Frequently asked questions
We know hard it can be to organise an event. Here are some tips and answers to all the questions you might have in regards to hiring some of our amusements. Feel free to contact us for more info.
What access do you need?
Access is one of the most commonly overlooked, yet critical, details when planning an event with large inflatable equipment.
Our team needs to safely transport and set up units that can weigh over 200kg, so clear, direct access to the setup area is essential.
Whenever possible, we prefer to drive directly onto ovals or close to the setup location to unload equipment with minimal manual handling. The more information you can provide in advance, the smoother the process will be.
Details like terrain (e.g. grass slopes, gravel, uneven ground), obstacles, or distance from parking to setup area help us prepare accordingly. If available, site maps or layout plans are also incredibly useful to position inflatables based on space and power access.
Clear site access ensures a faster, safer setup, and a stress-free experience for everyone involved.
How does staffing and transport work for event hire?
Inflatables and amusement equipment require significant space when packed, and our experienced team members typically arrive onsite in a ute, truck, or van, depending on the size of your hire. These vehicles have limited seating, which means only a small number of staff can travel together.
If you require trained staff to supervise or operate equipment during your event, we can provide professional operators at a rate of $90 per hour, per staff member. Please note that additional staff may require a second vehicle, which can affect logistics and costs.
To maximise value, if a second vehicle is already needed, you may wish to consider adding more equipment to your package. We’re always happy to tailor a competitive offer to suit your needs.
Of course, we completely understand if you’re working within a set budget or plan to use your own volunteers to help on the day — this can be a great way to keep costs down while still delivering a fantastic event.
What’s needed for a smooth setup and pack-down?
To ensure a seamless setup and pack-down, we kindly ask that the following essentials are organised and ready prior to our arrival:
Electricity access (or confirmed generator requirements)
Vehicle and site access permissions
A designated onsite contact person
A site layout or map indicating setup locations and power points
Our team will arrive on site with enough time to complete the setup before your event begins. However, if these elements are not arranged in advance, it can cause delays and may impact our ability to have everything ready on time.
Advance planning ensures your event kicks off smoothly, and gives everyone peace of mind on the day.
Do we need power to use a jumping castle?
Yes, power is required at all times to operate our inflatables. Each unit relies on a continuous flow of air from an electric blower to stay fully inflated throughout your event.
If power access is limited at your site, we can also provide generator hire as part of your booking — just let us know during the enquiry process.
What type of power is required?
All our inflatables can be used with power coming from a standard powerpoint outlet (10Amp).
Can an inflatable be set up on a slope?
Inflatables must be installed on a flat and level surface to ensure safety and proper operation.
Depending on the ground type, our team will secure the equipment using pegs (for grassed areas), sandbags, or water drums (for hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt). We’ll assess your site requirements during booking to ensure the safest and most suitable setup method is used.
How can we set up an inflatable on bitumen/ hard surface?
Yes, we can safely set up inflatables on bitumen, concrete, or other hard surfaces using sandbags or water drums for stability — especially for larger units.
However, pegging into the ground (on grass or soil) is always the preferred method for maximum safety and security. If your site has a hard surface, please let us know in advance so we can bring the appropriate anchoring equipment.
How many people can go on the jumping castle?
Each of our inflatables has a recommended maximum number of participants allowed at one time, based on size, design, and safety standards. You can find these details listed in the product specifications on our website.
Our team will also walk you through the safety procedures and usage guidelines during setup, ensuring you’re fully informed before the event begins.
Safety is our top priority, and we’re here to make sure your event runs smoothly and responsibly.
How much space is required?
Each inflatable has specific space and clearance requirements, which are listed in the product specifications on our website.
To ensure safe and functional setup, we require at least 1 metre of additional clearance around the entire unit. This allows room for the blower, access points, and safe entry/exit for participants.
What happens if it's raining?
We understand that weather can be unpredictable, especially for outdoor events. You’ll have the option to cancel your booking up to 24 hours prior to your event if the forecast looks unfavourable.
Some inflatables can still operate in light rain; however, our team will always prioritise safety first. If conditions become unsafe during your event, due to heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, our staff may temporarily shut down or deflate the equipment for everyone’s safety.
We’ll work with you to make the best decision based on the forecast and conditions on the day.
What if I need to cancel the booking or change it?
Cancellations are only accepted in the case of bad weather and must be made at least 24 hours prior to your event.
If you need to cancel due to weather, we offer the option to postpone your event to another date, subject to equipment availability.
Please note that cancellations for any other reason will not be eligible for a refund.
We appreciate your understanding as this helps us manage scheduling and equipment logistics fairly for all clients.
What is required from volunteers?
Yes, volunteers can assist with supervision, depending on the type of equipment booked. Our team will advise you on whether supervision support is required and what’s suitable for your event.
If you are providing your own volunteers, please ensure they are:
Present and actively supervising for the entire duration of the event
Briefed on safety guidelines provided during setup
For safety reasons, any inflatable left unsupervised may be shut down immediately by our staff.
Additionally, please note:
No shoes, food, or drinks are permitted on any inflatable at any time.
Do I need to have an operator on-site during the event?
We always recommend having trained operators on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. However, some inflatable units are suitable for self-supervision and do not require one of our operators to be present throughout the event.
To help reduce costs, you also have the option to provide volunteers who can assist with supervision. Our team will guide you on what’s required based on the equipment you book.
Safety remains our top priority, and we’ll make sure you’re fully briefed on procedures if you’re managing supervision yourself.
Do I need power to run Water Slides and Water Products?
Yes, most of our inflatables require power, including all water slides, which rely on electric blowers to remain inflated and operate safely.
Some larger units may require more than one power point to run efficiently.
Please refer to the product specifications on our website to check the exact power requirements for the equipment you’ve booked.
If power access is limited at your site, we also offer generator hire, just let us know during the booking process.

Safety remains our top priority, and we’ll make sure you’re fully briefed on procedures if you’re managing supervision yourself.
Do I require water on site?
Yes, access to at least one standard tap on site is required to operate our water slides.
Depending on the equipment booked, we may need access to multiple taps to run everything efficiently. Our team will advise you on the exact number of taps needed based on your booking.
We’ll bring all necessary hoses and connectors on the day to set up each inflatable, all we ask is that water access is ready and available when we arrive.
What if I don't have water on site?
If water access isn’t available on site, we can arrange a water truck delivery to ensure your water-based inflatables still run smoothly.
Just let us know during the booking process, and we’ll provide options and pricing to suit your event needs. We’re happy to help you find a solution that keeps the fun flowing!

All Monsterball staff hold a valid Working with Children Check and are trained in safe operation procedures.
