Wind Safety Guidance for Bouncy Castle & Inflatable Hire in Rugby
At Rugby Inflatables, your safety is our top priority. As a trusted provider of bouncy castle hire in Rugby and surrounding areas, we strictly follow guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Whether you’re hiring a bouncy castle or two, we ensure everything is used safely, responsibly, and in full compliance with UK safety standards.
👉 With every outdoor inflatable hire, we provide both a wind safety guidance document and a professional anemometer, giving you everything needed to monitor conditions safely.
Safe Wind Speed Limits for Inflatables
For safe outdoor bouncy castle hire, wind conditions must always be considered:
- Maximum safe wind speed: 24 mph (38 km/h)
- Equivalent to Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale (small trees begin to sway)
Some inflatables may have lower operating limits depending on size and type.
👉 Always follow the safety instructions provided with your inflatable hire.
Wind Monitoring – Included With Every Hire
We go further than most by providing:
✔️ A Wind Safety Guidance Sheet
✔️ A professional anemometer (wind speed meter)
✔️ A full demonstration on setup and safe use
✔️ Clear instructions for monitoring and recording wind speeds
