Question 2

Can inflatable slides in Austin and San Antonio be rented for both wet and dry use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most slides are designed for wet use in the summer and dry use in cooler seasons. Families often book water slides for summer birthdays, while schools and churches rent dry slides for fall festivals, field days, and winter carnivals.

Question 3

What is your Weather Guarantee?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel or reschedule for any reason right up until our crew arrives, even the morning of, and your full payment is held as store credit that never expires toward a new date. Once we deliver and set up, if you choose to go ahead and it rains after we leave, the rental is final, since we still have to return to collect and clean it.

Question 4

What do I need for a water slide setup at my home or a park?

Accepted Answer

A standard garden hose connected to a water source with steady pressure is needed. Our crew installs the misting system. For dry setups, no hose or water connection is required.

Question 5

How do wet/dry slides stay wet during use?

Accepted Answer

Slides use a built-in misting hose that sprays water across the sliding surface, keeping it slick and safe. For dry rentals, the hose is disconnected, and the unit is safe for climbing and sliding without water.

Question 6

Can slides be set up indoors in Austin or San Antonio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry slides are frequently used indoors at schools, rec centers, and churches, especially in the winter months. Indoor setups require at least 15 ft of ceiling clearance and a wide entrance.

Question 7

Can wet/dry slides be set up at Austin or San Antonio parks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parks like Zilker Park, Pease Park, and Mueller Lake Park in Austin, and Brackenridge Park, San Pedro Springs Park, and McAllister Park in San Antonio, allow inflatables with permits. Most parks require proof of insurance, which we provide. Generators are available when outlets are not on-site.

Question 8

How much space is required for a wet/dry slide?

Accepted Answer

Slides vary, but most need 15–20 ft in width and 25–40 ft in length. Large dual-lane slides may require 40+ ft. Product pages list exact dimensions, and AR previews help confirm fit.

Question 9

How are the water slides cleaned and maintained?

Accepted Answer

Slides are vacuumed, washed with soap and water, and sanitized with EPA-approved disinfectants after each rental. High-touch areas like stairs, handles, and landings are given extra attention.

Question 10

What safety rules apply to wet/dry slides?

Accepted Answer

Only one rider per lane at a time, no flips, no roughhousing, and adult supervision at all times. For wet setups, extension cords and blowers must be kept dry.

Question 11

Can I keep the water slide slide overnight?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Overnight rentals are available. Select “8am pickup” during checkout for next-day pickup. Many schools and churches book slides overnight for multi-day festivals.

Question 12

What deposit is required for wet/dry slide rentals?

Accepted Answer

Most rentals require a 50% deposit at booking, with the balance due on event day. For large orders over $1,000 — such as school field days or church carnivals — only a 25% deposit is required.

Question 13

What is your cancellation and weather policy in Central Texas?

Accepted Answer

If weather conditions are uncertain, you may cancel before delivery for full store credit that never expires. Once the slide is set up, the rental fee applies. If rain passes during your event, towel-dry the slide and resume use.

Question 16

What should I do if wind speeds increase during my event?

Accepted Answer

If wind speeds exceed 15 mph, immediately stop use and turn off the inflatable. Even with stakes or sandbags, inflatables cannot be safely secured in high winds. A good rule of thumb: if you see trees swaying heavily or a storm is approaching, power off the blower until conditions improve.
