What Happens If It Rains on the Day of Your Bouncy Castle Hire?

Rainy weather can affect the safety and setup of a bouncy castle hire, especially if the surface becomes slippery. While most inflatables are made from waterproof PVC, water can collect on the top and floor of the castle, making it unsafe for children to bounce and play. It can also make the inflatable heavier and harder to keep fully inflated during continuous rainfall.

Should You Use a Bouncy Castle in the Rain?

It’s best not to use a bouncy castle when it’s raining. Even light showers can make the surface slick, increasing the risk of falls and injuries. Most professional hire companies — including Carson’s Castles — follow strict safety guidelines and may advise you to pause use or temporarily deflate the inflatable if rain begins during your event.

Some inflatables can be covered with waterproof tarpaulins to protect them from short showers, but safety must always come first. Always check your hire agreement for weather policies and contact your provider if the forecast looks poor.
