WEATHER RELATED WARNING
The snippets below is the guidance you will be issued with on the day of the hire, Please familiarise yourself with it as soon as you can to avoid disappointment
Do not inflate or operate your inflatable until you have read & understood our Terms and conditions, Health & safety pages & you have ensured 2 supervisors must be present at all times.
SUPERVISION:
All inflatables must be supervised by at least 2 responsible adults at all time per exit and entrance at all time. Please ensure these adults have adequate insurance in place and suitable experience. Should you not wish to take the risk, we can provide suitable insured staff on request at an extra cost. We must also insist that there is one member of staff in place to monitor bad weather conditions, with attention to the Beaufort Scale. Information regarding this can be found at the following link on the met offices website. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/marine/guide/beaufortscale.html. Please remember that In addition to this, there must be a supervisor at the top of the steps for all inflatable slides & Inside all inflatable structures such as domes & mazes.
HOT WEATHER:
Where the weather is particularly hot during summer months and heat waves, for example, The fabric of castles and mats gets very, very hot in the sun. Make sure the children are wearing socks so as not to burn the soles of their feet. Make sure they have a shade erected or position the inflatable so the sun is not shining directly into the castle. Remember our erectors will not know your hot spots during the intended hire period so please let them know on delivery and they will be happy to help. Do not be tempted to dowse the inflatable in water as this will cool the castle very temporarily but then the residual water will magnify the sun’s rays and heat up the PVC again very fast. Dot let children use the inflatable if the weather is too hot.
If the inflatable does get too hot, Please ensure no one (including adults) use the equipment to reduce the risk of burns to the skin. Please remember to use care and caution at all times in hot weather and call us direct for guidance if required.
