Christmas Inflatables in Outdoor Christmas Decorations

How do I fix my inflatable decoration if it gets a puncture?

First, you need to identify where the hole is, which can be done by using your hand to feel where the air is coming from or following the hissing sound. Once you have the hole, clean it and prepare a repair patch. The patch should cover the whole area. It doesn’t matter if it’s too big. Secure the patch by pressing down firmly. Now your inflatable is ready to be pumped back up.

How do I secure my large inflatable to the ground?

Most inflatable Christmas decorations will come with tethers and stakes to secure them to the ground. This is important, especially if it is particularly large. If your inflatable does not come with these, you will need to purchase them separately to stop your inflatable from blowing away. For windy forecasts and larger models, you may want to purchase additional tether lines.

Can I leave my inflatable decorations inflated day and night?

Many inflatables involve a motor to keep them pumped up, and it’s not advised to leave these on for longer than 8 hours at a time. Consider unplugging them at night. For smaller models that are not powered by a motor, consider taking them down in stormy or windy weather to avoid damage or losing them.
