Please ensure access routes to your garden or venue are clear, as we require approximately 4ft of width to move equipment through safely. The setup area should be free from sharp objects, mud, pet waste, and overhanging branches. We also require access to a power socket within 25 metres of the setup area.
Please allow extra room around the inflatable for safety mats, blowers, and anchoring. As a guide, we recommend allowing around 6ft at the front and rear, plus 3ft on each side. If you are unsure, contact us and we can help advise on the most suitable equipment for your available space.
Our inflatables are normally set up on grass for safety and anchoring purposes. If you have another surface in mind, please contact us before booking so we can discuss available options and suitability.
Some slight slopes may be suitable, depending on the angle and direction. We cannot install inflatables on steep or unsafe gradients. If your garden or venue is sloped, please let us know in advance.
The number of users depends on the size and design of the inflatable. Each unit has recommended user limits which must be followed at all times. We advise separating children into similar age and size groups for safe play.
This varies depending on the inflatable hired. All units have height and age guidance for safety reasons. Some items are designed specifically for younger children, while larger inflatables may suit older age groups too.
