Measure the widest and longest clear area where the unit will sit. 2. Check overhead clearance for trees, rooflines, wires and low branches. 3. Measure the gate, walkway and turns from the delivery vehicle to the setup area. 4. Tell Vargas Rentals 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.
