1. Do You Have Enough Area?

If you’re setting up a bounce in your backyard or outdoor area, get ready for enough place! The most popular bounce houses are 15ft x 15 ft. This is rather simple as all you really need to do is have trusty tape measure to make sure you have at least 20 feet in both directions. You want to leave room between you and your fence or house in case you need to go around the unit once inflated.

If you lack space for optimal placement, it won’t be a problem and it doesn’t mean you do not have other options. You can consider asking around for other manufacturers in the market. Finding a well-trusted company will offer easy-to-set-up bounce houses for your party.

2. How to Decide Your Initial Bounce Houses?

There are moonwalks, combos, or slides to choose in the party. You have to decide what types, styles and sizes to buy. As for types, bounce houses are the fundamental essential in the market. Combos and slides are even better. Each bouncy combo has a large interior jumping area and a basketball hoop for group interaction. To add to the fun, there are single or dural lane slide attached. But if you don’t have adequate budget, bouncers are good to go.

As for styles, bouncy houses with creative themes are flexible and adaptable to any types of party. Attractive colors and characters fit children of all ages. Take the castle moonwalk for example. Kids can spend hours jumping, making friends and even pretend they are decreeing royal edicts upon their kingdom. It allows them to play and explore, while developing social skills.

3. Bounce Houses Need Additional Materials.

Besides the inflatable bounce houses themselves, you should buy additional materials for a smooth operation. Here are some items you will need:

•Generator: A generator is necessary when your area has no power source.

•Blower: If budget is not an issue, you’d better buy a bigger blower. It inflates the unit more quickly and makes it firmer during operation.

•Extension Cord: Preparing an extra extension cord is important if your area is far from a power source. It allows the power to be run from inside – out to the setup location.

•Hand Truck: A cart makes moving the larger inflatable bounce house more convenient.

•Cleaning Materials: The inflatable bounce houses must be kept clean and sanitized, especially for the children’s health and safety. That’s why you need a vacuum and other cleaning products.

4. What’s Kind of Surface Are You Setting Up On?

Indoors, grass, cement, gravel? Make sure you know so your can arrange the necessary supplies such as tarps, stakes, sandbags in advance. When it comes to fastening inflatable bounce houses on pavement or the driveway, you should tie it to something heavy. Vinyl sandbags weighing at least 40 pounds apiece are preferable. You can also use other heavy thing like concrete blocks, water bags or cement holder to secure the bounce house.

On the other hand, if you have to set up a bounce house on firm soil, the stakes must be at least 18 inches long. Do not stake them down into soft sandy soil because it will not hold the structure properly. Setting up a bounce house on solid and level ground not only guarantees that it will not shift, but also will make the stakes more difficult to pull out.

5. Don’t Forget The Tasty Treats And Camera For All!

One of the most important parts of a party is the food. Why not have a popcorn machine or hot dog steamer? Your kids can enjoy the taste of a steamed dog and popcorn just like from the carnival in the comfort of the party!

The moment the bounce house is inflated, every child immediately congregate to the bounce house, ready to enjoy hours of fun-filled exercise in it. When kids climb, slide, jump and run around together with their friends, you can catch those athletic moments with camera.
