Delivery of Inflatable

- As we cover different areas and have lots of hires going out, this time can vary.
Electric
- You need a supply of electricity within approx 30 meters to inflate the castle.
- If you do not, you may need to hire a generator - please phone for further details.
Access
- Please make sure that we have enough room to get our inflatable on a sack trolley into where it is going - we need an approximate width of 3ft.

Supervision and Damage
- Please ensure that our castle is supervised and policed at all times. This is for safety reasons and is a requirement by our insurance company.

- Some of our inflatables have age restrictions. Please do not exceed this as they will not be covered on our insurance and it could lead to the equipment becoming unsafe and result in tears in the castle (weight restrictions).
