Inflatable Outdoor Halloween Decorations Buyer’s Guide

Inflatable yard decorations, or yard inflatables, are gaining in popularity every year. Homeowners find them fast and easy to put up compared to the old agonizing hours spent trying to lay out fake spider web over the bushes. Investing in an inflatable can also pay off if you store it safely and you use it year over year. Storage is easy with a simple cleaning and a large plastic storage bin letting you put it in the attic or the garage between seasons. How much electricity do inflatables uses? A lot of homeowners want to be ecological and economical when planning decorations. Don’t worry. The standard inflatable is going to only use about 25kw in the entire season and increase your electric bill by $2 or $3. Inflatable outdoor holiday yard decorations come in all shapes and sizes. Start the process by understanding your front yard and porch space available to decorate. Take careful measurements of the space and remember to leave room for trick or treaters. Know the limitations of your space but also have fun filling it up with amazing 8 foot tall inflatables that bring your yard to life.

What to Look For When Shopping for an Inflatable halloween decoration

Before you go shopping for a Halloween decoration, you’ll want to keep a few things in mind. Below are some important aspects to consider to ensure you invest in the right decorations for your needs.

Self Inflatable

The best inflatable halloween decorations come with their own internal blower so that setting them up and keeping them inflated is easy. Save your breath with these blow up decorations. This is especially helpful when you want to keep the decorations up in your yard overnight. Consider pairing them with an electrical outlet timer so that they turn off before morning. The best blow up models will also offer long extended cords so that they can reach electrical plug ins easy without the need for an extension cord.

Easy to Install

A tall inflatable is going to need sandbags to weigh it down and staked ropes to keep it aligned. The best inflatables come with these supplies and even include internal sandbag areas where homeowners can easily add weight. Try to find inflatables that include plastic or metal landscape spikes and rope to tie the decoration down. Some of these fun decorations can act like sails when the wind is blowing and you do not want to find your decoration down the street.

Multi Season

Buyer beware because cheap versions of inflatables are everywhere but saving a few bucks just means your inflatable won’t last. The plastic can take it but how about the blower motor and electrical cords and lights? These components will fail fast if not built to last. The best way to find a durable product is to check the product reviews and make sure that homeowners are happy with what they bought. A great advantage of these inflatables is they are lightweight and store easy.
