I plan on leaving this in our yard. When deflated, what type of cover do you recommend I place over the bouncer? It gets really windy where we live.

I just lie a tarp over mine, if it is windy I suggest you do that and maybe use stakes or something on the corners so the tarp doesn't blow, but take your blower inside, because if it rains or is windy water/dirt can get inside your blower

It's heavy weight plastic but the wind would worry me. It comes able to stake it to ground I think but you'll need to come up with something to protect it from weather I would assume. Weighted tarp?

Friends: * It does not come with a fabric cover...... * Btw, it is too light to stay in place in strong winds even thought it comes with a weight to hold it down. After the first time it blew off our outdoor deck I bolted it to the wooden outdoor deck with two landscape screws...... I opened the front door and used a piece of 6" x 1' scrap lumber to distribute the force. The two landscape screws go through the scrap lumber then through the bottom of the grill then into our wooden deck. We are using the grill outdoors at our Ranch in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado with seasonal Chinook winds. You can Google my name to learn more..... Arthur von Boennighausen

We did purchase some longer stakes and a mallet, which was helpful for one high wind day. If you look close at the photo, you'll see 4 built-in 'sand bag' pockets (2 in the back and 1 on each side). We were rather amused at ourselves for not initially realizing their purpose. Filling those with sand was very beneficial in managing the shelter under windy conditions, provided you have reasonable expectations of what constitutes "windy" (LOL!).

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.

I wouldn't suggest it. Kids will be kids and fall all over the bouncer. Falling on the grass outside is a lot nicer than falling on furniture/wood flooring inside. Plus the fan is going to be pretty load. In this weather let them keep their shoes on and use it outside. Hope that helps.

The cover that comes with it goes around it when umbrella not in place. The cover is pretty flimsy- ours had a small tear in it within about a month so we leave uncovered at this point & we live on a lake in the south so it's very exposed to the elements & holding up ok. I still love this lounger for the price we paid after pricing MANY others - inexpensive in comparison.

First, to answer your question about distance - you need to check for any local rules about distance, but I will say there is not a way to place is flat against the house. This is meant to be anchored into the ground. It is a durable white plastic-like material that would fly away in any kind of wind if it was not properly anchored into the ground. PS: We love ours and everyone is fascinated with it! Our pergola as withstood winds that took down trees and picked up a trampoline that ended up in a small pond in our neighborhood!

No, and you do not want that in a solar cover. Get it large enough to fit to the very edge (trim if it you must) and if there is any overhang, flip it under, inside the pool. Lofting it over the edge means it can blow away, and reduces the warming power. The better it fits to the edge of the pool, the less movement and less debris. FURTHER I used one of those drawstring things. OKAY they don't work to keep debris out, for sure. If it rains, then you have 200 pounds of water in the center, no way can you get the thing off without dropping most of the debris. It cannot be pulled off with the water in it, and to drop that water in the pool means SCUZZ. Solar covers work 100 times better for debris, they can be lifted up, and debris simply blows off.

We have had the same issue with our cover. Our Performer sits on an elevated deck and we're on the eastern end of a pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains. In winter, with no leaves on the trees, the wind blows strongly through the pass and has blown our cover off several times. I've put two grommets in mine and used bungee cords to secure the cover. No problems since.

Are you looking for a cover to place over it for storage, or a cover to keep it out of the elements so you can use it outside during nasty weather? There is a thing called a GenTent that supposedly allows you to use it during a storm. I debated getting one of the GenTents but didn't because we have decided to get rid of our Generac GP5939. (I was never comfortable with the GP5939, and we ended up having a whole-house 20kw automatic generator installed a couple of months ago). But here is the Amazon link for the GenTent information in case you want to look into it: http://www.amazon.com/GenTent-weather-safety-portable-generators/dp/B0088EVIR4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382283399&sr=8-1&keywords=gentent

I had the exact same problem after the party for the children the bounce house was not as firm. I have thought about using maybe some sort of a adheice spray or sealant to seal the to seams.

It isn't necessary bu we do have an old tarp that we put under our bouncer. I would definitely recommend putting a tarp underneath if it will be on concrete.

There isn't anything to attach the cover to. You could put Velcro on the edge of a tarp and the sides of the pool, maybe. You could just lay a tarp on top, but the wind would blow it off.

This was a gift to our daughter. She has set her shelter up on her back patio for the same reason you are contemplating. She has not complained about it blowing away. I'll check the next time I talk with her.
