🎉 Renting an inflatable for your next party? Here are a few quick tips to make sure everything goes smooth on event day! 👇
✅ Measure your setup area BEFORE booking
Make sure you have enough room for the inflatable itself, plus extra space around it for safety and setup access.
✅ Check your power situation
Most inflatables need a dedicated outlet within about 50 feet. Using overloaded circuits can cause issues during your event.
✅ Water slide? Plan for water access
A working water hose/spigot nearby makes setup much easier and keeps the fun going all day long.
✅ Avoid mowing right before your rental 🌱
Fresh cut grass can make a HUGE mess — especially with water slides or wet inflatables. Wet grass clippings stick to the vinyl, get tracked everywhere, and can make the unit messy and slippery. If possible, try to avoid mowing for a few days beforehand.
✅ Keep the setup area clear
Please remove sticks, pet waste, sharp objects, toys, and anything else that could damage the inflatable before delivery.
✅ Don’t wait until the last minute to book
Popular units and weekends can fill up FAST once the weather warms up — especially water slides! ☀️💦
✅ Choose the right inflatable for the age group
Bigger isn’t always better. Matching the inflatable to the kids’ ages helps keep everyone safer and having more fun.
✅ Ask questions!
A good rental company should be happy to explain setup, safety rules, cleaning procedures, and what’s included with your rental.
