Big Sky Innovations, renowned globally for their ‘Inflatable Pontoon’ has launched the InflataFENCE®, a world’s first inflatable modular fence.
The company, established in 2013 by Gavin and Lydia Skinner – a nature-loving couple from Queensland, now bring their expertise of inflatable systems from the boating industry to the caravanning world. “We love the outdoors and are the kind of people who, on seeing a problem, find solutions,” Gavin explains. “So, when as boaties we looked for a lightweight, heavy-duty pontoon that could be adapted to various situations and couldn’t find one, we decided to create it ourselves.”
Ten years later, this team must have done something right as their high-grade inflatables are now used across other industries from sporting associations, SES, to marine research for the Great Barrier Reef. However, they soon realised their technology had applications on land.
Lydia says, “As outdoor enthusiasts, we also love caravanning with our dogs. But there’s a problem. People with pets need them safely contained. This means leads that get tangled, or heavy, cumbersome fences. We knew the technology in our pontoons was ideal, and this led to the lnflataFENCE®.”
The lnflataFENCE® is a design protected platform that uses the same high-grade materials as their world-renowned Inflatable Pontoons, to create an enclosure that inflates in minutes to securely fit to vans or used as a standalone enclosure – safely containing your pets on the go. It’s as hard as timber, weighs 14kg, and comes in a gym-sized bag for easy storage.
Big Sky Innovations is confident that pets and owners will love the durability, ease and freedom of the lnflataFENCE®.
