Can you leave this bounce house outside for long periods of time (deflated, of course) or do you have to roll it up and put it away after each use?

I wouldn't recommend leaving it out for long periods of time, maybe no more then a week. If I know that the kids aren't going to be on it I'll roll it up right after they're done to keep from being lazy about doing it that works for me!

I would recommend putting it away each time, unless maybe it was in a garage or something similar. Leaving it outside could potentially leave it open to damage, perforation, or excess wear (or theft!)

Aside from it killing your grass if you leave it out on the lawn anything left outside all the time will wear out faster. Can you leave it out? Yes. Will that drastically shorten the lifespan of the bounce house? Yes

It's pretty durable but I would NOT leave it outside. It actually doesn't take long at all to roll back up. We use it in the house and the only time I took it outside I put a tarp down.

It is for indoor and outdoor use. We set it up in the great room and left it there for a few weeks this winter. This summer we set it up in the back yard for my son's 7th bday party. Six boys bounced and jumps and had a great time. Aunt and mom bounced when the kids were done for a great workout!! We set it up outside on a tarp to keep it clean. It is spacious and sturdy. I would definitely buy this bounce house again.

Yes, the blower remains on the whole time the bouncer is in use. It is also important to know that the tube connecting the blower and the bouncer requires about 6 feet of space in addition to the footprint measurements that are given for the bouncer. The tube must extend fully for the air to flow properly.

You can roll it as hard as you want without damaging it. It will expand back to its original shape. I have travelled with it lots of times rolled up and it always gets back to its normal shape.

Yes. The blower has to be on. As soon as you turn it off it will deflate. Do not let the children inside the bouncer when you turn off the blower. It is fun , I bought one for my daughter and the second for my nieces. It is small a little.

hi i don't know i put my bounce in storage. i read a warning on the cord saying that the cord may have lead in it and if you are pregnant or a young child wash your hands because of side effects from the lead. so i just stopped using mine.

I personally leave mine up, but it is on my lanai and under the roof overhang. I use a high-quality thick mat to practice making contact with all of the clubs. As I live in Southwest Florida, it probably wouldn't survive outside all of the time with the late summer daily thunder storms, direct sun, alternate dry and wet seasons, and occasional tropical storm. However, being outside under the roof has worked fine and I've noticed no deterioration except the target where the balls give it a working-over.

No not really, it does store away better than a play yard. We have kept ours up the entire time it was used, there are probably better items if you are looking for portable. It would be the equivalent of taking another large suitcase

Yes it can but not permanently. I put it up for my son outside all of the time but take it down in the evening after we're done playing for the day. The material is very thin so I don't suggest having anything sharp such as sticks around it or it will rip. It's also super lightweight so it will blow across your yard on a breezy day, so try to find a way to anchor it down, maybe something heavy in the corners inside, or anchors from a camping tent might work.

It's cardboard so if it's outside any moisture, even dew, will be a problem. I think it could be folded over and over a lot. If you do use it outdoors, do it once the dew has evaporated and bring it in before dew begins to collect again in the evening.

No I didn't. It stays inflated if there are not any wholes... The plastic material looks so strong but I had two of those that didn't last more than 3 months. Although my kids had a lot of fun it was such a waste of money.

place it on a carpet or something to keep it open. i use it when i play bingo and its on carpet no problem.

No Problem. I keep it inflated for 5 or 6 weeks on location. Just need to refill it a bit sometimes. Make sure you do not inflate it to much.

Foam is not going to give you the bounce you need to play. My kids love this toy, it has lasted 2 years plus (not my walls).

I can confirm that the top portion will get ripped if you leave it... mine is torn after 5months in the backyard. But you really have not choice but to leave it on the trampoline (hard to remove time to time). So better to plan accordingly.Additional note: the cover on my trampoline was torn after 5 months. I reached out to the seller (manufacturer) and they shipped a new one. Which was very nice of them. So far it's holding up well without any issue.

You can roll it back and leave it open if you want, but there is enough material on the ends that you can close it - not enough material to bury the ends, but enough so that I can put rocks on it to close it off. In case of high winds, I also put a couple of rocks along the sides so they don't tip over. We have a lot of rocks in CT.

It stays inflated. It doesn't come with a pump though so you will need that also. And don't overfill it because ours ripped at the seams and is not fixable
