Where Can You Put a Jumping Castle?

Short version: almost anywhere flat. Grass, concrete, paving, dirt, gravel — even indoors in a hall. What changes is how we anchor it.

Every surface, and how we secure it

On grass and dirt, castles are anchored with pegs hammered into the ground — the standard, most secure method. On concrete, paving, gravel or indoors, pegs can't go in, so the castle is anchored with sandbags instead — book a sandbag set from our catalogue with your castle and we bring them along. That's the only thing you need to remember: if pegs can't go into your surface, add sandbags to the booking.

How long setup takes (less than you think)

From our crew arriving to kids jumping: 5 to 10 minutes. People are often surprised — the inflation itself takes only 30 to 60 seconds; the rest is positioning and anchoring. Breakdown at collection is the same 5–10 minutes. You don't lift, assemble or inflate anything — we deliver, set up, and collect.

What you need to prepare

Three things: a cleared flat area big enough for the castle (dimensions are on every product page — leave extra room around it for anchoring and the blower), a normal power point within reach (the blower is a 1.1kW unit that runs off a standard household plug — extension cords are hireable if the socket's far), and clear access for the crew to carry the castle in.

One rule for water units

Slip-n-slides and water slides can't go on surfaces that become slippery when wet — that's a safety line we don't cross. Grass is their home. More in our slip-n-slide guide.
