Testing The Speed Of The Wind
As fun as bounce houses are to use, no inflatable device is indestructible. Occasionally, you will hear or read a news story that tells of how an improperly set up bounce house started to blow away from its set-up site in poor weather conditions. These accidents are always tragic, both in their outcome and in how easily avoided each occurrence could have been. To avoid potential disaster, you should not set up your bounce house when the wind outside is blowing faster than 15 miles per hour. If you are having trouble accurately measuring your local wind speed, don’t worry. There are several different ways to test the speed of the wind, in the process determining whether or not setting up your bounce house is a good idea for today.
A sure way to gain an accurate measurement of how fast the wind is blowing is by using additional tools. The tools best suited for the job can be used by professional meteorologists, but are also common enough to be found in one’s garden. Wind socks are commonly used by weather specialists to judge the speed and power of wind and air. If you have access to such a device, you can use it to your advantage. If the sock is filled up air at a frequent rate, it is wise to hold off on setting up your bounce house. A good majority of houses and gardens have a weather vane set up somewhere, which tells you which direction the wind is blowing in, but not how fast. The vanes should be used with an anemometer to give you the most accurate measurement of how fast the wind is moving today. Anemometers are small devices with half-circle shapes for blades. When wind blows through the blades of the anemometer, the speed of the gust of wind is measured and tracked by several meters, easily read and clearly displayed for you to see. Placing an anemometer near a weather vane can help you accurately determine the speed of the wind and which direction it is traveling in. These findings can help you judge whether or not you should risk setting up your bounce house, and if you do, finding a good set-up location to avoid the main wind power.
If you do not currently have access to such tools, you can still manage to properly gauge the potential threat of the wind by performing several tests yourself. You will need to step outside for each of these tests; you will be unable to gain an accurate feel for the weather while inside. The amount of clouds in the sky can help you accurately judge whether or not setting up your bounce house is a good idea. An overcast sky paired with strong gusts of wind can not only signify a powerful windstorm, but an upcoming thunderstorm as well. If you find yourself shivering in the gusts of wind, you may end up being equally uncomfortable while jumping inside of your inflatable device. The piercing bite of the cold wind may also put a strain on the walls of your bounce house, if not potentially weakening them.
Remember that wind can potentially harm your bounce house in multiple different ways. An improperly set up bounce house can indeed have its stakes blown out of the ground by a strong gust of wind, but that gust of wind can also carry debris from nature, such as branches, tree bark, and smaller yard appliances. The wind can accidentally cause these items to collide with your bounce house, potentially causing a tearing or deflation in the process. Always be cautious when it comes to setting up your bounce house. If the weather isn’t looking so cooperative, it maybe best to postpone your plans for another day. There are so many weekends in the spring and summer months that you may not even notice the delay.
Key Features Of A Great Bounce House Theme
Bounce houses are one of the most popular toys and attractions one could possibly own. Each different bounce house brings its own unique style and theme to the market, and as a result, the amount of possible bounce houses available is incredibly high, and shows no signs of dropping anytime soon. If you’re specifically searching for a bounce house with a theme, you should be on the lookout for some certain features that exist in all the elaborate and popular inflatable devices.
If your primary users of this bounce house will be children, it is highly important that the theme you select is welcoming and friendly, without being too lifelike or scary. You don’t want to potentially scare off or frighten any young kid just being introduced to bounce houses for the first time. If there are faces on the outside walls of the inflatable, they should be happy and smiling, which promise fun and excitement inside their walls for all to be had. Any animals or characters that might potentially be seen as scary or frightening should be made to be overly exaggerated, resembling that of a cartoon. The main goal of a bounce house should be to provide happiness and thrills, especially for those who have never used a bounce house before.
Once you’ve found the right theme that will attract your friends and family within minutes, the next step is make sure that you bounce house has a good color scheme. Take note of the various colors that make up the oxford cloth or polyvinyl chloride. All the top quality designers and manufacturers of moonwalks work long and hard, experimenting with different color schemes for each bounce house until they find just the right combination of hues and pigments. For instance, a bounce house with an ocean theme would be wise to contain a good amount of blue in the color palette. Colors like purple or orange are simply not what one thinks of when envisioning the ocean, and the wrong or unsuited color scheme can hinder the imaginations of those bouncing that day.
Also, when searching for a bounce house, be on the lookout for any bouncer with multiple different colors that bring its theme to life. The wider variety of colors that a bounce house has, the more welcoming and inviting the bounce house becomes. After all, these will be the colors that shine from your yard all over the neighborhood once your bounce house is fully inflated. An inflatable device with dull or faded colors simply will not do. The best and brightest bouncers create the most memorable summertime experiences.
Have Fun This Fourth Of July Weekend
With the 4th of July coming up this Monday, you likely have quite an amount of plans and activities in store. If nothing else, it's highly certain you have at least a three-day weekend. After all, Independence Day, the 4th of July, has to be one of the United States' most important and beloved holidays. The 4th of July is a national celebration of the founding of this country, and we go all out in celebrating. In all 50 states, family and friends hold massive barbeques, go on vacations, and attend local festivals and carnivals to celebrate with your fellow neighbor. Regardless of your location, the day will be capped off with the largest and brightest fireworks display your eyes have ever seen. In your adventures this weekend, there's a very good chance that you will have the opportunity to use a bounce house at some point. Make sure to treat them, and yourself, with the highest amount of safety and common sense you can.
During your travels in the beginning of July, you will likely see many bounce houses on display and ready for use, either in your own yard for a family gathering, or numerous different sizes and styles rented for a local festival. There’s a good chance you will see at least one bounce house with an American theme and colors. Any bounce house with an American theme is easily identifiable due to its prominent red, white, and blue color design shining brightly under the sun. These inflatable devices include bounce houses, water slides, and combo jumpers, and are sure to have the word “America” prominently in their name. To cater to large crowds, these bouncers will likely be accessible to partygoers of all ages, and free to use from sunrise to sunset.
Even though it is a holiday and time for celebration, you should not relax on safety and sense when using any kind of inflatable device. All the same rules still apply when using your bounce house. Do not detonate any kind of firework or sparkler near an inflatable device. The explosive power of even a small firecracker is enough to puncture the walls of a bounce house, not to mention the fact that every one of these devices set off sparks. These sparks can set fire to the bounce house if you aren’t careful, regardless if the bouncer is inflated or not. When the official fireworks are set to start, make sure that the bounce house has been completed deflated and properly packed away so that sparks and flames from the fireworks show do not land on, hit, or ignite the inflatables. Always have at least one responsible adult on hand near your bounce house's set-up location to make sure that it is always safe and under guard from accidents and mishaps.
Whether you have massive plans for your 4th of July weekend made well in advance, or simply intend to relax and take it easy among family for the festivities, make sure that you remain safe and happy. This great holiday is a time for celebration and excitement, and using a bounce house can bring you both of those things in abundance, but make sure that you follow all the same rules and precautions you normally would when bouncing. Safety is highly critical for all during this kind of event, especially for you and your children. Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July, everybody.
The Most Popular Sports In A Bounce House
A common feature that you will find in a good majority of bounce houses is the presence of additional games and activities located in the bouncing area. The most common types of games you’ll find in these bounce houses are modified versions of popular sports, each with their own unique take on the activity. While all the games you’ll find are fun, some sports are more adept for the transition from court or field to the bounce house than others.
Basketball is one of the most beloved sports in the country. Gymnasiums, public parks, and driveways all over the world have at least one basketball hoop set up for team play, a quick game of H.O.R.S.E., or improving one’s skills. Basketball is likely one of the most popular games or sports that can be played safely in a bounce house. All that is required for a game of basketball to be played inside of your jump house is the presence of one, or preferably two, hoops to shoot the ball through. Almost all bounce houses that carry a sports theme these days include at least one hoop made from vinyl materials found in the walls of the bouncer itself. These hoops are easy to construct and install, and in the interests of team play, will be found in multiple locations inside of the structure. Users can split themselves up into teams and play competitively or for exhibition and recreation all day long. Sports bouncers such as these always come with at least one ball for use right out of the box. Each ball that ships with an inflatable device, regardless of the sport, is made from safe neoprene materials, safe for use by all ages and almost impossible to even accidentally harm someone with.
Inflatable bouncers specifically designed with the game of dodgeball in mind are great fun and are always highly recommended by customers. The bouncing area of inflatable devices like the Jump’n Dodgeball is separated into two different areas by a wall running through the center. This wall has multiple holes of varying sizes and positions (some large, some small, some close to the floor, some at eye level, etc.) Kids split up into teams and throw the included dodgeballs through the holes to the other side, trying to hit the players on the opposing team, all while leaping and jumping out of the way of the opposing players’ throws.
Some inflatable devices can contain sports in the form of games, or activities, but cannot really be considered “sports-themed bounce houses”. For instance, baseball is one of the nation’s most popular and endearing sports, and is a staple of summertime activity and entertainment. However, you will rarely find a bounce house that allows users to play baseball inside of the bouncing area. Even if the bat and ball are made of soft neoprene materials, the majority of bouncing areas are too confined for the game of baseball to be truly played and appreciated. Instead, there are several baseball-themed inflatable devices that allow users to more accurately and safely simulate the national pastime. Inflatable devices like the Inflatable Arcade Style Baseball Challenge are essentially arcade or midway games that can be set up in your own home. The object of the inflatable is to improve one’s pitching ability by throwing the softballs through the specified holes in the back wall. The better you throw, the more points you receive. Regardless of intent or the sport, bounce houses and inflatable devices with sports themes are guaranteed to be top-notch sources of physical activity and summer entertainment.
Rainbow Bounce Houses
Bounce houses and other inflatable devices have long been considered to be among the best in popular summertime entertainment, and will continue to be for a long, long time. The appeal of bouncing among friends and siblings on a bright, shiny day all day long stretches far and wide across the country, attracting the interest of children and parents alike. Part of this mass appeal of bounce houses is their appearance. Often, the most popular bounce houses will contain color schemes that shine brightly under the sun, attracting the attention of your friends and neighbors for an exciting summer day. This is definitely a main reason why multiple different colors in a rainbow design pattern are used to create some of the most popular, enduring bounce houses for the suburbs, cities, and beyond.
Part of the charm of inflatable devices is the ability of their designers and manufacturers to pick just the right combination of colors to create memorable themes and to bring a user’s imagination to life. Some colors work far better than others to bring out the right feelings during bouncing. For instance, bouncers with an ocean theme are more likely to use blue in their design to bring out images and feelings rather than red or orange. Bounce houses with a full rainbow color scheme use each color equally and evenly to not only appeal to all sorts of different people, but to also bring out the most vibrant imaginations among the users. One minute, people can be high above the earth, bouncing on a rainbow in the clouds; the next minute, they can be in a fantasy castle on display, and so on. These jump houses are also all but guaranteed to have the owner or their children’s favorite color somewhere in the mix, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fabric shining brightly and on display for all to see. It’s gorgeous to look at and so much fun to actually use.
You can find the rainbow design in all sorts of bounce houses and inflatable devices. Bouncers like the Kidwise Lucky Rainbow Bouncer And Ball Pit use every colors of the rainbow to evoke and bring out the best of imagination. Other bounce houses can also contain every color of the rainbow in their designs, but not specifically be focused around a “rainbow” theme. The designers of these bouncers simply use every color at their disposal to inspire imagination and fantasy through play without being named after their color scheme.
You can also find the colors of the rainbow in bounce house accessories, as well. The majority of ball pit balls you can find for your moonwalk/ball pit combo bouncers have a rainbow design. Like the inflatable devices they’re designed for, the ball pit balls appeal to everyone through their fun concept and multiple colors present, creating a happy exciting day without even trying to. The materials of the spheres may differ depending on the brand you end up choosing, but regardless, the bright colors will remain.
Inflatable Slide Safety
One of the great innovations over the years of bounce houses and inflatable devices is the creation of the inflatable slide. These slides can be found inside or attached to bounce houses in the form of inflatable combo bouncers, or as their own stand-alone inflatable device. The majority of all inflatable slides can be attached to a garden hose and converted into a water slide. These slides are the perfect source of summer thrills and recreation, and holds massive appeal across the country by children and adults alike. However, like all inflatable devices, there is the opportunity for accidental injury to the users of inflatable slides through neglect or pure accident. Thankfully, all possible injuries and accidents are easily preventable as long as users can maintain some responsibility and knowledge of the rules while slipping and sliding.
A very important rule when using an inflatable slide is to only allow one user to slide down the slope at one time. Picture a kid climbing to the top of the water slide, coasting down, and landing in the shallow pool of water at the bottom. While that kid may be taking a minute to relax in the pool of water, an eager new user runs up and slides down without looking. Also consider if a child were to become stuck while sliding down, and a new user was to launch themselves before the first one had time to clear out. The two users may end up accidentally colliding, an unfortunate occurrence that can absolutely be avoided. For the sake of safety, allow only one person to be sliding down the slide at any given time. Wait for the user to completely clear the slide area before allowing the next to climb and slide down. In addition, only allow one person to climb to the top at any one time. (However, if your inflatable slide has multiple lanes for racing or simultaneous use, you are free to allow two people sliding at a time in their own lane.) Have the rest of the waiting slide users form a line off the side, rather than hang out impatiently on the steps. A parent or adult on the scene can be responsible for enforcing the “no piling on” rule while supervising the day’s events.
Never attempt to climb up the slide from anywhere other than the designated climbing structure, usually a set of inflatable stairs or ladder steps built into the back of (or next to) the slide. Every inflatable slide’s slope is designed for sliding down, not for climbing. Even if a user was to make their way to the top of the slope from the shallow pool at the bottom without slipping backwards, all it does is potentially weaken the fabric of the slope for no reason other than to show off to friends. Attempting to pull oneself up to the top of the slide off the sides of the structure is also highly discouraged, as the dangerous amount of weight pulling down on the device from the side can cause the device to topple and collapse on its side. Foolish displays of risk like these have no place around an inflatable slide. If you are climbing up your water slide, make sure that you do it from the intended steps, one at a time. That’s what they’re designed for, after all.
Just like any other inflatable device you could possibly own, if there is a rip or tear in the fabric, or if there is a leak, users should follow standard evacuation procedure to allow the knowledgeable to repair the damage. Luckily for users of the slide, there is generally no risk of being trapped or stuck inside of the fabric if the device were to deflate, as there is no ceiling or roof present over the majority of the slide. Have the current slide rider calmly make their way down to the bottom and off the inflatable. Once that is done, turn off the water, unplug the hose, and identify where the tear was made so that it can be properly repaired. Any other questions or concerns you may have regarding your inflatable slide will likely be answered in the instructional manual or an e-mail to the manufacturers. As long as you observe common sense and safety while around your inflatable device, these potential problems will never strike your slide for the duration of the summer.
Bounce House Volunteers
Bounce houses are universally loved by thrill-seekers around the world, and remain highly popular sources of spring and summer entertainment to this day. Due to their wide-spread recognition and appeal, bounce houses have become a staple of local festivals, fairs, and other public events. If you are organizing an event such as this, including a bounce house in the list of festivities will be all but guaranteed to raise public interest in the celebration and bring more guests to the attractions. One thing you will eventually notice when planning such massive events is the amount of compassion in any one community for fun to be had by all. As a result, you may find yourself with many people volunteering to help out with running the games and attractions. Any help should be accepted and encouraged for a large-scale event such as the one you’re planning.
If the public event or celebration you are planning is going to be taking up more than one day, if not a full weekend or longer, you’re likely going to need a lot of help in order to keep order among the exhilaration and entertainment. Whether of their own free will or in response to a call for help, people will show up to volunteer their services for large local events. Many will request to help with the bounce houses, moonwalks, and whatever other inflatable devices you will have on display. These volunteers may consist of familiar faces that show up to volunteer their services at any local celebration. This is selflessness that grows out of one’s love for a town, and should be rewarded. These people can also include potential bounce house owners, possibly still on the fence about buying an inflatable device for their home. Because of this curiosity, they may want to see what owning and operating a bounce house is like for a day or weekend before making the final purchase for their own home. Regardless of intent, you should not deprive anyone of the opportunity to help out with the upcoming events.
There are various tasks for volunteers to carry out in regards to bounce houses. During set-up, bounce house rental crews and technicians have no doubt been brought out to inflate and supervise the inflatable devices for the day. While these people will have a large amount of combined experience in the bounce house industry, they can still do with some help. The crews can likely handle inflating the bouncer and monitoring the blower and outlet set-up for the day, but can still seek additional help during the start of the set-up. Strong volunteers can help by driving and pounding stakes into the ground to secure the bounce houses in place. Once the stakes are firm and unwavering, the crew should be able to handle the rest of the technical aspects.
Another task that volunteers can assist with is supervising the wellness of the bounce house and its participants. While a rental crew will be present at the bounce houses, they will likely be preoccupied with keeping an eye on the technical and electrical features of the bouncer, namely the blower and the outlet. Volunteers can especially help by periodically inspecting the bounce house for any holes or tears that may have suddenly appeared. The sooner these are spotted, the sooner they can be properly repaired. Another way for adults and parents to supervise a bounce house is by monitoring the behavior of younger users, making sure that they play nicely and don’t get too out of control for the rest of the participants. Younger users may also need help climbing in and out of the inflatable bouncers, which is where parents and adults can especially come in handy. All this volunteer work may seem somewhat daunting to plan and enforce, but by the end of the festivities, once the guests have gone home, the lights have been shut off, and the bounce houses have been safely deflated, creating another memorable experience for your town will all have been worth it.
Securing A Stake In The Ground
Every day that you decide to set up your bounce house is a day that will be remembered fondly by friends and family. Bounce houses are a remarkable, nearly unending source of entertainment and thrills for all ages. However, proper set-up of the bounce house, water slide, or other inflatable device is a highly critical step. An improper set-up of a bounce house can lead to possible collapse later in the day, and should be avoided and prepared for well ahead of time. One of the most important set pieces of a well-constructed set-up site is the placement of the bounce house stakes.
All bounce houses ship with at least four stakes, each specifically designed to keep your bounce house in place, and statistically unlikely to come loose during the day’s events. Each stake that you receive will be at least 12 inches long, and depending on the size of the bounce house itself, can stretch to nearly 3 feet in length. The length of your particular stakes has been determined by bounce house manufacturers and designers during the initial construction of the bouncer. The bigger your bounce house is, the more stakes it will likely require to remain safely attached to the ground. Each stake is notable in that its top will be bent at a 90-degree angle, in contrast with the rest of the stake.
Try to avoid pounding the stakes into the ground on an angle; instead, try to hammer them down as straight and evenly as possible. Typically, stakes for tents, canopies, and other similar objects can be hammered into the ground on an angle to make it harder for the loops or string to slide off the metal piece. Doing so is not required for stakes made for inflatable devices because of the bend at the top of each stake. The bent portion of the stake allows the bounce house’s tie-down loop to simply be slipped over the top of the nail. As long as the bend at the top is pointed away from the bounce house, the loop on the stake will be held firmly in place. When you are hammering in the stakes, make sure that you do not leave the top of the stake too far exposed out of the ground. This can lead to people accidentally tripping over the tie-down loop. Pound each spike down, but not as far as pounding it completely underground.
There are several different tests that you can perform on the ground that will act as the foundation for a bounce house site to make sure that it is acceptable for initial and repeated usage. Start by simply hammering one stake into the ground where you feel like setting up. Take note of how easy or difficult it is to drive it into the soil. If the ground is too dry, the stake may easily come free from slight movement in the dirt. However, if you find yourself struggling to even pound one stake into the ground, it will be more of a chore to properly secure the rest of the stakes. It can also imply that the ground you have chosen might be too hard for a bounce house to be safely inflated and used for the day. The best combination of soil and grass for a set-up site should allow the stake to easily be hammered into the ground, while at the same time is hard to move once in the ground. For these features, be on the lookout for freshly watered grass which looks healthful in appearance. Just remember that grass that has just been watered can rub the water off on the bounce house’s vinyl material, so a tarp separating the grass from the bounce house’s floor would be a worthy addition to the set-up site. Also, take note of the trees and other forms of nature surrounding the proposed bounce house site. If you notice that the trees and grass in the area appear somewhat wilting, with brown or sparse leaves and vegetation, it well likely means that the area has not seen rain or garden watering in some time.
Can Adults Use Bounce Houses?
Bounce houses are tremendous sources of entertainment for the upcoming spring and summer months, and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Frequently in this blog and on our websites, we’ll refer to bounce houses as being fun for all ages, or in similar phrasings. However, an unfortunate idea that is in the heads of many adults and parents still on the fence of buying a bounce house is that they are too old or heavy to use their purchased bouncer, or that bounce houses and inflatable devices in general are only to be used by children. Take note, because we’re about to debunk some common misconceptions about bounce houses.
There seem to be many common reasons why parents can’t use any kind of inflatable device: a bounce house can’t support an adult’s weight, adults are too fragile to start jumping around, and moonwalks are for children, etc. The idea that bounce houses are unable to support the weight of anyone out of their teens is simply not true. Every single inflatable device that you can possibly purchase will ship with a manual clearly stating the amount of weight the bouncer can support when fully inflated. Every bounce house you can find has been stitched multiple times during construction to build up strength and resistance to stress during inflation. As a result, basically every bounce house can support hundreds of pounds at any inflation point. There is obviously no constant weight limit among bounce houses, but your inflatable will clearly state the limits for you to plan around. If you still feel worried about the structural integrity when adults are jumping in a bounce house, don’t worry. Certain inflatable devices, such as inflatable obstacle courses, can assuredly hold the weight of an adult without fear of collapse. Obstacle courses, depending on their size, can hold anywhere from 500 to over 1000 pounds of weight, which can definitely support the weight of many adults simultaneously. As long as you remain responsible and stay within the clearly marked weight limit, anything is possible.
If you feel that you are physically unable to jump around in a bounce house, then that’s your business. No one is going to order you to start jumping if you don’t want to, but be aware of the fact that there are inflatable devices that cater to those in need. There are several types of water-based inflatables that include shallow wading pools easily accessible to anyone. Younger children can play and splash about on the various water slides and activities while their parents or guardians encourage them from the wading pool, staying relaxed while using their device along with their children. This way, adults can supervise their children and the workings of the inflatable at the same time.
If you are a potential bounce house owner still worried about how fragile inflatable devices can be, don’t worry. Bounce houses are more than able to handle users of varying ages. As long as you apply common sense while your bounce house is inflated, and do not exceed the overall weight limit, your inflatable bouncer should have no risk of falling apart from misuse. We know your bounce house will end up in capable, responsible hands.
Testing The Ground For A Set-Up Site
The set-up process that all bounce house owners must carry out before bouncing may begin is highly important to the day’s events. When you’re setting up a bounce house, you’re laying the foundation for a massive inflatable device which not only has to stay put for the entire day, but also must be capable of remaining safe for the users of the bounce house jumping all day long. The ground beneath the bounce house must be up to the task. When inspecting the ground for an ideal location, make sure that you plan out your yard and make note of any imperfections in the property that could cause the set-up site to potentially come undone. The specifics of your set-up site will differ from location to location, but there are several guidelines to follow when planning out your bouncing site.
There are several features you can detect in the ground, either on the grass or on concrete that should set off a red flag and discourage you from setting up in that location. When inspecting the grass, make sure that the lawn is in good, healthy condition. Brown or faded pieces of grass can often be paired with dried-up, uncared-for soil underneath the surface. If you attempt to hammer your bounce house stakes into a dying landscape, you’ll find that the stake may not stay put in the ground, coming loose in the poor conditions of the soil. Any grass that you decide to inflate the bounce house on should be in good condition, frequently watered and shining bright underneath the sun’s rays. If you find a good healthy location for set-up and want to make sure that the ground stays in good condition during and after the bounce house is inflated on top of it, consider laying a tarp down upon the grass site and setting up the bounce house on top. The tarp will absorb most of the friction and heavy eight from the inflatable device and all who use it, preserving the grass beneath as best it can.
If you’re setting up upon concrete, there are many ways to inspect the ground to make sure that the bouncer does not become weakened, or even accidentally burst under the pressure. Any piece of land with blatant imperfections, such as cracks in the pavement or high amounts of gravel, should definitely be avoided. You should attempt to find the flattest, most level piece of land you can if setting up on pavement. The ground does not have to be deep or rich because you’re not driving stakes into concrete to hold the bouncer in place; you’re weighing it down with heavy sandbags. Bring a level to the proposed set-up location and make sure that there is no obvious slope to the ground. If the pavement of the area is not 100% flat, find a piece that is as close as possible. A slanted ground underneath a bounce house can possibly cause it to slide out of position, even with sandbags holding it down. This could potentially cause the polyvinyl chloride or oxford cloth to become scratched or gritty. The best sort of set-up locations on outdoor pavement are newly renovated and paved parking lots. These are far less likely to have old imperfections, and are often flatter than any surrounding location.
Remember that finding the set-up location is one of the most important parts of the day. An uneven foundation for your inflatable device can cause the bounce house to become stressed, and can even cause the entire set-up to fall apart before your eyes, leading to possible emergency and injuries. If you put in the extra effort ahead of time to plan out the best possible ground, you will be rewarded with day after day of worry-free bouncing and leaping for all users.
