Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a moon bounce and a bounce house?
A moon bounce and a bounce house are essentially the same thing. The term "moon bounce" was popular in the 1980s, while "bounce house" is more commonly used today.
What's the difference between a bounce house and a trampoline?
A bounce house is an inflatable structure that provides a soft, bouncy surface enclosed by walls, while a trampoline is a frame with a stretched fabric mat that offers a firm bounce without walls. Bounce houses are safer for group play.
How many adults can fit in a bounce house?
Typically, a standard bounce house can accommodate 2-3 adults, depending on the size. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum occupancy and weight limits.
Can an adult jump in a bounce house?
Yes, adults can jump in a bounce house, but it's important to consider the weight limit and the size of the bounce house. Some inflatables are specifically designed for adult use.
Are bounce houses safe for adults?
When used according to guidelines, bounce houses are safe for adults. However, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding weight limits and occupancy.
Why does a bounce house have 2 holes?
A bounce house typically has two holes: one for inflation (connected to the blower) and one to allow air to escape. This design helps maintain the structure's stability.
How much weight do you need to hold down a bounce house?
The amount of weight needed depends on the size and design of the bounce house. Typically, stakes or sandbags are used to secure the bounce house, with larger inflatables requiring more anchoring.
Can a 2-year-old jump in a bounce house?
Yes, but with supervision. It's best to use a smaller, toddler-friendly bounce house and ensure that older kids aren’t jumping at the same time.
Is there a weight limit for a bounce house?
Yes, each bounce house has a specific weight limit, which varies by model. Always check the guidelines before use.
Why can't you wear shoes in a bounce house?
Shoes can cause damage to the bounce house and increase the risk of injury. Removing shoes ensures a safe and clean environment for everyone.
What size bouncy castle can adults use?
Larger bouncy castles, often 15x15 feet or bigger, are suitable for adult use. Always verify the specific weight limit and guidelines for adult use.
Can adults get on inflatable water slides?
Yes, many inflatable water slides are designed to accommodate adults. Always check the specific weight and occupancy limits.
Do bounce houses get moldy?
Bounce houses can get moldy if stored while damp. It’s important to dry them thoroughly before storage to prevent mold growth.
How cold is too cold for a bounce house?
Temperatures below 40°F are generally too cold for a bounce house, as the material can become brittle and less flexible.
How to keep a bounce house cool in the summer?
To keep a bounce house cool, set it up in a shaded area, use a canopy, or sprinkle water lightly on the surface (for non-electric parts). Always monitor the temperature inside the bounce house.
Should I put a tarp under my bounce house?
Yes, placing a tarp under the bounce house protects it from dirt, debris, and potential damage from sharp objects.
Can you leave a bounce house out overnight?
It’s not recommended to leave a bounce house out overnight due to potential weather changes, moisture, and security concerns.
Can you put soap in a bounce house?
Soap should not be used in a bounce house as it can make the surface slippery and unsafe.
Are bounce houses safe in the rain?
Bounce houses should not be used in the rain as the surface can become slippery, and the blower motor is not waterproof, posing electrical hazards.
