the part nobody else has
The measurements, free to take
Every plan on this site is built on 148 product records that were read off the retailer's own listing by hand. Here they are, as a file, for anyone who wants them.
148 outdoor holiday decorations from 13 retailers, with listed dimensions, the manufacturer's own weather rating, amp draw, and lit length as distinct from packaged length. CC BY 4.0: use it for anything, including commercially, as long as you say where it came from.
Why this is worth having
Retail listings are written to sell a thing, not to let you plan around it. Four facts in particular get buried, contradicted or simply left out, and all four decide whether a piece can go where you want to put it.
Whether it can stand in the rain
Manufacturers rate props for open ground, for covered use only, or somewhere between. Most listings bury it in the specification table and a good number omit it. Get it wrong and a wet fortnight ends the piece, with the warranty claim declined.
How much of a light set is lit
A set advertised at 65 ft is commonly 33 ft of lit run plus lead cable. Buy roofline by the number on the box and the house ends up two thirds outlined. Every coverage figure here is lit length only.
What it draws, and whether it stops
An inflatable's blower never switches off, so four of them is most of a 15 amp circuit before a single light goes up. The draw is recorded per piece with a flag for the ones that pull continuously.
What the listed height is measured to
Usually a hat, an ear or a raised arm rather than the body, which is why a 12 ft inflatable reads shorter than 12 ft in a yard. Width is frequently the more useful number and is here too.
How it was made, and where it is thin
Every figure was read off the retailer's own published listing by hand. Where a listing contradicted itself the conflict was resolved and the reasoning written down rather than averaged away.
Of the 148 records here, 110 have all three dimensions published by the seller. The other 38 are missing at least one, nearly always depth, because the seller never published it.
Those appear as empty cells and nulls. They are not zeroes and they have not been estimated, inferred from a photograph, or copied across from a similar product. A plausible invented number is a worse failure than an admitted gap, because nobody downstream can tell it is one.
Records still awaiting verification are not in this file at all. Only records confirmed against a live listing are published here, which is why the count is lower than the number of products the site knows about. Every row was last checked on or after 27 September 2026.
What each column means
| Column | Unit | What it is |
|---|---|---|
heightIn |
inch | Listed height, fully assembled or fully inflated, at the tallest point. For an inflatable that point is usually a hat or an ear rather than the body. |
widthIn |
inch | Listed width at the widest point. Inflatables are commonly wider than they are tall, which is the dimension that decides whether two pieces merge into one lump seen from the street. |
depthIn |
inch | Listed depth front to back. Null on the large share of listings that do not publish it. |
exposure |
— | The manufacturer's own weather rating, in three values. all-weather is rated for open ground. covered means the listing warrants it only under a roof, which is true of most cloth-costumed animatronics. fair-weather survives a shower but not six weeks outdoors. |
ampsEstimate |
ampere | Current draw for one piece. Used to total a display against the 12 amp working limit of a 15 amp household circuit. |
continuousDraw |
— | Whether the piece draws current for the whole time it is switched on. True for anything with a blower, which is what fills a circuit; string lights are a rounding error by comparison. |
coverageFt |
foot | Lit run for a light set, as distinct from the packaged length printed on the box. A set advertised at 65 ft is commonly 33 ft of lit run plus lead cable. |
pieceCount |
— | How many separate objects arrive in the box, for anything sold as a set. |
Using it
The licence is CC BY 4.0 (opens in a new tab). Copy it, publish it, build something on it, sell the something. The one condition is attribution, and the attribution line is inside both files so it travels with the data rather than staying on this page.
If you are quoting a figure, quote the date beside it. Dimensions and weather ratings are stable; stock and pricing are not, and a figure repeated without its check date will eventually be repeated after it stopped being true.
One thing to repeat carefully. Where a manufacturer rates a piece for covered use only, that is a safety and warranty matter rather than a preference. Passing it on as optional would be worse than not citing the record at all.
