Inflatable waterslides are great for providing entertainment in the warm summer months, but what about when the weather is cold? Thankfully, there are still ways to enjoy your inflatable waterslides during winter! Here are a few creative ideas you can use to make sure everyone can enjoy the slides all year long.
One way to keep enjoying your inflatable waterslide during the winter months is by using ball pit balls. These can be commonly found on many online retailers. Fill up your pool with these small balls and let kids have fun sliding away in a ball-filled wonderland! Not only does they provide hours of entertainment but are also soft and safe if anyone falls.
Another idea for an inflatable slide during colder months is to fill up the pool with blankets or foam squares instead of water. This creates a soft, warm surface that won’t freeze and keeps children safe from slipping on icy surfaces. You can even add some gymnastic mats under the pool if you want more layers of protection against falls!
If you do not have time for the above activities and have a slide with a removable pool, you still have plenty of opportunity for clean, dry fun! Simply remove the pool from the base of the slide and enjoy the fast paced entertainment! It’s also much easier to clean which makes it ideal for multiple uses over different days or weeks. Just make sure not to leave the inflatable on your grass for too long!
This is the perfect way to ring in the New Year! Have your guests jump up and down in an inflatable bounce house, believing that with each jump they take, they are growing taller! After their final leap of the night, present them with a celebratory toast to mark the beginning of a new year. Make sure to have plenty of ball pit balls filled inside so that everyone can enjoy a soft landing after each jump.
Bring on the music and let your guests show off their vocal skills in a one-of-a-kind karaoke night! If you’re feeling extra adventurous, add an inflatable bounce house. Get your crowd revved up for some awesome performances. Use it as a stage for singing duets or group choreography numbers. Remember, you don't need any professional equipment! Just plug your phone into a speaker and you're good to go!
Gather around an inflatable bounce house, turn down the lights, and pop some popcorn for a cozy movie night! Let your family watch their favorite films while jumping on the bouncy surface. Have pillow fights over 2023 goals or having contests between who can stay up longer. Don't forget to fill your bounce house with ball pit balls to create safer landings and even more fun!
Get ready to groove all night long with this ultra-fun party idea! Fill your inflatable bounce house with speakers, colorful lights and confetti cannons as you blast out upbeat tunes for friends and family alike. Let children boogie down while adults show off their best moves. No matter the age, everyone will love dancing around in an inflatable bouncer on New Year's Eve!
Step up your selfie game by setting up an Insta-worthy photo booth station inside your inflatable bounce house. Whether it's staying still for posed shots or making funny faces when caught midair, everyone will love capturing this special moment together! Give out props such as hats or glasses for people to use when posing for photos.

Owning a bounce house can be a good source of fun–and revenue. They can also be costly if not properly maintained. To keep the good times rolling (and the money coming in), you should inspect your bounce house regularly and repair it as needed. The most common thing to look for? Surface tears. Let’s take a look at some likely causes of tears and find out how to easily repair them.
Bounce houses can be exposed to a number of hazards: rough terrain, sharp objects, animals (and not just the wild kids jumping inside of them). Seams can also weaken and open over time. In fact, the more your bounce house is used, the more likely it is to become damaged at some point.
Spotting damage can be difficult, especially small tears. To inspect, inflate your bounce house and check the unit inside and out. It’s normal to hear some air escaping through the seams or out to the blower, so don’t rely solely on your ears when checking for leaks.
Instead, look for sections of your bounce house that don’t appear to be holding as much air. You can also trace a hand along surfaces to feel for excess air escaping where it shouldn’t be. If you’ve identified an area that’s deflating, but you still can’t find the tear, try using soapy water to check for bubbles.
Repairing small tears on your own can save you money in the long run. And most minor tears are pretty simple to fix. Here are a few different ways to fix leaks:
Although not a long-term solution, vinyl tape is great for small cuts and minor holes. Deflate your bounce house after you’ve identified the hole and clean the torn area with a damp cloth. Next, cut the appropriate size of tape you need and press it firmly over the tear. You might even consider setting something heavy on the tape to apply pressure for an extended amount of time.
Vinyl patches work similarly to vinyl tape, but they’re more durable and used for larger holes. Again, deflate the bounce house after identifying the tear, then clean the area with a damp cloth. Cut out a round or oval-shaped patch that’s larger than the hole (avoid cutting a square, as the corners may come up easily). Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back side of the patch and to the area around the hole. Firmly press and hold the patch over the hole (you can do the weight trick here as well).
If your bounce house has a damaged seam, you can repair it with a sewing awl. This method is slightly advanced, but it’s a professional-grade fix that will last a long while. If you’ve never used a sewing awl, you can find videos and tutorials online to help.
Sometimes damage to your bounce house is too big for a DIY approach. At this point, it may be worth it to visit a local repair shop. And if the bounce house has lasted through many seasons, it may just be time to get a new one.
Updating a bounce house–or adding a new one to your inventory–helps you stay the life of the party. Inflatable combo units like this can engage active kids in several ways beyond simply jumping up and down. Need more splash for your buck? This dual slide combo with pool keeps families happy and cool during long summer days.

Use a vinyl patch kit or heavy-duty repair tape, apply adhesive, and let it fully dry before inflating again.
Check for loose stitching or small holes. If needed, apply vinyl adhesive and reinforce with stitching or a patch.
Duct tape can work as a short-term fix, but for a durable repair, use vinyl repair tape or an adhesive patch.
It’s best to inspect after every use to catch minor issues early and prevent them from becoming bigger problems.
Always clean and dry it completely, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry area away from sharp objects and extreme temperatures.

Have you ever had thoughts of buying a bounce house inflatable instead of renting one? How much a bounce house costs may be the first thing that comes to mind, but there are also a number of other important factors that you may want to consider when making your decision.
With the average rental price of bounce house inflatables across the US ranging from $300 to $800 for an 8-hour rental depending on the size and type of the rental, buying a bounce house would be a worthwhile investment in the long term. This price range also doesn’t factor in possible delivery, setup, and cleanup fees that most rental companies would charge every time. Our rental-grade bounce houses currently start at $998 while our slides and combo units, such as the Tropical Breeze Bounce House And Single Slide With Pool, currently start at $1298. The low-end price range of rental inflatables usually only provide classic bouncers that have a small 13 ft by 13 ft single jumping area, mesh walls, and no roof. That means that if you were to rent one of these inflatables 5 times annually, you would have already spent more than if you were to invest in an inflatable bounce house made of high-quality commercial-grade PVC vinyl that you could use for years on end.
The amount of time it takes to set up, take down, and clean an inflatable is a major factor that you may be considering. With easy-to-follow instructions, setting up your own inflatables should be a simple and stress-free process and could easily be completed by yourself. Meanwhile, hiring a rental company would require a period of waiting time. There would also be certain busier seasons where it would be very difficult to reserve a spot.
When buying a bounce house inflatable, you could also think of renting it out to your friends, family, or neighbors for some profit or return on your investment. Renting out your bounce house just a few times would return the amount of money you initially invested. Our inflatables are 40% lighter than rental grade bounce houses without sacrificing quality, which makes them easy to transport with no more than 2 people needed. They are also effortless to deflate and roll up into a compact bundle that could easily fit in your preferred vehicle.
It is very difficult to guarantee the cleanliness of the produts that rental companies provide as these inflatables are consistently being used by dozens of kids every year. Many times, there is a cleaning fee that must be paid even if you don’t know exactly how thoroughly these bounce houses are being cleaned. Owning your own bounce house provides the advantage of knowing exactly how clean and safe the jumping environment for your child is. Our water-repellent vinyl material is also easy to clean and sanitize at any time.
Owning your own bounce house and water slide inflatables mean that your children would be able to go for a jump session whenever they want. Most of the time, inflatable rental companies only allow up to 8 hours of play time, so if your kids wanted to jump for more hours or even days, you would have to rent the same inflatable over and over again. Owning one would allow you to pull it out for any parties you are holding and would surely become the main attraction at every event.
With a bounce house so easily accessible to your kids, they would be more likely to take breaks from the screen and spend more time outside getting exercise instead of jumping all over the house. It would also allow you to spend some quality time with your kids as our bounce houses are fit for both adults and children. Renting an inflatable would only allow for play during special occasions and events, which limits the usability of the product. Why limit the jumps if you can get endless enjoyment and entertainment?
