Bounce houses add excitement to any event, but safe transport and installation are essential for fun—without the hassle. Here’s what you need to know to deliver, set up, and secure your inflatable safely.
Inspect for Damage: Check seams, zippers, and fabric for wear or tears. Repair small issues before travel.
Gather Supplies: Have tarps, heavy-duty straps, covers, and a dolly or hand truck ready for easy movement and protection.
Choose a Suitable Vehicle: Use a van, large SUV, pickup, or trailer. The bounce house should lie flat and not be overly compressed.
Bundle and Secure: Roll the deflated bounce house tightly. Use straps in a crisscross pattern and place it in a protective bag or tarp.
Clear the cargo area of debris or sharp objects.
Lift with care and secure the load tightly with straps or ropes to prevent shifting during transit.
Check straps periodically during travel, especially on longer trips.
Choose a Flat, Clear Area: Remove rocks, sharp objects, and debris from the site. Use a tarp beneath the bounce house for extra protection.
Unroll and Spread: Lay the bounce house out fully before connecting the blower.
Anchor Firmly: Use stakes, sandbags, or anchor weights at all tether points—especially in windy conditions.
Inflate and Inspect: Connect the blower, inflate the unit, and check for proper air pressure and secure anchors. Ensure safety netting and entrances are functional.
Double-check all anchors and inflation before use.
Provide clear rules, supervise play, and monitor wind conditions during the event.
Consult the rental company’s instructions for site-specific details.
Following these steps ensures a smooth, safe experience when transporting and setting up bounce houses—delivering hassle-free fun at any event.
