Inflatables can be divided into two categories, commercial grade and residential. It is not easy to judge the difference from the appearance, but you can check the prices. The residential inflatablers are made of heavy-duty nylon or polyester oxford, which is lighter and less durable than PVC tarpaulin. These tend to set up in the average backyard, which makes them a good fit for home or any indoor area. In general, the residential inflatablers can be used six months to one year.

As for commercial grade inflatablers, they are commonly made of heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin. The high quality PVC material is over 15oz, flame retardant and water proof, durable and resistant to tearing. From the materials, the commercial inflatablers can be used at least three years. Besides, commercial inflatables have the additional repair kit, which can last over five years. So now you can realize why commercial inflatables are much expensive than the residential ones.

Putting tarps down first can help to protect your inflatables, but will not prevent hard objects like rocks, sticks from puncturing the bottom.

It is important for you to store the inflatables properly when you don’t use them. If you used water with an inflatable, make sure to dry completely before you deflate it and roll them up to store. Otherwise, folding up a damp inflatable can allow mold and mildew to grow, which lead to illness in the participants.

•Flips, horseplay, wrestling, and other incorrect uses.

•Too many participants at the same time.

•Sharp objects – jewelry, shoes, toys, eyeglasses are brought into the inflatables.

•Children of mixed age and size play an inflatable together.

Therefore, taking appropriate safety precautions can aviod those accidents. Staking the inflatables into the ground is an important step that can prevent friction from tearing the bottom of the inflatables. Ensure that the inflatables are fixed with heavy things such as metal pegs or sandbags. It’s also crucial to pay attention to the weather and stop using the inflatables when rain or high winds occur. Lastly, you should explain and set up clear rules on how to use inflatables safely.
