Do you service my area, and is there a delivery charge?
Party
Rental Solutions is located in
Maryville Tennessee and offers
free delivery within a 25 mile radius of Maryville Tennessee. We do service
other areas, though some may incur a delivery charge. For
more information please see our delivery policy.
Can I pick the inflatable bouncer or slide up at
your location, and set it up myself?
For safety reasons, all of
Party Rental
Solutions inflatable's must be set up and taken down, by a representative of
Party
Rental Solutions. Due to the sheer size of our bouncers (some are 300 plus
pounds), no customer pick ups are permitted. Besides, it's best to
leave the work to us.
How big are these bouncers?
Each bouncer is 15 foot by 15 foot (15x15).
How big are inflatable slides, and how much room do I
need to rent one?
Our inflatable slides measure 25 feet in length, 11 feet wide,
and are 18 feet high. To ensure that you have proper clearance for a
slide, make sure that the area where you would like to setup is at least
30x15 with at lease 24 feet overhead clearance.
How many children can bounce at a time?
As a general guide line:
Ages 2 to 8 ....... 8 to 10 children (depending on size)
Ages 9 to 12 .......6 or 7 children
Ages 13 to 16 .....4 to 6 children
However keep in mind that compatible sized children MUST play on the
unit at the same time, REGARDLESS of age. Different sized children must
not be mixed. Please remember, the above is a guideline only. It all
depends on the size of the children, and how active they are. Toddlers
you can get more in, since they are smaller, and less "bouncy." If it's
all girls, then you can have more in there. All boys, the number may be
less. Boys tend to be a bit, ..... well ....., yeah, a bit like boys.
Remember, you want to keep them safe. If needed, split them into groups.
Give each group ten minutes in the bounce house.
What kind of area can bouncers or slides be set up in?
You will need a somewhat flat grassy area that is
clean of debris (sticks, stones, mud, etc.), tree roots, or pet waste.
If you do have a sprinkler system, please advise us before setting up.
For proper clearance, you will need at least a 20x20 area, with
clearance overhead (no power lines, trees, branches, overhangs, etc.) of
20 feet. An electrical outlet needs to be within 100 feet. If you do
not have an electrical outlet nearby, a generator will be required. We
also rent generators.
Can inflatable bounce houses or slide be setup on
pavement (i.e. cul-de-sacs) or driveways?
Yes. Hard surfaces must be smooth and clean.
Rough concrete surfaces are too abrasive to the bottom of the
inflatable.
Does the blower have to run all the time?
Yes, the blower keeps the inflatable bounce house
or slide inflated. As long as all riders have exited safely, the blower
can be unplugged to deflate the bouncer or slide. This is sometimes
necessary to give the adult supervisors a break and to let the children
take a breather.
How far in advance do I need to reserve a bouncer?
ASAP! As soon as you have a confirmed date for
your party, we highly recommend that you book your bouncer for that
date. Don't wait! There's nothing worse than getting your party
organized, then calling up to book a bounce house or slide, and finding
that none are available. There is nothing we hate worse than having to
turn someone down. However, it happens. If this happens, at best, all we
can do is refer you to one of our partner companies, or put you on
standby, in the event of a cancellation. Why not just avoid the stress,
and book it now. We can book as far as one year in advance.
If you have a last minute plans to rent a bounce house, if you've just
found out about us, or if your other company is giving your grief, give
us a call anyway. We can't promise anything, but a lot of times we've had
those last minute bookings and were able to get to the party on time.
You never know, unless you call us.
I've heard they are dangerous. How safe are bounce
houses?
Bounce houses are very safe, as long as all the
rules are followed and common sense is used. Bumps and bruises
occasionally can be expected. However, most people have a misconception
about bounce houses, and think of them as a "baby sitter." Rent a bounce
house, and the adults can be left alone. WRONG! Most of the injuries are
caused by or happen to unsupervised children. Just as you would not
leave children unattended in a swimming pool, do not leave children
unattended in a bounce house. They must be supervised at all times, and
the rules must be enforced! It will keep the children entertained for
hours though, and they will sleep that night!
Why are adults not allowed in the bounce houses or
slides?
With older kids (teens) and adults, more serious
injuries occur with long recovery times. Bumps and bruises can be
expected in a bounce house. Children typically get bumps and bruises.
They remember that bump or bruise for, ummm, all of about 30 seconds. If
your like me, your still feeling it three days later! Adults end up with
ruptured disks, back, head and knee injuries and have families depending
on them for income. Yes, we would all love to be seven or eight again.
Mentally some of us are, but physically ......... it can be serious.
Adults will not harm or damage the bouncers. It's always the other way
around. Any adults trying to be eight years old again, you are doing so
at your own risk!
What kind of deposit is required?
At this time, we do not require a deposit.
What method of payments can I use?
We accept cash, checks (made payable to "Party
Rental Solutions"
please), Visa and MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Please
note that there is a $35 NSF fee
on all returned checks.
What if it rains?
For safety reasons, we cannot put bouncers up in
the rain. If we don't put the bouncer up, then there's no charge. If
the weather looks like it may turn foul, then we reserve the right to
cancel the rental, reschedule, or terminate the rental early (with a
refund of course). Refunds will be based on amount of time used
(prorated). Again, safety is our main concern, followed by your
satisfaction. Bouncers and bad weather don't mix.
If the weather looks like it's taking a turn from
good to bad or looks questionable, and you decide to cancel, please call
us as soon as possible.
What do I need to do to reserve a bounce house?
- Set your party date and time
- Pick out a level grassy area, 20x20 with at least 20 foot
overhead clearance (no branches or power lines). Make sure it's
within 100 feet of a power source. Slides require a 15x30 area with
24 foot overhead clearance.
- Call us at
865-250-3933.
We will need your name, address, zip code, telephone number, date
and time of party, time of desired delivery.
- Send out the invites, and be sure to put in there that
there will be an inflatable bounce house moonwalk from
Party Rental
Solutions
Bounce House Rentals!
- The day prior to your scheduled rental, we will call to
confirm and to give you an estimated delivery time of when we will
be there.
Reason we ask for time of delivery and time of
party? We try and accommodate everyone, and may need to adjust the
delivery time based on that days deliveries. We ask for the time of the
party, to ensure that we have the bounce house setup in plenty of time
for your party.

would like more information, then give us a call, or email us at |
