If you are getting into business renting inflatable attractions like bounce houses, inflatable slides, and inflatable obstacle courses, you need to be sure that you purchase top quality equipment from inflatable manufacturers. These are not the same as the ones that private individuals purchase for their own backyard use, because they are sturdier.
Any inflatable bounce house you buy should be made of tough, commercial grade vinyl, and it should be triple-stitched with heavy duty nylon. Well-made structures have the advantage of not only lasting longer, but also being a lot more bouncy and fun for kids.
Bounce houses originated in the 1950s when inventor John Scurlock spied on some of his employees jumping on inflatable tennis court covers, and got the idea. The idea evolved to big air mattresses, and walls were soon added. It didn't take long before people figured out how much fun these things were. Today, inflatable attractions continue to become more popular for everything from backyard birthday parties to school carnivals. In addition to bounce houses, today's inflatables include wet and dry slides, obstacle courses, and combination structures.
If you are considering expanding your rental business to include inflatable bounce houses and the like, or if you want to start a business that's exclusive to renting inflatables, of course you should choose the best quality products. Even if you want to start small - say, with three inflatable products - choose a good mix of products to appeal to the broadest range of potential customers. You may want to choose one "girly" bounce house, another that would appeal to boys, and a third product that would appeal to everyone, such as an inflatable slide.
Another great idea is a combination unit that includes an enclosed structure and a permanently attached or detachable slide that goes on the side. These are a lot of fun and are a huge hit at summertime gatherings. Inflatable "Twister" games are big hits too, as are maze-like obstacle courses.
Once you choose your equipment, you will need to have all the necessary accessories, some of which will come with it. You'll need long spikes for anchoring your inflatable attractions, as well as sandbags, which you drive the stakes into when the ground is too hard, or when you set up the attractions indoors. Proper anchoring is essential to safety, so you will have to learn how to do it correctly.
If you don't have a truck, you will need a trailer for hauling the inflatables and all their accessories to the various venues. And, of course, you will need helpers for setup, clean-up, and dismantling. In some cases, you will need to have an attendant to monitor the use of the attraction, particularly for the larger ones, such as the big slides. Your liability insurance may have specific requirements for attendants as well.
Renting inflatable attractions is a lucrative business, either as a sideline to a general equipment rental business, or on its own. Invest in the best equipment, take good care of it, and advertise well, and you can enjoy a sector that continues to grow and thrive.
