1. Material Selection: Durable PVC Tarpaulin. The material you choose is critical to the slide’s longevity and performance. While most giant inflatable slides are made from PVC tarpaulin, the quality can vary significantly between suppliers. Some offer materials with superior physical properties, while others may provide options with weaker strength. For a balance of cost and durability, we recommend opting for high-quality PVC tarpaulin. This material is robust enough to withstand regular use and offers a cost-effective solution suitable for most environments. However, if your venue sees high traffic and frequent usage, investing in custom PVC tarpaulin with enhanced durability is advisable. Though it might require a higher initial investment, its longer lifespan makes it a smart choice for venues expecting heavy, continuous use.
