Question 1

How long does it take to inflate?

Accepted Answer

Under 5 minutes with the included USB-rechargeable electric pump. The TPU bladders require roughly 5–7 PSI to achieve rigid operational strength.

Question 2

Is the AirDugOut waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The seams are high-frequency thermal welded to provide waterproof protection. The canopy is 420D Oxford cloth with UV-resistant and flame-retardant treatment. Always follow the wind guidance and assess local conditions before use.

Question 3

Can it handle strong winds?

Accepted Answer

For mean average wind speeds, 0–18 mph is suitable for most match and training conditions. At 18–20 mph, use with caution only if conditions are stable and all anchor points and guy ropes are secured. Do not use above 20 mph: high winds can affect stability and damage the shelter. Check the forecast and local conditions, leave windows slightly open for airflow in windy weather, and avoid use if unsure. Always secure all six base anchor loops, using ground pegs on grass or weights, sandbags or suitable ground anchors on astroturf and hardstanding.

Question 4

Is it safe if a player runs into it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlike rigid perspex or aluminium dugouts, the pneumatic structure poses zero collision risk. The high-pressure structural tubes simply absorb the impact — complying with FA touchline safety regulations.

Question 5

What are the deployed dimensions?

Accepted Answer

3.5m wide × 1.5m deep. Height is 1.95m at the open front, sloping to 1.70m at the rear.

Question 6

What guarantee does the AirDugOut come with?

Accepted Answer

Air columns (structural tubes and valves) are covered for 5 years against non-human damage. The fabric canopy and panels are covered for 1 year against non-human damage.

Question 7

What is the current price?

Accepted Answer

The AirDugOut is £699 (ex VAT). The Custom Branding Pack is £199 (ex VAT) on its own, or £99 when added to a shelter order at the same time.

Question 8

Can I pay in instalments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Klarna (Pay in 3 — 3 monthly payments) and Clearpay (4 fortnightly payments) are both available at checkout, interest-free.

Question 9

When will my order arrive?

Accepted Answer

The AirDugOut is in stock now. UK delivery is free and tracked, 3–5 business days. For shelter orders, European delivery is £125 (5–10 business days) and international delivery is £250 (10–21 business days). If you add a Branding Pack, your patches are printed once you've approved your digital proof, and your shelter and patches are dispatched together.

Question 10

Does it get too hot in the summer?

Accepted Answer

No. The highly adaptive 4-window system means the rear fly-mesh windows and main front window can all be unzipped and rolled up for a cooling cross-breeze, while the fixed roof window features an internal zippable sun-blind.

Question 11

Can the shelter be made completely private for changing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. By zipping down the solid internal covers on all 4 windows and sealing the 3-zip front entrance, the AirDugOut becomes a completely opaque, private space.

Question 12

What is the Custom Branding Pack?

Accepted Answer

The Branding Pack adds 2× full-colour PVC-printed patches to the left and right exterior side panels. Each patch is 80cm × 80cm. The patches are removable, so you can swap branding between seasons. £199 ex VAT standalone, or £99 with a shelter order.

Question 13

Can the shelter be moved while inflated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At 24kg fully inflated it can be lifted and relocated by two people — useful for repositioning during a tournament day.
