For inflatables under 9-feet tall, install at least three upper tie downs. For inflatables
over 10-feet tall, you will need to install four or more upper tie downs, depending on the
inflatable.
Attach each rope to a clip and attach the clip onto the upper fabric or metal loops. (If clips
are not included, tie each rope to directly to the loop.) Tie the ropes to
the additional ground stakes and secure the stakes about 2/3 of the way into the ground
(you will insert these fully later).
The angle of the rope to the ground should be 45 degrees (see diagram above). To achieve
a 45-degree angle, the stake distance (SD) from the inflatable should be roughly equal to
the loop height (LH) on the inflatable.
To properly secure your inflatable, install the upper tie downs according to the above
graphic. Note that two of the side tie downs must angle forward by at least 30 degrees.
Adjust stakes as needed to assure that the inflatable is fully upright and positioned
correctly. When the inflatable is correctly positioned and all stakes have been placed, push
all of the stakes fully into the ground.
To achieve a proper 45º Angle,
Stake Distance (SD) = Loop
Height (LH)
For example, if the Loop Height
(LH) is 6’,
the stake should be placed 6’
away from the inflatable
