If you, your church, or your organization would like to reserve a Bounce House, please read the following information before filling out our Bounce House Request Form:
Please ensure that the following Set-up Instructions and Safety Rules are followed:
Items included: Bounce House(s), Tarp(s), Sand buckets, Stakes, and blower unit(s).
We have included all of the necessary items to set up and safely maintain the Bounce House(s) from Metrolina Baptist Association that are to be used and returned on the specified dates as agreed to. Since the Bounce Houses will be used by many churches/organizations, we ask that you take very good care of them while they are in your use and return all of the items, so they are mission-ready for the next group using them. After use but before collapsing, please sweep out and wipe down the interior/exterior using a mild disinfecting cleaner. Allow to dry completely before folding.
The Bounce House(s) is bulky and requires at least 2 people for moving and set up.
The Bounce House(s) may be placed in two ways: 1) On pavement using the tarp beneath it and anchored/secured with sand buckets or 2) On grass and anchored/secured w/stakes in the ground.
When setting up Inflatable Bounce House(s) ensure:
- You avoid setting up Bounce House(s) in areas with close proximity to trees or electrical lines since they are 15 ft. tall.
- There are no high winds.
- A tarp has been provided and should be placed on the ground to protect the bottom of the unit if using on pavement. Make sure to clear all debris from the area where the bounce house will be placed.
- The unit is to be placed on flat, dry ground, away from trees or overhead electrical lines.
- The inflatable object is secured to the ground using every anchor point provided, plus the recommended
amount of sandbags or weights. - Impact absorbing mats cover the hard surfaces to the open side(s) of the equipment, please have responsible adults overseeing the entrance/openings and bottom of slide.
- No rips or tears are visible when the unit is inflated. Otherwise, it should not be used. Contact MBA to notify us immediately.
- The unit fully inflates and isn’t sagging.
- The supervising adult covers the MBA Bounce House Safety Rules (below) with the bouncers and then enforces them.
When deflating the Bounce House(s), make sure to unzip the opposite corner from the blower connection and dispel the air by folding it. The tarp will wrap around the deflated bounce house and straps will secure it in place. Again the Bounce House(s) are bulky and take at least 2 people to appropriately manage them.
