Question 3

Q: What type of surface is suitable for setting up a bouncy castle rented from Funtime Leisure?

Accepted Answer

A: At Funtime Leisure, we recommend setting up our bouncy castle hire on flat, soft surfaces such as grass or turf to ensure maximum safety and stability. These surfaces provide natural cushioning, minimizing the risk of injury and protect the equipment from damage. While hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt are generally not suitable unless protective mats are used, we can advise on appropriate safety measures if installation on such surfaces is necessary. Please be aware due to the weight required to anchor a castle on a hard surface outdoors, an additional charge may be payable. Proper surface selection is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience, and our team is available to provide guidance tailored to your venue.

Question 7

Q: Who is eligible to use the bouncy castles from Funtime Leisure, and what are the age, height, and weight restrictions?

Accepted Answer

A: At Funtime Leisure, our equipment is designed primarily for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years old. Users must not exceed a height of 5 feet (152 cm) or a weight limit of 70 kilograms (154 pounds) to ensure safety and optimal performance. We recommend adult supervision at all times and advise that only one age group use the castle at a time to prevent injury. These restrictions help maintain the durability of the equipment and provide a safe, enjoyable experience for all users. Additionally, we have some equipment that adults can use, such as adult bouncy castles, a rodeo bull, and a gladiator duel.

Question 8

Q: Do I need a power supply to use a bouncy castle hired from Funtime Leisure? Can I hire a generator if required?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, a continuous power supply is essential to operate the blower that keeps the bouncy castle inflated throughout your event. At Funtime Leisure, we ensure that the equipment provided requires a standard domestic power outlet, and we recommend having access to an outdoor power source or a good quality extension lead if the castle is set up away from indoor outlets. Without a reliable power supply, the bouncy castle cannot maintain its shape, so it's important to confirm that you have suitable electrical access before your booking day. Our team can offer guidance on power requirements to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your event. If a power supply is not readily available, you can hire a generator to meet the requirements for keeping the bouncy castle operational.

Question 9

Q: Do I need to pay a deposit to book a bouncy castle or equipment with Funtime Leisure, and what is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, to secure your booking with Funtime Leisure, we require a deposit at the time of reservation. This helps us guarantee your chosen date and bouncy castle, equipment hire, ensuring everything is ready for your special event. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair and flexible: if you cancel more than 14 days before the scheduled hire, your deposit will be fully refunded. For cancellations made within 14 days of the event, the deposit is non-refundable, as preparations and scheduling commitments have already been made impacting our ability to hire your arranged equipment out again, however, because we understand unforeseen circumstances can arise, you can use this deposit towards booking any of our hire equipment within 1 year of your original scheduled date.  We strive to be flexible and understanding, whilst ensuring we operate effectively. Our priority is always to help make your event a fun and stress-free experience! We’re committed to making your experience smooth and enjoyable, so if you have any questions or need assistance with your booking, our friendly team is here to help every step of the way!

Question 12

Q: What are the access requirements for the hire equipment at Funtime Leisure?

Accepted Answer

A: At Funtime Leisure, we want your event to be as fun and hassle-free as possible! To ensure smooth delivery and setup, the hire equipment requires clear, unobstructed access to your chosen location. Our team needs a minimum width of 1 meter for most equipment and a height clearance of at least 2 meters to safely transport and set up the bouncy castles. Ideally, the access path should be flat and firm—gravel or paved surfaces work best—to allow our equipment trolleys and vehicles easy passage. If your event is indoors or in a garden, please ensure gates, doorways, or pathways meet these measurements and are free from clutter or parked cars. Providing this access helps us deliver a safe and exciting experience on time, so your party can bounce into the fun without a hitch! If required, we can move equipment through houses to gardens, however we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused as a result.
