1. |
How much
space do I need for a bounce house? |
|
|
|
Most of our bounce houses are 15'x15'
and require a three foot "safety space" to surround the
unit. At a minimum, an 18'x18' clearance is necessary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
Can they be
used in the rain? |
|
|
|
We always reserve the right to cancel
a reservation if there is severe weather. However, if
weather conditions are marginal when we drop off the
unit, and you decide to keep the unit, we do not
recommend that they be used in periods of heavy rain.
The units become very slippery when they get wet and
slipping can injure children and adults. |

How much does it cost to rent a bounce house?
|
|
|
|
We rent bounce houses according to
rental duration, the size of the unit, and the day of
the week. Our web site has been designed to provide you
with as much information as possible to help you with
your reservation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
5. |
Can I pick up
the unit and set it up myself? |
|
|
|
No. Since safety is our utmost
concern, we require that our qualified technicians
install the units, check them for safe operation, and
review all the necessary safety instructions with the
person renting the unit and anyone that will be involved
in supervising the operation of the bounce house. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
6. |
How soon in
advance of a function should I reserve my unit? |
|
|
|
We typically recommend that a bounce
house be reserved three to six weeks in advance of the
date needed. During the summer months, the most popular
units are booked at least a month in advance and many
weeks we have nothing to rent. Our recommendation is
that you book as soon as you know the date you
might need a bounce house. We always say "It is better to
be safe, than sorry". |
|
|

|
 |
|

|
|
|
7. |
What is your
"Bad Weather" policy? |
|
|
|
We always reserve the right to cancel
a reservation if there are heavy rains or high winds
(over 25 mph). Safe operation of our units and customer
safety is our utmost concern. We recommend you reserve a
rain date at an additional cost. |

8. |
Does the
bounce house have to be set up in a backyard or on
grass? |
|
|
|
No, many of our units are set up in
the parking lots of preschools, shopping centers,
churches and office buildings. Instead of anchoring the
units to stakes in the ground, we anchor them with 60
lb. sand bags for your safety. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
9. |
Can the unit
be set up on the pavement or in a parking lot? |
|
|
|
Yes, the units can be set up on
grass, as well as paved surfaces. We put a protective
tarp under the unit to protect it from the abrasive
movement across the paved surface. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
10. |
Who sets up
the bounce house? |
|
|
|
We have a team of qualified
technicians that have been properly trained to set up
the bounce houses so that they can be enjoyed in a safe
manner. The technicians have been instructed on how to
prevent "tripping" and shock hazards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Do you have
liability insurance? |
|
|
|
Yes. We have made the decision to
purchase a 1 Million Dollar General Liability policy for
each of our bounce houses. Many of our competitors have
decided to "cut" corners and not carry insurance, or may
only insure one or two of their bounce houses. Always
ask for a copy of their policy and get a certificate for
your records. |

|

|
|
|
|
|
 |

|
|
|
12. |
How long can
I rent a bounce house for? |
|
|
|
We have several standard rental
periods. These are 2,3,4 hour, rentals. However, if
these do not fit your party needs, please contact us. We
are very flexible and think you will find our rates
affordable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
13. |
Are the units
new and clean? |
|
|
|
Yes. All of our units are new, We want to
make sure that we have a "young" inventory that is made
up of the current styles. As far as clean, we clean each
unit (with disinfectant and a mini vacuum to get in the
crevices) after each use. If you ever find that one of
our bounce houses doesn't meet your standards for
cleanliness, Please let us know so me may correct the
problem. |
|
|

|
|
|
|
14. |
Does there
have to be an adult supervisor present? |
|
|
|
Yes. During our safety review after
the unit is set up, we make it clear that a supervisor
must be present when anyone is in the unit to ensure its
safe operation. The supervisor is there to help kids and
individuals get in and out of the unit safely. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
How long does
it take to set up the bounce house and take it down? |
|
|
|
First we determine the best location
with you for the bounce house. It only takes two minutes
for our bounce houses to inflate. Take down takes about
5 minutes to deflate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
16. |
What do you
need to set up the unit? |
|
|
|
All we really need is a relatively
flat, open area that does not have any overhead
obstructions and a power outlet with in 50 feet of where
the unit is to be set up. If no electricity is
available, portable generators are available upon
request. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
17. |
What
happens when the unit is delivered? |
|
|
|
When the unit is delivered, our
technician will inspect the site where the unit is to be
placed to ensure that it is free of any obstacles or
hazards to the unit or anyone playing in it. Since the
unit has to be anchored in some manner, we will inquire
as to any underground sprinkler systems to make sure
that our stakes do not puncture a hidden pipe. After the
inspection, we will set-up the unit and review safe
operating instructions. |
|
|
|

|
|
18. |
How do the
kids get safely in or out of the bounce house? |
|
|
|
All of our bounce houses have an
inflated safety step that is an integral part of the
unit. The step is slanted so that they can crawl up into
the unit through a small opening in the front of the
unit. When they need to exit the unit, they will exit
feet first, while sliding on their bottom or on their
tummies. We require that a supervisor be present at all
time to ensure that the kids are enjoying the unit in a
safe manner and to help with entering and exiting the
unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
19. |
Do I have to
keep the blower on at all times? |
|
|
|
There is really no need to turn off
the blower when the unit is set-up for enjoyment. The
unit uses less energy than a hair dryer and will ensure
that the unit is always ready for enjoyment. However, if
you do need to turn off the unit for any reason, it is
perfectly safe. Just make sure everyone has exited the
unit and make sure that the unit collapses onto itself
and not on any sharp objects or obstructions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
20. |
How are the
bounce houses cleaned? |
|
|
|
After each use, our bounce houses are
thoroughly vacuumed (even between the seams) to get dirt
and debris out of the unit and wiped down with a
disinfecting cleaner. We pride ourselves on delivering
new, clean and attractive units for your enjoyment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Do you
require a deposit? |
|
|
|
Yes. A $50 security deposit is
required to ensure that your bounce unit is reserved for
your event. We also ask that we have a credit card
number on file before the unit is delivered. The
security deposit is non-refundable but transferable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
What are your
methods of payment? |
|
|
|
We are very flexible as far as
payment. We accept Cash, Checks, and Credit Cards (Visa,
MC, Amex, and Discover) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
23. |
Can a bounce
house be set up indoors? |
|
|
|
Yes, we do set-up our units indoors,
assuming that the space is large enough to accommodate
the unit. Spaces that are typically large enough are
gyms, stages, shopping malls, and convention halls, just
to name a few. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Can I rent a
unit late in the evening or over night? |
|
|
|
Yes, we are very flexible concerning
our rental periods. However, if we feel that the unit
will not be safe in the late evening or over night, we
reserve the right to deny such rentals. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Will the
bounce house harm my lawn? |
|
|
|
No, the unit will not harm your lawn.
We place a tarp down under the bounce house to make sure
that any movement will minimize any damage. We will
place stakes in the yard to help anchor the unit, but
this does no permanent damage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
What is your
cancellation policy? |
|
|
|
We require a $50 deposit for any
reservation of our bounce units. This deposit is refundable if you cancel the reservation
14 days prior to
your rental date. Naturally, this does not apply to
cancellations due to weather or unsafe conditions. |
