Ginflatables KBMoonwalk, bounce houses and inflatable jumpers are all the same. They all serve the same purpose. Bouncing! The bouncy houses are called as space walks, moon walks, and many more. Here are certain things you should know about before buying them.
Working
You pump air into the inflatable bouncing houses. As they are elastic, they bounce you back when you jump on them.
Types of inflatable houses
There are two types of bouncing houses. They are sealed air units and continuous flow units.
Continuous Flow units
Here air is pumped in continuously. The pump is attached with the moonwalk through a tube. The tube is usually located in the back of the bouncing house.
Sealed Air Inflatables
You blow up the inflatable moonwalk and seal it with a plug. The air is held inside the inflatable.
Material
The bouncing houses are made of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), nylon or vinyl.
Designs
They come in different designs. The designs are all based on the cartoon characters. Choose the favorite character of your kid when you are buying or renting a bounce house.
Sizes
The sizes of the houses differ with weight and height of the people using it. The standard size of the house is 13'x13' to 15'x15'. And there are larger sizes like 20'x20'. The smaller ones are in the size of 10'x10'. The standard ones can accommodate at least four children of age 5-10 years at a time.
Prices
The commercial inflatable moonwalk costs $1000 to $3000. On the other hand, the consumer bouncing houses used indoors cost around $300. If you want a bounce house for a particular event, you should consider getting it from a rental service.
