How many children can bounce at a time?
As a general guide line:
Ages 2 to 8 ....... 8 to 10 children (depending on size)
Ages 9 to 12 .......6 or 7 children
Ages 13 to 16 .....4 to 6 children
However
keep in mind that compatible sized children MUST play on the unit at
the same time, REGARDLESS of age. Different sized children must not be
mixed. Please remember, the above is a guideline only. It all depends
on the size of the childern, and how active they are. Toddlers you can
get more in, since they are smaller, and less "bouncy." If it's all
girls, then you can have more in there. All boys, the number may be
less. Boys tend to be a bit, ..... well ....., yeah, a bit like boys.
Remember, you want to keep them safe. If needed, split them into
groups. Give each group ten minutes in the bounce house.
What kind of area can bouncers be set up in?
You
will need a flat grassy area that is clean of debris (sticks, stones,
mud, etc.), pet waste, or sprinklers. For proper clearance, you will
need at least a 20x20 area, with clearance overhead (no power lines,
trees, branches, overhangs, etc.) of 20 feet. An electrical outlet
needs to be within 100 feet.
Can inflatable bounce houses be setup on pavement (i.e. cul-de-sacs) or driveways?
No. Though some companies offer this option, our insurance company does not allow us to setup on asphalt or concrete.
How long do I get to use the equipment?
Our standard rental rate covers up to 24 hours of use. You can
arrange to use the equipment longer for an additional fee. We don't
charge less for less than 24 hours because of our delivery and setup
costs.
We
will normally set your equipment up at least an hour before the
starting time of your event. Early setup or late takedown as a result
of our delivery schedule does not count towards your hours of use.
Does the blower have to run all the time?
Yes,
the blower keeps the inflatable bounce house inflated. As long as all
riders have exited safely, the blower can be unplugged to deflate the
bouncer. This is sometimes neccessary to give the adult supervisors a
break and to let the children take a breather.
How far in advance do I need to reserve a bouncer?
ASAP!
As soon as you have a confirmed date for your party, we highly
recommend that you book your bouncer for that date. Don't wait! There's
nothing worse than getting your party organized, then calling up to
book a bounce house, and finding that none are available. There is
nothing we hate worse than having to turn someone down. However, it
happens. If this happens, at best, all we can do is refer you to one of
our partner companies, or put you on standby, in the event of a
cancellation. Why not just avoid the stress, and book it now. We can
book as far as one year in advance.
If
you have a last minute urge to rent a bounce house, if you've just
found out about us, or if your other company is giving your grief, give
us a call anyway. We can't promise anything, but alot of times we've
had those last minute bookings and were able to get to the party on
time. You never know, unless you call us.
I've heard they are dangerous. How safe are bounce houses?
Bounce
houses are very safe, as long as all the rules are followed and common
sense is used. Bumps and bruises occasionally can be expected. However,
most people have a misconception about bounce houses, and think of them
as a "baby sitter." Rent a bounce house, and the adults can be left
alone. WRONG! Most of the injuries are caused by or happen to
unsupervised children. Just as you would not leave children unattended
in a swimming pool, do not leave children unattended in a bounce house.
They must be supervised at all times, and the rules must be inforced!
It will keep the children entertained for hours though, and they will
sleep that night!
Why are adults not allowed in the bounce houses?
Because
Father Time says so! With older kids (teens) and adults, more serious
injuries occur with long recovery times. Bumps and bruises can be
expected in a bounce house. Children typically get bumps and bruises.
They remeber that bump or bruise for, ummm, all of about 30 seconds. If
your like me, your still feeling it three days later! Adults end up
with ruptured disks, back, head and knee injuries and have families
depending on them for income. Yes, we would all love to be seven or
eight again. Mentally some of us are, but physically ......... it can
be serious.
Adults
will not harm or damage the bouncers. It's always the other way around.
Any adults trying to be eight years old again, you are doing so at your
own risk!
What kind of deposit is required?
At this time, we do not require a deposit.
What method of payments can I use?
We
accept cash, checks (made payable to "K and L Inflatables" please),.
Please note that there is a $50 NSF fee on all returned checks.
What if it rains?
For
safety reasons, we cannot put bouncers up in the rain. If we don't put
the bouncer up, then there's no charge. If the weather looks like it
may turn foul, then we reserve the right to cancel the rental,
reschedule, or terminate the rental early (with a refund of course).
Refunds will be based on amount of time used (prorated). Again, safety
is our main concern, followed by your satisfaction. Bouncers and bad
weather don't mix.
What do I need to do to reserve a bounce house?
1. Set your party date and time
2.
Pick out a level grassy area, 20x20 with at least 20 foot overhead
clearance (no branches or power lines). Make sure it's within 100 feet
of a power source.
3.

telephone number, date and time of party, time of desired delivery.

inflatable bounce house moonwalk from K and L Inflatables!
5.
The day prior to your scheduled rental, we will call to confirm and to
give you an estimated delivery time of when we will be there.
Reason
we ask for time of delivery and time of party? We try and accommodate
everyone, and may need to adjust the delivery time based on that days
deliveries. We ask for the time of the party, to ensure that we have
the bounce house setup in plenty of time for your party.
If we haven't covered your question here, or if you would like more information, then give us a call, or email us.
