Water slides Power Requirements vary by inflatable, but every water slides takes at least one blower.

Some take more than one blower For each blower, you will have to be within 100 foot of your power source. That power source must support 12amps. A 20 amp breaker will only support one blower (this is what most plugs are on unless it is a commercial building and then you will come times have a 30amp breaker). If your inflatables require more than one blower, you will need to find another plug within 100ft that is on a separate breaker.

If you do not have the required electrical available within 100 foot of where you plan on sitting your inflatable, you can rent a generator.

This is often the case for events in Fort Worth city parks where direct power outlets are not available or sufficient, making our generator rentals a convenient solution.

10–16 ft slides suit kids; 17–26 ft, slip-n-slides, and obstacle courses suit teens/adults.

For each blower, you will have to be within 100 feet of your power source. That power source must support 12 amps. A 20 amp breaker will only support one blower (this is what most plugs are on unless it is a commercial building and then you will sometimes have a 30 amp breaker).

First and foremost, we need a clear pathway with an adequate gate or door to get an inflatable through. You will minimally need a 4-foot-wide path and gate or entry door. Some inflatables are larger and take a larger opening.

Inflatables will be taken to the area you want to set them in by a dolly, so we need a clear path. We cannot lift inflatables over an air conditioning unit or go upstairs.

Bounce house and inflatable setup requires a flat surface or one with very little grade to it.

Grass is the preferred setup surface as the inflatables can be staked down for ultimate safety.

Inflatable bounce houses can be set up on concrete as well, but we have to know that up front since they cannot be staked down on concrete and must be anchored with sandbags to keep them safely in place. Please note that sandbag setups are an extra charge and will not be allowed in winds over 15 mph to ensure ultimate safety and compliance with manufacturer regulations.

Indoor setups are also an option. We do need to know this at the time of booking so we can supply the necessary equipment to keep the inflatables from moving around on gym floors. Please confirm the height of your indoor space so we can ensure the inflatable you choose will properly fit.
