@kjady I’ve seen footage of others blowing away too - one was rolling through a golf course. I guess you can’t put sand in the bottom of them? And your house must be fun to have in the neighborhood.
@Kyeh Some have that option but most won’t due to the risk of tearing on the wond. The main issue is not using proper stakes. We use tent stakes instead of the flimsy wire ones. I assume the ropes tore or the stakes weren’t up to the job.
If used correctly, they’re fine and can be a good addition to a display. Too many people use them in lieu of a display or just throw as many as possible in whatever space is available with no thought to anything else. A lot of my friends (oddly, both some who shoot guns and some who don’t but design things) claim inflatables are best used for target practice.
Seems like it would be a great way to capture and sequester Carbon Dioxide.
Trouble is, it then gets released after the holiday season, when there is so much hot air anyway.
There needs to be a “Meh” option.
@Pony What I came to say!
It’s to windy around here
Nothing says “lazy people inside” than inflatables outside.
Saves room when storing. Know anything else similar?
@PriusRam Exactly!
Our lawn last christmas:
@kjady That’s so pretty!
@kjady Love it!

@Kyeh This is great. We had a 15’ pumpkin this year. Thankfully it remained staked down.

I have a Love/ Hate relationship with them!
@mycya4me I understand this completely.
