FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
- How
much room do I need to rent a slide
or bounce?
You
will need to provide a level area that
is large enough for the inflatable
unit and that will allow ample room
all the way around the unit. The necessary
room
varies depending on the particular
unit(s) rented. These are shown on
our Inflatables page.<TOP>
- Is
insurance and state inspection important?
Yes!
It is illegal to operate an inflatable
ride in the State of Ohio without insurance
and the proper permit, including an
annual inspection by state inspectors.
Permits are issued by the Department
of Agriculture. All legitimate rental
businesses in Ohio obtain the proper
permit. Contact the Ohio Department
of Agriculture, Division of Amusement
Ride Safety to insure that a rental
company is licensed. <TOP>
- Can
the inflatable be set up on a driveway,
parking lot, or indoors?
Inflatables
can be set up on hard surfaces as
long as the proper
clearances are met. The units cannot
be set up on any rough surface (gravel,
etc.).<TOP>
- What
are the power requirements for each
inflatable?
Each
inflatable must have a dedicated 10
amp circuit within 50 feet of the unit.
A standard 110 volt outlet is used
to power the units. <TOP>
-How
many children can play in the bounce
house at one time?
Generally
speaking, 5-8 children can play inside
a bounce at one time. It depends on
the size of the children. <TOP>
- How
safe are the inflatable rides?
When
used properly, inflatable rides are
very safe. These units are inspected
each year by the
Ohio Department of Agriculture to insure
proper safety procedures are being
followed. Proper adult supervision
will provide a fun
and safe time.<TOP>
- What
if the weather is bad?
We
will not setup the unit(s) in high
winds (>20 MPH) or rain. Apex Amusements
reserve the right not to setup any
inflatable unit if severe weather is
expected or present. Once a unit is
setup, no refunds will be given due
to weather. There is no penalty for
cancelling due to weather.<TOP>
- What
preparation do I need to for the rental?
Make
sure there is a dedicated 110 volt
outlet available within 50 feet of
each rental site. Inspect the area
where the unit(s) are to be setup making
sure there are no sticks, rocks, sprinklers,
and other debris around the site.<TOP>
- What
is a "dedicated circuit"?
A
dedicated circuit means that no other
appliance is also using the
circuit. Failure to provide a dedicated
circuit may result in blowing the breaker
and having the inflatable deflate.<TOP>
