasticity. A few had even began unraveling. It seemed as though I had purchased an inferior product.

 

If the trampoline is used indoors and out of the sun, it would work great; however, who has room for an indoor trampoline. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed at all with this product.
