A yard inflatable adds a big shape to the lawn for little effort. Most plug in, fill with a built-in blower in a few minutes and light up with LEDs. Height, character and what comes in the box are the main differences.
The six inflatables below run from 5 feet to 12 feet tall. Heights, cords and included stakes come from each product’s listing page. Blower, certification and wind statements are the makers’ own, and the listings give no blower wattage or wind limit. We have not used these inflatables ourselves.
