The weather plays a large factor in outdoor hires, in certain circumstances we may need to cancel a hire on the day due to bad weather i.e. extreme rain or wind. Please see the next section for an explanation on anchorage and wind speeds:

Inflatables:

The European standard 4.2.1 AnchorageThe inflatable shall be provided with an anchorage and/or ballast system and any necessary accessories enabling the inflatable to be securely fixed to the ground. Each inflatable shall have at least six anchorage points. Anchorage points shall be distributed around the perimeter of the inflatable and shall be fitted with metal ends. The maximum wind-speed in which inflatable's shall be used outdoors is 38 km/h (Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale). When used outdoors, the inflatable shall be secured to the ground with ground stakes where the ground is suitable. Each anchorage point on the inflatable and all of the components of the anchorage and/or ballast system, e.g. ropes, webbings, metal attachments, stakes, weights, shall withstand a force of 1 600 N.

Ground stakes shall be a minimum of 380 mm in length and a minimum of 16 mm in diameter and their tops shall be rounded. The system shall expose no more than 25 mm of the stake above ground level. When the inflatable is used indoors, the anchorage and/or ballast system should be used, when necessary, to maintain stability.

It is the responsibility of the person who is hiring this Bouncing Castle to ensure that all possible steps are taken to avoid injury or damage to the Inflatable.

In Wind speeds under 24 mph, we are legally allowed to put up our inflatables. Anything over 24 mph it is illegal to put up inflatables which will result in your booking being postponed.

No party poppers, coloured streamers, water or silly string to be used either on or near the equipment.

No smoking, barbeques or fires within 10 metres of the equipment.

Climbing, hanging or sitting on walls of the inflatables is DANGEROUS and must not be allowed at any time. It may also cause damage to the inflatable.

Users must remove their shoes before using the inflatables and put them back on when getting off the inflatable.

Please ensure that the inflatable is not over crowded and children are not pushing, colliding, fighting or behaving in a manner likely to injure or cause harm to other children.

It is the hirers responsibility to point out / mark any underground services where the inflatables are to be sited. Our anchor stakes are 380mm long and services should be deeper. However, on private property this isn't always the case. We will not be held liable for any damage caused to underground services or areas in which castles have been pegged into
