What preparations should I make before taking delivery of the bouncy castle?
Our bouncy castles are delivered on a sack trolley and we require a minimum clear access of 3ft wide. Please ensure that any paths leading to the area where the Bouncy castle is to be erected are clear and that the proposed site is reasonably level, free from obstacles, stones, sharp objects, dog mess etc, and is not excessively muddy. If there are any overhanging trees or bushes encroaching on the proposed site, these will need to be pruned back prior to our arrival. The unit cannot be sited where any side of it brushes up against shrubs, trees, fences etc. Barbecues must not be sited within 25 feet of the inflatable for obvious safety reasons. We will unfortunately have to refuse bookings for sites that are unsafe/unsuitable, but full payment will be required if we arrive onsite and cannot set-up for any of the above reasons.
