[toggle_content title=”What happens if it rains?”]
Don’t worry. All Bongo Bounce castles come equipped (except for Toy Story 3) with a sun/rain roof. On days where inclement weather is forecast, we will contact you to see if you still wish to go ahead with the booking. If the weather becomes too dangerous to operate the castle, we have to cancel the hire because we would never risk anybody’s safety[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”How much room do I need to have?”]
Apart from the castle itself, we also need room to fit in safety mats at the front and blower tubes at the back. We also need clearance at the sides. The easiest way to figure out the clearance needed for each castle is to add 2 metres to the width and 3 metres to the length. For example, a 4m x 4m castle will need 6m x 7m clearance. We have the dimensions of all our castles listed on the website. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you are unsure about the space requirements of any of our castles.

[toggle_content title=”Are the castles clean?”]
The castles are cleaned before and after every use. We pride ourselves on great products that are always clean. We inspect them after they are inflated just to make sure.[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title=”How is the jumping castle powered?”]
It runs off electricity and we use the power points at your house. We will need a power point to be within 25m of where the castle is to be set up. We provide a 25m extension lead and residual current device (safety switch). Should the hire be for an area without power points we can hire you a generator at an additional cost. You may provide your own generator but it must be at least 3kva.[/toggle_content]

We are contactable by mobile phone throughout the day. We do not anticipate that you would need to contact us for anything but we are only a phone call away if you need us.
If you have a question that was not answered on this page then please give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you! ”
