QUICK AND EASY SETUP
Waterproof inflatables are easy to setup
Pump them up, seal the valve and they're ready. Fully waterproof, so they work just as well floating on water as hanging indoors.

How to set up and pack away your waterproof inflatables
Pump up, seal and display. Five steps from unpacking to putting them away ready for next time.
01
Unpack and check
Take everything out and lay the balls flat with the pump to hand. Check the valve on each one before you start inflating.
- Work on a clean surface to protect the gloss finish
- Keep the packaging for storing them afterwards
- Check your pump has the right plug if it's electric
02
Inflate
Attach the pump and inflate each ball until it holds a smooth, round shape. Don't over-inflate, as they hold their form best slightly short of full.
- Inflate on the day where possible, not weeks ahead
- Stop when it's firm and round, not straining
- Larger sizes take longer, so allow time for a full cluster
03
Seal the valve
Close the locking valve fully once inflated. This is what keeps them holding air for up to seven days with no power source needed.
- Press the valve in firmly until it seats
- Check each one rather than assuming
- Top up any that have softened before guests arrive
04
Hang or float
Use the D-rings to hang them from ceilings, truss or outdoor rigs, or simply place them on water. Invisible string gives the floating effect for suspended displays.
- Use more than one D-ring for larger balls
- Vary the heights for a fuller overhead display
- On water, check they can't drift somewhere they'll be lost
05
Deflate and pack away
Release the valve, press the air out, and pack them flat once completely dry.
- Always pack away dry to protect the finish
- Store flat rather than folded tightly
- Keep them away from sharp objects
Care & safety information
Indoor & outdoor usage
Fully waterproof, so these work in gardens, poolside, marquees, halls and open outdoor setups. There's no mains power or cabling involved, which means no restrictions on where they go and nothing to keep dry.
- Suitable for open outdoor use, unlike our LED range
- Safe to float on pools and water features
- Secure them properly outdoors so they can't blow away
- Rinse off and dry before packing away if they've been in a pool
Are inflatables fire retardant?
Our balls aren't flame-proofed as standard. For indoor events that need fire safety compliance, we recommend buying synthetic fire retardant spray online and applying it before use. Always check your venue's specific fire safety regulations first.
Please note we aren't liable for damage, accidents or issues resulting from fire exposure, untreated materials or third-party fire retardant products.
- Check your venue's requirements before you order
- Apply before your event, following the product instructions
Event grade materials
Made from soft, waterproof PVC that stays durable in outdoor weather and holds a smooth round form once inflated. The finish is built to hold its shape and gloss through transport, setup and long event days.
- Built for repeat use across multiple events
- Avoid dragging across rough ground
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth if needed
How to store safely
Deflate fully, make sure they're completely dry, and store them flat somewhere cool and dry. They're made to be deflated, stored and redeployed whenever the next event calls.
- Always pack away dry
- Store flat, away from anything sharp
- Keep them out of direct sunlight in storage
