Can a Double Decker Carousel Fit Indoors or Only Outdoors?

As a professional carousel manufacturer with decades of industry experience, Dinis Carousel Supplier specializes in designing and producing high-quality double decker carousels. Our best-selling models—38-seat and 48-seat double decker carousels—offer both elegance and capacity, making them a center of attraction in any amusement venue. But a question we often hear is: Can these large carousels be installed indoors, or are they only suitable for outdoor use?

Size and Space Requirements

To answer this, let’s look at the facts:

Height: Both the 38-seat and 48-seat models stand at 11.5 meters tall (approx. 37.7 feet). Diameter: The 38-seat model covers 11 meters, while the 48-seat version requires 14.5 meters of ground space.

Given these dimensions, indoor installation is possible but requires very specific architectural conditions. A venue must have a minimum ceiling height of 12 meters, along with sufficient floor area and structural support.

Suitable Indoor Locations

Large indoor venues such as:

High-ceiling shopping malls

Indoor theme parks

Convention centers or exhibition halls

…may qualify for installing a Dinis double decker carousel. However, structural assessments—particularly the floor’s weight-bearing capacity—are essential before installation.

Indoor vs Outdoor Installation

Most double storey carousels are traditionally installed outdoors, where space is more flexible. Outdoor installations allow for easier logistics, natural ventilation, and visual visibility from a distance—making them ideal for amusement parks, plazas, and tourist destinations.

That said, indoor installations offer some unique advantages:

All-weather operation

Controlled environment for lighting and decor

Increased foot traffic in commercial venues

At Dinis, we offer full technical support, including layout planning, load calculations, and custom design services to meet your specific site conditions—whether indoors or out. More importantly, our 2 story carousels are of high quality, such as FRP, steel, etc, and long in using life, at least 12-15 years and even more.

Conclusion

In short, while our 38-seat and 48-seat double decker carousels are large-scale rides best suited for open spaces, they can be installed indoors if your venue meets the size and structural criteria. Our team at Dinis will guide you through the entire process—from design to installation.
