Frequently asked questions
No, the inflatable does not have to be set up on grass. If any part of the inflatable will be on a surface other than grass, such as artificial lawn, concrete driveways, pavers, or inside halls or gyms, please inform the booking office to ensure weights and tarps are included in your hire at no extra charge.
If we have any concerns about the weather, we will contact you on the morning of your hire. Generally, bookings will continue in light rain. However, for safety reasons, we cannot set up in medium to heavy rain or wind, even though many inflatables come with rain/shade covers. These covers prevent rain from falling directly into the castle, but rainwater around the castle can make surfaces slippery and pose other safety issues.
If you're organizing a party, a Jumpingland jumping castle is a must-have for added fun and lasting memories, especially for kids' events, making it a popular choice for summer parties.
When setting up your Jumpingland inflatable this summer, it's crucial to ensure the area is suitable. Typically, jumping castles are anchored on grass using pegs. But can they be placed on hard surfaces like concrete, indoors or outdoors?
The answer is yes, with proper safety measures.
While some inflatable rental companies may hesitate, it's entirely feasible. Here are some methods:
Options for Securing Your Jumpingland Jumping Castle on Hard Surfaces:
Sandbags or Weights: Placing sandbags at each corner of the jumping castle provides stability, ideal for outdoor setups on concrete or bitumen.
Tying to a Strong Wall or Post: Using ropes to tie anchor points to sturdy structures like walls or posts, or even heavy vehicles, is effective but requires supervision to prevent tripping hazards for children.
Thunderbolts: Secure and safe for concrete surfaces, thunderbolts require drilling and bolting directly into the concrete to anchor the jumping castle securely. Note that they may leave small holes.
Additional Safety Considerations:
Rubber Mats: Essential for preventing injuries from falls on hard surfaces like concrete or bitumen.
Weather Conditions: Always check the weather forecast before setting up outdoors, as strong winds can pose risks if not properly secured.
Setting up a Jumpingland jumping castle on hard surfaces like concrete is achievable when following these safety guidelines. So, whether you're planning a party indoors or outdoors, you can proceed confidently with your Jumpingland inflatable rental.
