Oh no! What if it rains?

What are the costs involved in hiring a jumping castle?

When you hire a jumping castle, you can either choose to choose from a half-day hire or full-day hire. You should check your rental company’s website for the individual prices and other conditions for the hire. If you want to book for an overnight hire or extend to up to a few days, you can indicate this when you book through a site or call your jumping castle provider. This way, they can advise you of any extra payments or policies for extended hires.

Can the jumping castle be set up on concrete or bitumen?

You must indicate where your jumping castle will be set up. The inflatable can be held down by pegs if it is set on grass, but if it will be on concrete on bitumen, the rental company should bring sandbags and rubber mats. The sandbags are there to hold the inflatable in place instead of pegs and the rubber mats keep the children safe from bumping their heads on concrete while playing.
