Custom Inflatables for School and Campus Events
Sports days, open days, graduations and orientation weeks put inflatables in front of mixed-age crowds, often installed by grounds staff or volunteers, on grounds the estates office controls. The display is usually bought once and brought out every year, so storage matters as much as the event.

Installation
Installation window and crew.
Crew needed
2–3 people
Installation is often done by grounds staff, teachers or student volunteers on the morning of the event. Setup has to be simple and written down, because the people doing it next year may not be the people doing it this year.
After the event it is deflated, folded and stored until the next one, often in whatever space the school has.
Fixing and wind
Fixing requirements specific to school and campus events.
Synthetic turf and running tracks usually do not allow ground stakes; grass pitches may. The grounds manager decides, and should be asked before ordering.
Keep displays clear of goalposts, paths, running lanes and spectator areas.
Advertising inflatables are display structures, not play equipment. Plan supervision so children do not climb, hang on or slide off them.
Irrigated fields may have sprinkler heads just under the surface at stake positions.
Wind and weather: No fixed wind speed is published. Do not operate in strong winds, storms or severe weather; a site-specific anchoring plan and operator supervision are required. Fence off blowers, cables, guy ropes and ballast, and do not let children climb: advertising inflatables are not play equipment.
Common failure points
How these projects usually go wrong.
It is treated as play equipment. Children climb an arch or mascot that was never designed to take a person's weight.
Stakes go into a synthetic pitch or through a sprinkler line, and the school receives a repair bill.
A volunteer team folds it wet on the grass after the event, and it stays in a storage cupboard until next year.
The mascot is approved from a flat logo. The three-dimensional version looks wrong from the side, and students notice at once.

FAQ
Questions about inflatables for school and campus events.
They are display structures, not play equipment. Place them away from play areas and supervise so children do not climb or hang on them.
Grass pitches may allow it; synthetic turf and running tracks usually do not. Ask the grounds manager, and check for sprinkler lines on irrigated fields.
Yes. Send the mascot artwork and any existing views from the front and side, so the three-dimensional shape can be approved before production rather than guessed from a flat logo.
Clean and dry completely before folding, then store somewhere dry. Folding it damp after an event on grass is the most common cause of mildew.
