Bounce House Rental Blog

Planning a bounce house rental for your next party in Logan, Utah? Follow these essential best practices to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

1. Choose the Right Size and Location

Before booking your bounce house, consider the number of guests and available space. Our "Bounce Castle with a Slide" accommodates up to 8 children at once. Ensure you have at least 10 feet of clearance on all sides for safe setup and access.

2. Weather Considerations

Always check the weather forecast before your rental date. Bounce houses should not be used in winds exceeding 20 mph or during rain. We monitor weather conditions and will work with you to reschedule if needed for safety.

3. Adult Supervision is Essential

Never leave children unattended in a bounce house. Designate at least one responsible adult to supervise at all times. This person should:

• Monitor the number of children inside (max 8 for our castle)
• Ensure children remove shoes, jewelry, and sharp objects
• Prevent rough play, climbing on walls, or flips
• Keep food and drinks away from the bounce house

4. Age-Appropriate Play

Our bounce house is designed for children ages 3-12. Younger children should be supervised more closely, and we recommend separating very young children from older ones to prevent accidents.

5. Proper Attire

Children should wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Avoid loose items that could get caught. Socks are recommended for better grip and cleanliness.

6. Emergency Preparedness

Keep a first-aid kit nearby and have emergency contact numbers readily available. Our team provides safety instructions during setup, but it's important to review them with all supervising adults.

7. Cleanup and Maintenance

During the rental period, keep the bounce house clean by removing any debris that enters. We handle all setup, takedown, and cleaning, but maintaining cleanliness during use helps ensure everyone's safety.

8. Communication with Rental Company

Monitor weather forecasts in the days leading up to your event. If severe weather is predicted, we'll contact you to discuss options. It's always better to reschedule than to risk safety.
