Long Term Bouncy Castle Hire
We ended a long term bouncy castle hire today in Welling. It was hired for three and a half months and sadly at the end of the hire we took the decision to scrap the inflatable. We took some pictures below which show the timeline of cutting the inflatable up, with the only thing left behind being a rather diminshed grassed area.
It's a pretty interesting look at how inflatables are made, with a modular approach taken where you can see clearly that the bouncy castle is made in sections, then sewn together afterwards.
While we could have had a couple of repairs made and cleaned the inflatable up, sometimes you just have to know when something has had it's day and passed it's best. We wouldn't want to hire it anymore as despite any amount of effort, it was never going to be up to our standards after the long standing abuse it has taken. Although we're very pleased that it has stood up so well to such a long standing hire and done it's job!
We'd like to add that this particular bouncy castle is very old and had already lived a very long life. This wasn't made specifically for a three and half month life-span and a waste of PVC, harming the environment. The material has all been piled up and we have been in contact with moralfibres, a company in the Isle of Wight that recycles paddling pools, inflatables and other plastics into new products, such as hand bags and other things. A very environmentally friendly way to dispose of old and unwanted PVC!
We're very happy to discuss long-term hire with customers. We perform weekly inspections of the equipment to make sure it's safe, secured and that there are no issues that cause any concern. However, specific terms, what would be suitable and if it's possible are all very individual depending ont he location, venue and other factors. It's impossible for us to share a standard structure for these types of hire, because frankly there is no standard long-term hire. What we can share though is that this particular hire saw a dramatic increase in families and children's attendance at their venue, something that they was aiming for this year. We included breaks in the terms so that they could stop the hire, but as it went so well, it was continued for longer than expected; Which is the greatest endorsement we could wish for.
We can source specific inflatables for the job, but you may want to look at our selection of bouncy castles for hire for some inspiration, ensuring that they meet the Health and Safety Exectutive requirements according to the appropriate BSEN standard for inflatables and make sure you have the right inflatable for the job.
Long term hires are often a very cost-effective way to market your business and attract customers. With us, we also commit to weekly inspections and weekly cleans, bringing specialist cleaning equipment to ensure it is free not just of debris, leaves and mess, but cleaned with anti-bacterial liquid and specific bouncy castle cleaning fluid. This makes sure that the equipment stays clean and attractive, despite the abuse. We provide instructions on what to do with regards to wind speed and supervision and create a safe set-up that you can be proud of and enjoy for the duration of the hire.
If you would like any type of inflatable on long-term hire, we'd be very pleased to hear from you.
