Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide electricity for the bounce house?
No, you provide the electrical outlet within 100 feet of the setup area. We supply heavy-duty outdoor extension cords rated for continuous use. Standard household outlets (110V, 15-amp minimum) work perfectly. We recommend keeping the outlet area clear and accessible, and ensuring no other high-power devices share the same circuit during your event.
What if we don't have enough space in our yard?
Our delivery team performs a free space assessment upon arrival. Standard bounce house requirements are:
- Minimum Space: 18' x 18' for most units
- Height Clearance: 15 feet minimum (no overhanging branches)
- Access Width: 36 inches minimum for equipment transport
- Ground Conditions: Level surface (slight slopes acceptable)
If your primary location won't work, we'll help find the best alternative spot on your property or recommend a different unit size.
How many kids can safely use the bounce house at once?
Capacity varies by unit size and age groups:
- Small Bounce Houses (10x10): 4-6 kids under age 8, or 3-4 kids ages 8-12
- Medium Bounce Houses (13x13): 6-8 kids mixed ages, with age separation recommended
- Large Bounce Houses (15x15+): 8-12 kids mixed ages, maximum 10 under age 8
- Combo Units with Slides: 6-10 kids with proper rotation between bounce and slide areas
Important: Adult supervision required at all times. We provide detailed capacity guidelines and safety rules with every rental.
What happens if it rains during our event?
Safety is our top priority. Our weather guidelines:
- Light drizzle: Units can handle minimal moisture, but monitor conditions
- Moderate rain: Stop use immediately until conditions clear
- Storms/high winds: Evacuate and deflate unit if winds exceed 20 mph
- Lightning: Cease all use and move indoors until 30 minutes after the last thunder
This is exactly why our $15 weather-safe deposit policy is so valuable - you can reschedule with just 24 hours' notice!
Do adults need to supervise the bounce house constantly?
Yes, responsible adult supervision is required at all times during use. We recommend:
- One designated adult supervisor per bounce house
- Continuous visual monitoring of all activities
- Enforcement of capacity limits and safety rules
- Age-appropriate groupings (separate smaller and larger children)
- Regular safety reminders throughout the event
We provide a comprehensive safety briefing and written guidelines with every rental.
Can you set up on concrete, asphalt, or indoors?
Absolutely! We set up on all surface types at no additional charge:
- Grass/Dirt: Professional steel stakes and ground anchors
- Concrete/Asphalt: Heavy-duty sandbags (200+ lbs per anchor point)
- Mixed Surfaces: Custom anchoring solutions for your specific layout
- Indoor Setup: Weighted anchoring systems for gyms and large indoor spaces
Our experienced crew has handled every possible setup scenario across Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
