However, if you have specific timing needs (e.g., for a party start time), feel free to contact us in advance, we’ll do our best to accommodate your request!
Do I need to be home during delivery?
Yes, we recommend that someone is present at the delivery location to receive the inflatable or bouncy castle. This ensures we can:
- Set up the equipment in your preferred location
- Go over safety instructions and usage guidelines
- Confirm any access requirements (e.g., through gates or narrow paths)
If you won’t be home, please let us know in advance. We may be able to make alternative arrangements, such as setting up in a pre-agreed location or coordinating with another family member.
How much space is required for setup?
Each inflatable or bouncy castle has its own space requirements, which can vary depending on the design and size.
To ensure a safe and successful setup, please check the specific size and space requirements listed on the product page of the inflatable you’ve selected.
In general, please also ensure:
- There is clear access with no obstructions at least 3ft (0.9m) wide to the setup area
- The area is flat, free of debris, and has no overhead obstructions
- A power outlet is available within 25 meters
If you’re unsure whether your space is suitable, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help!
Can the inflatables or bouncy castles be set up indoors?
Yes, many of our inflatables and bouncy castles can be set up indoors, provided there is enough space and suitable access.

- The venue has sufficient ceiling height (check the height of the inflatable on the product page)
- There is clear access with no steps at least 3ft wide for delivery and setup
- The floor is clean, flat, and free of sharp objects
- There is access to a power outlet within 25 meters
