Your backyard is the perfect venue for a party — and a bounce house or water slide from WOW Inflatables makes it even better. Whether you're hosting a birthday party, a summer cookout, or just a fun weekend gathering, we've got everything you need. Here are the top 25 questions we get about backyard inflatable rentals.
1. Can I Rent a Bounce House for a Backyard Party?
Absolutely! Backyard parties are the most common setup for WOW Inflatables rentals. A flat, grassy backyard with access to a standard outlet is all you need. WOW Inflatables handles delivery, setup, and pickup.
2. How Much Space Do I Need in My Backyard?
A standard 13×13 bounce house needs about 15×15 feet of clear space, plus overhead clearance of at least 16 feet. Larger units like water slides need more room — WOW Inflatables will confirm the exact dimensions when you book.
3. What Type of Inflatable Is Best for a Backyard Event?
For smaller backyards, a standard bounce house or combo unit works great. For larger yards, water slides and obstacle courses are popular choices. WOW Inflatables can help you find the right fit for your space.
4. How Much Does It Cost?
Backyard rentals typically range from $175 to $400+ depending on the unit. WOW Inflatables offers transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
5. How Far in Advance Should I Book?
Book 1–3 weeks ahead for most backyard events. For summer weekends and holidays, book earlier — popular dates fill up fast.
6. Does My Backyard Need to Be Perfectly Flat?
The setup area should be as flat as possible. A slight slope is usually manageable, but steep inclines can be a safety concern. WOW Inflatables will assess the area on delivery and let you know if there are any issues.
7. Can I Set Up on Concrete or a Patio?
Yes! WOW Inflatables can anchor units on concrete or asphalt with sandbags. Just make sure the surface is clear and the area has enough overhead clearance.
8. Do I Need a Permit for a Backyard Bounce House?
For private backyard events, permits are generally not required. However, some HOAs or local ordinances may have restrictions. Check with your HOA or local government if you're unsure.
9. How Close Does the Outlet Need to Be?
The blower motor requires a standard 110V outlet within 100 feet. WOW Inflatables provides a 100-foot extension cord with every rental. Make sure the cord path is safe and won't be a tripping hazard.
10. Can I Use a Bounce House in the Rain?
Light rain is usually fine for covered bounce houses. For lightning or high winds, the unit must be deflated immediately. WOW Inflatables will contact you 24 hours ahead for severe weather and offer free rescheduling or a full refund.
11. How Many Kids Can Use the Bounce House at Once?
Capacity depends on the unit. A standard 13×13 holds 6–8 kids at a time. Always follow the posted capacity limits and have an adult supervisor watching at all times.
12. Can Adults Use the Bounce House?
Many WOW Inflatables units accommodate adults. Check the weight limit for your chosen unit — most handle 500–800 lbs total capacity.
13. How Long Can I Rent a Bounce House?
Standard rentals are 4–8 hours. For all-day backyard events, ask about extended rental options. WOW Inflatables can work with your event schedule.
14. Are Water Slides Available for Backyard Rentals?
Yes! Water slides are extremely popular for backyard summer parties. Make sure your yard has enough space and a clear runoff area before booking.
15. Can I Rent for a Small Backyard Birthday Party?
Absolutely! Even small backyards can accommodate a standard bounce house. WOW Inflatables will confirm the dimensions fit your space before delivery.
16. What Is the Weight Limit?
Weight limits vary by unit — typically 500 to 800 lbs total capacity. WOW Inflatables will provide the specific limits for your chosen unit when you book.
17. Can I Add Concessions?
Yes! Snow cone machines, popcorn makers, and cotton candy machines are popular add-ons for backyard parties. Ask WOW Inflatables about concession packages.
18. Does WOW Inflatables Handle Setup and Takedown?
Yes! The WOW Inflatables crew delivers, sets up, and picks up everything. You focus on enjoying the party — they handle the logistics.
19. How Do I Prepare My Backyard for Delivery?
Clear the setup area of furniture, toys, and debris. Mark any sprinkler heads or underground utilities. Make sure there's a clear path from the street to the setup area for the delivery crew.
