Christmas inflatables set up properly in your garden - positioned, secured against wind, powered safely, and looking ace. The kids will love it.
### Go Big or Go Home
You've bought a giant inflatable snowman (or Santa, or reindeer, or all three). It's massive. It's going to look **brilliant** in the front garden. But now you've actually got to get it set up, stake it down, run power to it, and make sure it doesn't end up in the neighbour's hedge when the wind picks up.
Or... you could have someone else spend 45 minutes doing it properly while you stay warm inside.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Properly secured inflatables survive Devon winter weather. Badly secured ones deflate, blow over, or visit neighbouring gardens. Worth doing right.

Good to Know
> 🌬️ **Storm forecast?** Really high winds can damage even well-secured inflatables. I'll show you how to safely deflate and bring them in if needed. Better to protect your investment than find it in pieces. **Timer wanted?** I can set up a timer so your inflatable switches on at dusk and off at bedtime automatically. Saves electricity and wear on the fan. Just mention it when booking. **Takedown service?** I can come back in January and take everything down, pack it properly for storage. Much easier than fighting with a wet, muddy inflatable in the cold.
Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas inflatable setup in Dawlish
How do you secure inflatables so they don't blow away?
Guy ropes and proper ground stakes, positioned at the right angles. Devon gets windy - I stake them properly so your Santa isn't visiting next door's garden by morning. Also check the power cable is secured so it doesn't pull out in wind.
Do I need an outdoor socket?
Ideally yes - inflatables need constant power. If you haven't got an outdoor socket, I can run an extension through a window with a proper weatherproof connection point, but an outdoor socket is much better.
Can you set up multiple inflatables?
Yes - just be aware each one needs power, so you need enough sockets or a safe way to run multiple extensions. I'll work out the best arrangement and make sure nothing's overloaded or creating a trip hazard.
What if it gets windy after you've set it up?
Properly staked inflatables cope with normal Devon weather fine. Really high winds (proper storms), you might want to deflate and bring them in. I'll show you how to do that safely when I set it up.
How long does one inflatable take?
Single inflatable - usually 45 mins to an hour. That's positioning, staking, powering up, and adjusting. Multiple inflatables take a bit longer as each needs its own securing.
