Winter weather can be harsh on your bounce house, so it’s important to take steps to protect it during the off-season. In this post, we’ll discuss how to store your bounce house for the winter.
The first step in winter storage is to clean the inflatable thoroughly, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow it to dry completely before deflating it.
Once the bounce house is deflated, fold it carefully, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the folds are even and tight, and secure the inflatable with bungee cords or straps to prevent it from unfolding during storage.
It’s also a good idea to wrap the inflatable in a tarp or other protective cover to prevent dust and debris from accumulating during storage. Make sure the cover is secure, but not too tight, as this can cause the vinyl material to stretch and warp.
When choosing a storage location, make sure it is dry, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing the inflatable in areas with high humidity, as this can promote mold and mildew growth.
If possible, store the inflatable indoors, such as in a garage or basement. If you need to store it outside, make sure it is elevated off the ground to prevent moisture from seeping in from below.
It’s also a good idea to periodically check on your inflatable during storage to make sure it is still in good condition. Inspect it for signs of damage or wear, and make any necessary repairs before storing it again.
In conclusion, storing your bounce house properly during the winter is essential to its longevity and safety. Make sure the inflatable is clean, dry, and properly folded before storing it in a cool, dry location. Inspect it periodically for signs of damage or wear, and make any necessary repairs before storing it again.
