Please ensure: a flat, level area with 1 m clearance on all sides; a 15A power point within 25 m; and a gate or access of at least 1 m wide. For wet units, a garden hose connection within 10 m. Full details on our Delivery page.

Do you stay on site during the hire?

No — we deliver your castle and return at the agreed time to collect it. You are responsible for supervision throughout the hire. See our Safety page.

Safety & Cancellation

Each unit has its own recommended age range listed on the product page. As a general rule, maximum weight per user is 80 kg. Do not mix very young children (under 5) with older children without separating them. See our Safety page for full details.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Light rain: wet units continue; dry castles should be deflated if surfaces get slippery. Heavy rain, lightning, or winds above 40 km/h: deflate immediately. If weather makes the hire unusable, we reschedule at no penalty. See our Cancellation Policy.

Is the equipment clean and safe?

Yes. Every unit is cleaned and inspected when it comes back to us — whether we collect it or the customer drops it off. It’s checked and ready before your event. We take this seriously — every time.
