Renting a bounce house for your next birthday party, church picnic, block party or another special event can add to the fun and excitement. But before you call the bounce house rental company, here are a few basic facts you need to know.
Commercial Grade Bounce Houses
Lately, some companies have begun offering bounce houses for sale at places like Wal-Mart and Toys'R'Us. While these bounce houses are certainly affordable, you get what you pay for.
Commercial grade bounce houses like those available from professional bounce house rental companies are made of durable, high-quality materials that are designed to accommodate the beating they will take from your guests.
Using inexpensive plastic bounce houses that aren't made of durable material may end up costing you more when you have to call the bounce house rental company to replace it when it bursts.
Choose Heavier Grade Bounce Houses
Another consideration is the structural weight of the bounce houses. Those you can buy at toy stores and party supply stores often have a structural weight of only 30 or 40 pounds.
Generally, the lighter the bounce house, the more likely it is to be affected by strong winds. Commercial bounce houses -- such as the type rental companies provide -- often have a structural weight of 300 pounds or higher. This heavier weight provides more stability and safety for the children using the bounce house.
Staking Your Bounce House
Be cautious of toy bounce houses that come with plastic stakes. Staking the bounce house to the ground is what provides stability against the wind.
Lightweight plastic stakes provide less stability than the type of heavy-duty 18-inch metal stakes used for commercial bounce houses.
Bounce House Assembly
Bounce house toys you can buy come with instructions that tell the buyer how to set up and break down the equipment. But if inexperienced users make a mistake, it could put the users of the bounce house at risk.
Commercial bounce houses are set up and taken down by professionals who do it every day.
