What should I measure before booking?
- Measure the widest and longest clear area where the unit will sit.
- Check overhead clearance for trees, rooflines, wires and low branches.
- Measure the gate, walkway and turns from the delivery vehicle to the setup area.
- Tell Brazos Bounce whether the surface is grass, concrete, asphalt or pavers so the correct anchoring can be planned.
How do I choose between a bounce house and a slide?
A classic bounce house is a simple fit for younger children and smaller spaces. A combo adds a slide and works well for mixed ages. Water slides need more length and overhead clearance, while an obstacle course is a strong choice when older children need a race-style activity. Open each live product link above to compare its published dimensions.
Common bounce house sizing questions
How many kids fit in a standard bounce house?
Match the unit to your guest count and your clear ground area. Up to eight children usually fits a standard bounce house needing about 17x17 ft; 8 to 15 children suits a combo with a slide at about 20x25 ft; 15 to 30 children fits a 17 to 22 ft water slide at about 25x40 ft; and 30 or more calls for a dual-lane slide or 50 ft obstacle course at about 30x60 ft.
How much clearance do I need around a bounce house?
Leave a few feet of clear space on every side of the published footprint for safe access, anchoring and the blower, and check overhead for trees, rooflines, wires and low branches. The delivery path from the truck also needs to clear your gate and any tight turns.
What should I measure before booking a bounce house?
Measure the widest and longest clear area where the unit will sit, the overhead clearance, and the gate, walkway and turns between the delivery vehicle and the setup area. Also note whether the surface is grass, concrete, asphalt or pavers so the correct anchoring can be planned.
How do I choose between a bounce house and a water slide?
A classic bounce house suits younger children and smaller spaces. A combo adds a slide and works well for mixed ages. Water slides need more length and overhead clearance and are the summer favorite in Richmond, Sugar Land & Fort Bend County. An obstacle course suits older children and race-style activities.
Can a bounce house be set up indoors?
Often yes, in a church hall, gym or similar space, provided the ceiling clears the unit's published inflated height and the doorway clears the deflated roll. Indoor setups use weights rather than stakes, so tell us the venue when you reserve.
Do the published dimensions include the blower and stakes?
No. The dimensions on each product page describe the inflated unit. Plan for additional room beside the unit for the blower and its power line, and for the anchoring points around the perimeter.
