How to Prepare Your Space for a Bounce House or Soft Play Package

You may be wondering, does my yard have what it takes to set up a bounce house or soft play package from Party Baby? Should I rent out a space at the local park? What do I need to do before they arrive to set it up? We’ve got all the details here on how you can prepare for your dream event!


We Can Set Up Just About Anywhere!

Here are some creative places we’ve set up our bounce houses and soft play package for parties and playtime:

  • Living room
  • Basement
  • Covered carport
  • Garage
  • Backyard/lawn
  • Parks
  • Event center
  • Gymnasium

Set-Up Preparation for an Indoor Event

In order to properly set up the playspace, we require:

  • Set up area on grass, concrete, pavers, and wood or trex decks (not dirt, gravel, bark or sand).

  • Set up area is completely FLAT.

  • Grass is cut short.

  • Ground is dry (morning dew is unavoidable and fine). If in your own yard, please avoid turning on sprinklers for 24-hours before to ensure ground is solid. Excessive rain prior to the event may cause problems and an alternate space is encouraged.

  • Ground is clear from any debris and animal waste

  • Power source is within 5 feet (for bounce houses). Extension cords will not be used for safety reasons.

  • Enough room to accommodate the entire playspace (please inquire for dimensions on specific packages), with extra room on each side to keep it safe.

  • Any necessary permits or reservation requirements to be taken care of by the event organizer. Please reserve the space well in advantage to allow yourself enough time to complete their requirements.

If hot & sunny:

We highly recommend you secure a shaded spot or rent a tent canopy as the equipment can get hot to the touch, especially for little ones.

If rain/bad weather:

We highly recommend having a backup indoor location ready to go in case set-up needs to be moved. You can also rent a tent canopy for cases of light rain. If you decide to cancel the event due to bad weather, we will give you a 12-month voucher to reschedule for another date.
