How Much Yard Space Does a Bounce House Need?

By Jordan Reyes 1 min read
How Much Yard Space Does a Bounce House Need?

The most common question we get on the phone is whether a bounce house will fit. Here is the quick way to check your yard before you book.

Measure the footprint, then add room

Every rental lists its size. Add about five feet on every side for the stakes, the blower and a safe walkway. A 15 by 15 bounce house really needs a flat spot around 25 by 25.

Look up, not just across

Check for tree branches, power lines and roof overhangs above the spot you have in mind. Most units stand 13 to 16 feet tall.

Flat beats perfect grass

A gentle slope is usually fine, but a steep one is not. We can set up on grass with stakes, or on a driveway or parking lot with sandbags. Tell us the surface when you book.

  • Clear sticks, toys and dog mess from the area the night before.
  • Find an outdoor outlet you can reach with a heavy-duty cord.
  • Check the path from the street: gates should be at least 4 feet wide.

Not sure? Send a photo

Snap a picture of the spot and text it to us. We will tell you which rentals fit before you pay a thing.
