Just been at toysrus in livingston and they had this playhouse for £25 including the blower, i had remembered seeing it for alot more online so thought och i'll buy it, well so glad i did its brilliant, bigger than i expected and ive checked online can't get it any cheaper than £50 bargain if like me you are fed up buying the kids little tents that they break all the time. link to picture of playhouse http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Outdoor-and-Sports/Playhouses-and-Tents/Playhouses/Victorian-Inflatable-Playhouse(0071390))

    Glad you managed to get one mines has been up most of the day kids absolutley love it!!
    size wise best way for me to describe is, length is the same as my swing & seesaw set (you know the ones 2 swings and a seesaw ) as for height im 5ft2 & can stand up straight inside. I only have a normal sized drying green n it fits fine infront of the swings it also doesn't have a floor so it could be put on concrete if it wasnt a windy day otherwise needs to be pegged down. im still well chufffed with myself for spotting it :rotfl:

    We have a inflateable bouncy castle and its actually really easy to put away - easier than you would expect. the bag that came with it is really generous which helps. You wouldnt be able to leave the blower out in all weathers, and the heap of material it would sink to would kill your grass and it would fade in the weather. Over 2 years use ours has faded and has only been out when in use.

    This isn't a blow up and leave house, you need to have a blower going all the time to keep it inflated which means it's noisy and consuming electricity which isn't very MSE! I'm sure for some people it will be exactly what they need but if you truly want to save money I'd steer clear.

    Well done on a good find though. :beer:
