Once you determine out where you are going to have your party or event location it is important to know if there are any restrictions which may affect your inflatable rental.

We have a few scenarios to help guide you with your location type.

A party at a residential type is one of the easiest ones to plan for since you or someone you know owns the property and have easy access to the setup area to verify its specifications.

A few quick tips below will guide you along the way to make sure your setup area fits within the inflatable rentals limitations.

Is there a power source 115 volts with a 20 amperes dedicated circuit within 100ft of the furthest corner of the setup area?

Selecting an Inflatable Rental for Age Group

Our customers should be aware of the age group who will be attending the party or event which will help with selecting the correct inflatable rental. Inflatables are designed for certain age groups and are manufactured with guidelines for age, weight, and total persons while in operation. It is important to be aware of the age group and amount of attending to avoid in selecting the wrong inflatable rental which can lead to safety concerns and ultimately result in an unpleasurable experience.

What Inflatables Use Water

There are some inflatables which are specifically designed for water usage or others are not. Inflatables that are not designed for water usage can lead to safety concerns and lead to accidents or injury while in operation. The most popular inflatables for the water usage are the water slides, water games, and dunk tanks while the bounce houses, combos, obstacle courses, and toddlers are not designed for water usage. If you are unsure which inflatable to choose to match the type of party and be able to provide a safe atmosphere for your guests please contact us prior to assist in your selection or see our water usage chart.
