How to Take Down Your Bounce House?

When the fun day comes to an end, it’s important to take down your bounce house properly to keep it in great shape for the next adventure. Following the right steps can make the process quick, safe, and stress-free.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to take down your bounce house like a pro:

1. Make Sure Everyone Is Out

Before doing anything else, check the bounce house carefully to make sure all kids have exited. Walk around and look inside every corner — safety first!

2. Turn Off the Blower

Once everyone is out, switch off the blower and disconnect it from the power source. Allow the air to start escaping naturally. This step begins the deflation process.

3. Open the Air Vents (Optional)

Some bounce houses have air vents. Open it completely to help the air escape faster. Gently press down on different parts of the structure to speed up deflation — avoid jumping or dragging to prevent damage.

4. Fold Carefully

Start by folding one side toward the center, then the other side, until it forms a long rectangular shape. Roll it tightly from one end, just like a sleeping bag, pushing out any remaining air as you go. Secure the rolled bounce house with straps or rope.

5. Store It in a Dry Place

Place the bounce house in its storage bag and keep it in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving it outdoors, as sunlight and moisture can shorten its lifespan.

6. Keep Accessories Organized

Don’t forget to pack away the blower, stakes, and repair kit together so everything is ready for the next setup!

Taking down your bounce house the right way keeps it safe, clean, and ready for the next playtime. With just a few extra minutes of care, your inflatable can bring joy to your family for years to come.
