Outdoor Decorations
Hi Everyone~

I was wondering if you have any of the outdoor inflatable decorations?

I would like to get one this year, but wondering how it would hold up with the wind, cold etc.

Thanks in advance!

They hold up really good considering. They have anchors and are pretty sturdy. We have not lost any yet, but have had to reanchor some after a tough storm,

We have several Christmas ones and they have held up well the last 3 years. Some are newer than that. But they've been rained on,etc and have held up well.

We don't have any here, but I was talking to a guy at Menards who said that there were a string of incidences around here where someone was going out slicing through them. How sad!

We don't have any for Xmas but just used our huge Frankenstein for the second year in a row and it works great! You can see our house from far far away.

Gee Whiz, how rude! Guess some people have nothing better to do.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I LOVE THEM! I have several...one is 14 foot long. I've only had one that had plastic inner chambers burst. I returned it to the store. Some I've had for 3 to 4 years with no problem.
