General guidance for planning a rental like this — from the PartyRents editorial team, not specific to any one company.
Plan quantities around final headcount
Order to your confirmed guest count plus a small buffer for walk-ins and gift or food tables. A common mix is 8 guests per 60-inch round or per 8-ft banquet table.
Confirm delivery vs. pickup
Some rentals include drop-off and pickup; others are customer-pickup only. Clarify whether stacking, placement, and return staging are included so there are no surprises on event day.
Measure your space first
A standard bounce house needs roughly a 15×15 ft flat area plus a few feet of clearance on every side and overhead. Note gates, slopes, and low branches before you book so the unit actually fits.
Power and water access
Most inflatables run on a continuous blower and need a grounded outlet within about 50–100 ft, or a generator. Water slides also need a hose connection and a plan for drainage.
Surface and weather
Grass is ideal for staking; hard surfaces need sandbags instead. Reputable operators pause or postpone in high wind or storms — ask about the weather and refund policy up front.
Safety and supervision
Plan for adult supervision, group children by size, and confirm the unit is commercial-grade and regularly cleaned. Ask whether an attendant is available if you want hands-off supervision.
