Choosing a bouncy castle is not only about its theme or photograph. To receive a suitable option and a final quote, you need to confirm the available space, ages, number of participants, access and setup conditions.
This guide lists the information to prepare before requesting availability for a party at a home, villa, school, hotel or event venue in the Algarve.
1. Start with five essential details
- Event date and time;
- Town and postcode;
- Venue type: indoors or outdoors, home, villa or event venue;
- Ages and approximate number of participants;
- Usable area, measured in length and width.
These details make it easier to rule out unsuitable equipment and confirm an option that is actually available.
2. Check dimensions, capacity and ages
Use the dimensions and capacity shown on each equipment page. Measure a clear, level area, but do not rely only on the inflatable dimensions: JumPlay must also confirm the space required for setup, anchoring and safe circulation.
Compare options in the catalogue with equipment, dimensions and prices. A compact bouncy castle and a large inflatable slide serve different needs.
3. Describe the surface, access and power supply
Tell us whether the surface is grass, soil, paving or another material. Mention stairs, narrow gates, corridors, the distance from unloading to the setup area and any other access restriction.
Power requirements depend on the equipment. Before booking, confirm the required socket and distance. If an item uses water or has another requirement, it should be stated in the quote.
4. Agree in advance what happens in wind or rain
Outdoor use depends on the weather and the safety rules for the equipment. Wind, rain or an unsuitable surface may prevent setup or use. With JumPlay, the booking can be cancelled up to the start of setup; if the weather is uncertain, contact us before travel so we can confirm the safest decision.
5. Compare the final price, not only the equipment price
Check whether the quote includes the equipment, delivery, setup and collection. Location, duration, access, a required supervisor and other logistics may change the final price. Always request confirmation for the event date and postcode.
6. Assess trust through verifiable information
- Recent, real photographs of the equipment;
- Clear dimensions, ages and capacity;
- Rules for use and supervision;
- An explanation of setup, anchoring, inspection and cleaning;
- Clear prices and conditions;
- Telephone, email and verifiable public reviews.
