Frequently Asked Questions
When will I need a Supervisor?
Anywhere outside a backyard usually triggers the supervisor requirement. Just check with us.
How much flat area do we need?
Please check
the minimum required area next to the attraction you are interested in. As our jumping castles and combo designs vary in size, ask us to make sure it will fit in your area.
How high is the inflatable?
Each inflatable varies in height from 1.7m to over 10m. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
What surface can inflatables go on?
Carpet, pavers, grass, dirt, concrete, paving, asphalt etc. – if we can't use pegs we will use weights.
Can the inflatable be erected on a slope?
We understand not every area is flat, as long as the slope is not too severe.
Can the inflatable be in contact with walls or trees?
Unfortunately not, as it will damage the vinyl on the inflatable. When we deliver the inflatable we will
survey the area and place it to avoid contact with these damaging surfaces.
How does the inflatable stay blown up?
Our inflatables are all constant air inflatables. It is therefore continually
filled with air which comes from an electric blower. The blower is
connected to your power supply by a sealed, heavy duty extension cord
supplied by us. Electricity usage is minimal however we can only place two blowers on each circuit.
How much access space is needed to get an inflatable in?
Between 85cm and 1m for most inflatables, please ensure that
water heaters or Air conditioning units are not blocking the access. If
there are STEPS you must inform us prior to the day as additional
charges may apply if we need extra staff to deliver. If we are not
informed, we reserve the right to refuse delivery in order to comply
with our OH&S policy. Please enquire if you are not sure.
How long does it take to set up?
Around 15 minutes, depending on access and access to electricity.
Is the set up time included in the hire time?
No. For example - if your booking starts at 11am , we will have the
inflatable ready before that time. On very rare occasions, we may have
it ready after your booking time. We do ask that you provide
clear access to the driveway of your home as the inflatables are
sometimes difficult to move.
How many children can use the inflatable at the one time?
Mini jumping castles – between 6 and 8 children at the same time.
The Midi castles, 8– 10 children and medium to large size castles can
take up to 12 children at any one time under the ages of 13yrs. Other inflatables please check with our staff.
What happens if it rains on the day?
If we don’t hear from you, we will always deliver in rain, hail or shine.

Our drivers cannot accept credit card payments on the DAY however our office is usually open on Saturdays until 1pm.
How long can I have the castle for?
Usually a 4 hour or daily (7 hour) hire although some people book them for overnight. Bookings within Summer in a
backyard can go till dusk. During the winter months, obviously the days
get shorter and it gets darker much earlier bookings should be
completed 1 hour after sunset at the latest.
Do you have insurance?
We have $20,000,000 Public
Liability and should you wish a copy of our Certificate of Currency,
please email us.
What happens if we damage the inflatable?
You will be
liable to pay for all repairs and transport costs associated with having
the inflatable repaired should we ascertain you have deliberately damaged the inflatable. If adults use a jumping castle that is not an
adult castle, and it is damaged, then the above will also apply as
these inflatables are specifically available for children only.
What else should I be aware of?
Using items such as streamers, poppers, silly string etc are fun but they can severely damage the vinyl on the inflatable so please do not use them. Fresh face paint also stains the
vinyl. Please make sure all children’s faces are completely dry prior
to them jumping. You may also want to check that when children perspire,
the paint starts to run. Any streamer etc damage found on the
inflatable at time of pick up or when we clean the inflatable over the
following seven (7) days will result in an automatic charge of $500.
