When you plan to rent a bounce house for an event, you typically have the choice of having the party rental company bring the structure to your location and set it up for you or take care of the work yourself. There are advantages to both options, and if you're more of the do-it-yourself type, you might like the idea of picking up the bounce house and handling the setup on your own. Before you proceed in this manner, it's useful to confirm a number of details with the party rental company. Here are three things in particular that you should ask about.

Folded Size And Weight

If you're going to pick up your bounce house to take to your home or other location and set it up yourself, you can expect that the structure will be folded in a compact manner. It's important to confirm the size and weight of the bounce house when it's folded, especially if you have a small car. If you're thinking about renting a large structure that can accommodate several children at the same time, you'll want to ensure that it will fit in your trunk. Knowing the weight will help you to decide whether you need someone to help you unload it from your vehicle once you get to the event location.

Inflation Time

Bounce houses inflate in different lengths of time due to a variety of different factors. It's important to confirm the inflation time of the house that you're renting. For example, if it takes a little longer, you'll want to ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the inflation before the children begin to arrive at your event. Many bounce houses inflate fully in less time than you might expect, which you'll appreciate if you have numerous things that need your attention shortly before your event is about to begin.

Extra Equipment

Some bounce houses require extra equipment, while others do not. For example, some structures will need tethers that can hold them to nearby buildings, trees, or other immovable objects. Before you choose your bounce house and take it with you, you'll want to confirm what additional things you need. You might favor a structure that doesn't require this equipment because of its setup simplicity, but if you do choose something that needs tethers, you'll want to get a quick tutorial on how to use them. Contact a party rental company to learn about the bounce houses they have available.
