As the bouncy castle season draws to a close and there is less call for outdoor parties due to the colder, wetter weather there are still many tasks which should be carried out before packing up and hibernating.
Whilst you may not want to shut down your operation completely, keeping some of your smaller, ‘indoor’ bouncy castles out just in case you secure some Christmas bookings, your larger items should be safely stored for winter. Before entering storage however, it can be wise to ensure all of your inflatables are in a good state of repair.
Repairing your bouncy castles before they enter storage means that once the new season rolls around you do not have to expend the effort and resources right at the start of the season when you have one hundred and one other things to manage.
Repairs can be handled in a number of ways:
If you only have a few minor tears and other pieces of damage you may want to use a repair kit. Typically when you buy a bouncy castle it will come with such a kit, containing PVC swatches, a hand needle and sometimes a tube of adhesive. If you haven’t got a kit, they can be bought separately from retailers.
If however your bouncy castles have sustained serious damage over the season, this is the ideal time to get them repaired. For more drastic repairs however it is best to get in the professionals to ensure that the repairs are carried out correctly and will not jeopardise the safety of the inflatable. Such bouncy castle repair services will normally require you to take inflatables to a workshop, where professionals can complete thorough and conscientious repairs.
Ensuring that your bouncy castles are properly repaired improves their chances of passing inspections and tests, which are fundamental to running a safe and successful bouncy castle hire company.
