Bounce House Rental Delivery, Setup & Space Requirements – FAQ

Planning your party or event and wondering what it takes to rent a bounce house? Here's everything you need to know about bounce house setup, delivery policies, and space requirements for your rental in Marin County or San Francisco, and beyond.

How Much Space Do I Need for a Bounce House Rental?

Most of our standard bounce house rentals require a flat, open space of at least 15 feet by 15 feet. Larger units like combo bounce houses, inflatable obstacle courses, or giant water slide rentals may require 20 to 25 feet or more, depending on the model.

We always recommend leaving at least 2–3 feet of clearance around all sides of the inflatable for safety and anchoring. However, each unit's dimensions are buffered by about 2-4 ft. to ensure we don't have our equipment rub up against brush, walls, fences, etc..

Tip: Renting in Corte Madera, Novato or Tiburon? We'll help you assess your space before delivery.

Can You Set Up Bounce Houses on Concrete, Turf, or Asphalt?

Yes — we can set up on concrete, artificial turf, or asphalt surfaces. We bring specialized anchoring equipment such as sandbags or water barrels to safely secure your inflatable if stakes can't be used.

We do not set up on mud, loose dirt, or sand for safety and cleanliness reasons.

Renting a bounce house for a school event or church parking lot? Let us know ahead of time so we prep the right equipment.

Do You Deliver Bounce Houses to Public Parks?

Absolutely! We deliver to many parks across Marin County and San Francisco, and surrounding areas, as we are the preferred vendor in most San Francisco/Marin County parks. However, most cities and counties require a permit for bounce house use in public parks, and you'll need to obtain that before your event.

If your park site doesn’t offer power access, we can also provide generator rentals for a small additional fee.

Common delivery areas: Marinwood Park(San Rafael), Miwok Park (Novato), Boyle Park (Mill Valley) , Hellman Hollow (formerly Speedway Meadow), and many more!

What If My Yard Has a Slope?

Some slopes are totally fine — many backyards or parks in the North Bay aren't perfectly flat. For safety, we do require a relatively level area for proper setup and stability. However, if it's a ‘drainage’ slope, that is perfectly fine!

Not sure if your yard will work? Send us a quick photo or video. Our team will review and help you figure out the best placement or suggest alternative inflatables like slim bounce combos or narrow obstacle courses that may fit better.
