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 — there is no stitching to rip or leak — guaranteeing 100% waterproof protection. The canopy is 420D Oxford cloth with UV-resistant and flame-retardant treatment.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

What is the current price?

Accepted Answer

The AirDugOut is available at an introductory price of £699 (ex VAT) until 30th June 2026. After this date the standard price will be £999 (ex VAT).

Question 7

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 8

When will my order arrive?

Accepted Answer

We are targeting delivery in July/August 2026 for first-batch pre-orders.

Question 9

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 10

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 11

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 pre-order.

Question 12

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.
