Is 万圣节庭院充气摆件 Worth Selling?

“For Halloween and Christmas I've had now have four big tall Inflatables that use AC fans to blow up dead after only one year of use. I don't use them year-round I put them up in store containers in my garage when not in use yet fan motors to live lights still work fans aren't spinning. And a replacement AC Motors are 50 bucks a piece makes it not really worth repairing for such a high cost to replace the motor that'll only last one season.”

“I have 9 Christmas inflatables this year that don't work all of the sudden. I had several Halloween ones that did not work either this year. 1 of the Halloween ones were new, and 2 of the Christmas ones were new (used for partially 1 season). I stored them all in plastic storage bins in my shed. I can't seem to bring myself to throw them away, its $100's of dollar's worth of them.”

“When I've had similar issues I've just tossed them. I have been transitioning from inflatables to only blow molds partially for this reason.”

“Does anyone have recommendations for better stakes and cords than the cheap ones that come with most inflatables? The ones for staking the cords to the ground are plastic and sometimes break. Then, for holding down the blower underneath the inflatable, there are the spiral ones, which are a pain to screw into the ground through the holes in the legs of the blower. I've tried searching online, but for the most part I find stakes that are straight and smooth.”

“I have several tall inflatables. I upgraded the stakes and ropes that came with them. This is their third year and they've held up against rain, wind, sleet. And snow.”

“I just pulled out one of my inflatables from last year, and apparently one of the loops that I'm supposed to thread the string through to stake it down got ripped off last year. How can I fix that? Also, how does everyone keep their inflatables standing? I'm out there literally every day adjusting because they've fallen down or blown over.”

“Currently we have 16mph wind with light rain, I have a weather box around the extension cord so I'm not too worried about electrical. I'm worried the pumpkin will somehow snap off the cords and stakes and start rolling and end up somewhere in the neighborhood until it deflates. It has 4 stakes at the base, and 4 cords at the top attatched to stakes. Is this enough to truly keep it in place?”

“What is the wind suggestion for inflatables? Mine are from spirit Halloween. I have this 12 footer I'm concerned about.”

“I live in Northern Ontario so it makes me VERY HAPPY to report I put the inflatables up today when the ground was still soft!!! Last year the ground was FROZEN so I couldn't put a peg into the ground and everything was held by ropes tied to huge rocks!”

“Is the zipper part big enough to reach in and put sand bags inside? Or something else that's heavy and won't rip material. But 16mph is not a big deal if you've properly anchored.”

“I noticed quite a few dead gnats or mosquitoes in the fan (which is completely understandable to me) so I popped it apart and cleaned them out. I then decided to turn the decoration inside out to make sure it was dry and LITERALLY like 4 cups of dead bugs (gnats and/or mosquitoes) dumped out on my carpet. It filled around a quarter of my vacuum canister. Is this just some horrible secret about inflatable decorations that no talks about?”

“I am finding that some of my largest ones, which have the 120v fan on them, are not getting enough air inside of them to stand upright solidly. I am happy to add a second fan to them if that can help get them to stand up better. Since these are some of the biggest on my yard, they are not ones I want to replace, but would rather fix them. Yes, zippers are closed on them and there are no rips or tears in them.”

“I thought I'd check here before winging it with FlexTape or something lol. Any good recommendations to repair ripped spots? I know how to sew, I just don't know how good or how long the repair would last.”
