Hire and Operation Instructions for Inflatable equipment

The hire of inflatable equipment is entirely at the discretion of the supplier with regard to site suitability and weather conditions.

Delivery of the castle will included inflating the castle by electric blower. A petrol generator can be supplied on request - petrol is additional.

The company reserves the right to cancel a booking.

The safe operation is the responsibility of the hirer and Leisure Hire ltd can accept no liability for injuries sustained or any other loss, howsoever caused, in the absence of the negligence of Leisurehire ltd or its employees.

The Hirer must watch the activity on the equipment continuously, taking appropriate action to ensure the wellbeing and safety of all users, especially the smaller, more vulnerable participants.

If the equipment is to be used for a public gathering, party, etc. the Hirer must ensure that sufficient public liability insurance cover is acquired. Leisure Hire Ltd cannot be held responsible for any incidents which may occur during this time. 

A responsible person capable of exercising control over the users should supervise the equipment.

A responsible adult must stand on either side of the front of the castle and supervise play on the castle at all times.

The use of the equipment should be limited to those persons who, when standing on the bouncing surface are no taller than the castle walls.

The operating area at the front of the castle must be kept clear from onlookers and debris so that the operator has a clear field of vision so that users can mount and alight safely. If spectators are likely to become a problem in this respect, it may be necessary to erect some form of crowd control barrier.  The barrier should be at least 1m/40” high and be capable of withstanding people leaning or being pushed against it and erected at least 1.8m from a walled side and 3.5m from an open side.

When used outdoors, the inflatable must be anchored down using all of the points provided.  The anchor stake must be inserted through the hole in the anchor point and driven in flush with the ground.  The inflatable must not be set up in a wind higher than Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale.

Users MUST remove their footwear (except socks) and any other hard, sharp or dangerous objects from their person such as badges, purses, buckles etc. Spectacles are best removed.

DO NOT ALLOW rough horseplay or somersaults.

DO NOT ALLOW USERS to climb or hang on to the inflatable.  Should the walls become torn due to extreme pressure being exerted on the joint seams, Leisure Hire Ltd will charge the hirer any reasonable repair costs as the units are not manufactured to stand the stresses of adult use.

Larger more boisterous users should be separated from smaller, more timid ones.  The number of users at anyone time must be limited to allow each child enough room to play safely. Approximately 6 children on a 10ft or 12ft castle and approximately 10 children on a 15ft castle. It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure the equipment is not overloaded to the detriment of the users. 

No food, drink, cigarettes or party poppers are to be taken onto the castle. No silly string is to be sprayed inside the castle. The Hirer takes responsibility to ensure that there is no debris left in the castle at the end of the hire period.

We do not supply petrol for the generators and any petrol supplied will be charged at an additional cost. If the generator stops working during the time of hire we cannot return to fix it.

 Use of inflatable goods remain the property of Leisure Hire Ltd at all times.
