How to Rent Inflatable Water Slides

Water slides provide instant fun for any gathering. Renting one has never been easier if you follow some simple steps, including choosing a proper location, factoring the age and number of guests, finding the best slides available, ensuring the rental company is insured and trustworthy and spreading the word about your party.

By starting your outdoor party planning in advance and Including inflatable water slides in your plans, you’re sure to raise your party to new heights.

Here’s a closer look at each step.

Location

You’ll need a large, open outdoor area for your inflatable water slide. Check your backyard or the park where you plan to hold the party. Find a flat, grassy surface area where the slide can safely sit during use. It doesn’t need to be perfectly flat, but as close as possible.

How much room to do you need? That depends on the size of the slide. Those sizes are conveniently listed with information for each inflatable water slide available.

You’ll also want a generator that can power the fan blower that keeps the water slide inflated. You’ll want to run no more than 100 feet of cord in most cases to keep the current to the slide steady.

Age and Number of Guests

The younger the guests, the smaller the slide. That’s typically the rule. Luckily, there are plenty of exciting slides offered for young kids. However, in most cases, there is a mix of young and older kids at parties, as well as adults who want to give the slide a try. Given that, you’ll want to see if you have space for two slides so you can please both groups. You may also want to double up if you have many guests – two slides are better than one in preventing people from having to wait a long time in line.

It features a half-moon surface that allows you to slide down one side, then up the other side propelled by water from a hose at your back.

Another standout inflatable water slide is the Tropical Slip and Splash Water Slide Combo, which allows party guests to race down two parallel slides. It provides 66 feet of competitive, water sliding fun.

It’s also a smart move to check around on social media and with people you know in the community and find out what type of reputation the company enjoys.

Spread the Word
