How to Prepare for Your Bounce House or Waterslide Rental
Planning a party or special event? There’s nothing quite like the joy a bounce house or waterslide brings to kids — and even adults! At Rentals Galore, we’re here to make your event unforgettable, and that starts with a little preparation. Knowing how to get ready for your inflatable rental ensures a safe, smooth, and super fun experience.
Here’s everything you need to know before your bounce house or waterslide arrives!
📍 Step 1: Choose the Perfect Location
Your inflatable rental needs a clean, flat space — preferably grassy, though driveways or pavement are fine too. Just make sure:
- The area is clear of sharp objects, sticks, rocks, and pet waste.
- There’s enough room for the unit and blower space (we’ll tell you how much!).
- The surface is flat and not on a slope or hill.
If you’re not sure your space will work, no worries — just give us a call, and we’ll help you figure it out.
🔌 Step 2: Make Sure There’s Power
Each inflatable requires a standard 110V outlet. Ideally, this outlet should be within 50-75 feet of the setup area. If it’s farther away, let us know — we can bring extension cords or a generator (if needed) for an additional fee.
Pro tip: If you’re renting a waterslide, make sure there’s a working water hose nearby too!
🚫 Step 3: Clear the Area
Before we arrive, please:
- Remove toys, furniture, lawn decorations, and pet waste from the setup area.
- Trim any low-hanging tree branches or wires.
- Let us know if sprinklers are in the area so we can avoid damaging anything.
This helps us set up quickly and safely — and gets the party started faster!
👨👩👧 Step 4: Plan for Supervision
Safety is our #1 priority. While our inflatables are designed to be safe and sturdy, adult supervision is required at all times. Make sure you have someone assigned to watch over the fun to keep things safe and organized.
🧼 Step 5: Expect a Clean, Sanitized Inflatable
At Rentals Galore, cleanliness is part of our promise. Every unit is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before delivery. Still, it’s helpful to have kids remove shoes, glasses, and sharp objects before entering. If it’s a water unit, don’t forget swimwear and sunscreen!
⏰ Step 6: Know the Schedule
We’ll confirm your drop-off and pickup times ahead of your event. You don’t need to be there all day, but we do ask that someone is present when we arrive to:
- Show us where to set up
- Sign any final paperwork (if needed)
- Ask any last-minute questions!
