Inflatable structures
Inflatable structures.

Inflatables
Weather will always be an issue where inflatables are used outside.
Operators are expected to monitor the wind by more than just relying upon online weather app. Anemometers are not prohibitively expensive and provide a specific up to date localised measure.
Max. wind speed for any inflatable use38km/h (Force 5)
