Jumping Castles and other inflatable amusements

We often have people ask what our jumping castles are made out of. The technical answer is oxford cloth and commercial grade phthalate free PVC. This material in the major structural parts of our bouncers and slides and feels similar to the type of material they used to make those big green tents that the Scouts and other groups would use.

The material is not at all like the plastic which is used in inexpensive blow up pools and toys which is easily punctured and torn. The material also is not like the material you may have seen in some home use jumping castles sold at Target, ALDI, Toys R Us etc., which feels thin and flimsy and similar to a fly sheet used in camping.

On surfaces used for bouncing, the material in Blast Zone bouncers has a smooth finish minimising friction for your children's skin and is of the same type and strength used in many commercial jumping castles: something you will not find in other domestic jumping castles.

Our jumping castles are put together using needle and thread, just like the more expensive commercial inflatables. The advantage of this is that they can be repaired relatively easily using a needle and thread and the design has a certain amount of "give" so that when children bounce air pressure is being dispersed throughout the entire jumping castle and out of its stitching rather than too much air pressure in one place causing it to pop like cheaper jumping castles do.
