Choose a Commercial Inflatable Bounce House With Slide
When selecting a quality commercial grade bounce house, there are a few options to consider, such as the weight limit, pump, and storage. They are available with various ramp and tunnel combos, and single or double slides. Each house can have a different theme as well, as with a castle bounce house.
What are commercial bounce houses made of?The materials used to construct these playhouses are vinyl, nylon, or a combination of both. The nylon material is usually the industrial grade quality, or around 420D. Vinyl is resistant to tearing. Most of these houses will use a non-skid material on the entrance ramps, and PVC plastic pipes in areas that need support. There are plastic zippers, Velcro, and reinforced blowup and deflation portals. The materials may be treated with a fire retardant as well.
How many children can fit in a commercial bounce house?Bouncy houses use weight and internal area to determine the maximum capacity. Some common weight limits are 300, 400, and 700 pounds, and some common dimensions are 13 feet by 13 feet, 15 feet by 15 feet, and 19 feet by 15 feet. Consider the person's age when determining capacity. A bounce house can accommodate more small children than older children. Check each manufacturer's recommendations. In general, a 400-pound maximum weight house that is 13 by 13 may be able to accommodate approximately four to six children under the age of five. This same house may entertain about one to two teenagers at one time.
What is a wet/dry bounce house?Wet/dry combo bouncy houses are designed to connect to a hose to squirt and mist water in the air, on a slide, or into a pool. The house can work with or without water. Thoroughly drying the structure before storing it is recommended.
How do you deflate and store a bouncy house?Usually, one person can deflate and roll up these play houses. The general steps are:
- Stop the pump, and open the ventilation chutes and zippers around the walls.
- Fold the walls into the floor and walk on the house to push the air out.
- When the house and slide are flat, fold it in half, and fold it in half again.
- Roll the house up. The rolling will push out the remaining air.
- Once rolled, strap it and put the house into the storage bag.
