Set-up
 

Following are a few tips that will ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient set-up.
 

• ·       PAYMENT IS DUE IN CASH OR MONEY ORDER BEFORE SET-UP.

• ·       We usually only require a deposit on major holidays, when demand exceeds our supply.  We will request $100 to hold your rental, which will be applied toward the total.

• ·       Your slide will arrive sanitized or will be sanitized on site.  Keep in mind, it may arrive wet, as it may have just been picked up from a previous rental.

• ·       We need a clear pathway to the set-up location.  Please make sure the pathway is not obstructed by vehicles, trampolines, etc.

• ·       Optimally, a level, grassy surface is the best ground. Make sure the site is clear of any debris, such as excessive cut grass, animal excrement, twigs, crawfish mounds, etc.  Make sure there is nothing protruding out of the ground which might puncture the unit.

• ·       Ants, spiders, and other little critters love water.  We recommend that you treat the set-up area with pest control for a more enjoyable experience. 

• ·       For slide placement, we need to be within 75 feet of the wall plug-in for proper operation.  A generator would also be a viable option.  We need a dedicated 20-amp circuit per blower.  So, if you are renting one of our 22’x60’ slides, 2 separate, 20-amp circuits are required.  Please know in advance into which outlet(s) we will be connecting. This is the most common issue contributing to delays in the set-up process.

• ·       Please be aware of overhead objects (tree limbs, power lines, etc.) that might pose a hazard to the inflatable, and ultimately, to the user.

• ·       Approximate set-up time on the 18’ slides is 30 minutes. All of the other slides take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, provided you are prepared for our arrival.  Our time is very precious. If you are unprepared, be prepared to pay a $25 per half hour surcharge for any delays that would extend our time beyond our approximate set-up times. Please make sure that 1) payment is promptly made in full upon our arrival, 2) our pathway to the set-up site is clear, and not obstructed by objects or vehicles, 3) you know exactly into which spigot and power outlet(s) we will connect (outlets with the sufficient 20-amp per blower rating), and 4) there is nothing underground that can be punctured by our stakes.

• ·       For the 2-lane Tropical and 2-lane Roaring River, we need a minimum of 70 feet in length and 30 feet in width to accommodate these slides.  For the 18’ single lane slides, we need a minimum of 35 feet in length and 28 feet in width.  The Corkscrew requires at least 38’ in length and 39’ in width. This includes the space needed to tether out the units.

• ·       For your safety, we secure the unit(s) with 36” spikes, which are driven about 2 feet into the ground.  Make sure the placement of the inflatable will not interfere with any buried electrical, gas, septic, or water lines.

• ·       We will need a water spigot.

• ·       Once unit is set into place, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE!

• ·       We provide tarps, extension cords, and water hoses.

• ·       It is normal to hear or to feel air escaping from the seams once unit is inflated.

Rain-outs/Other circumstances

• ·       In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, you are welcome to call and cancel your reservation at no charge, even if it is on the same day as your event.  As a courtesy, we will monitor the weather forecast to help you plan.  However, if the weather report is forecasting rain, and you choose to let us set-up, rain or shine, there are no refunds once we have begun.

• ·       Please shut off blowers during high winds and/or heavy rains.

Take-Down

• ·       Please leave the unit inflated after use.

• ·       If using a generator with our unit, please have the generator available to re-inflate for the take-down.  We need to have excess water drained off in order to pick up the slide unit.

• ·       We will clean the unit.

• ·       We need a clear pathway to the take-down location.  Please make sure the pathway is not obstructed by vehicles or other objects that might inhibit us from retrieving our equipment. This will allow us to come and go without interrupting you.

• ·       Make sure vehicles are clear of hoses and extension cords, and please do not run over our equipment with a vehicle.
