      Before you can actually set up a bounce house, decide what size is right for you. Bounce houses come in many different shapes and sizes, and there are several factors to consider when choosing the right size. First, decide where you are going to set up your bounce house, inside or outside. Second, think about how much space you have available. Last, consider the age of the people who will be using the bounce house

      After you decide what kind of bounce house to get, you must find the right spot to set it up. When looking for a spot to set up a bounce house, look for a large flat space free of any obstacles or anything that could puncture it (trees, other buildings, power lines). Make sure there is room around the bounce house because it will sway somewhat and the kids will want to run or walk around it as well.

      Usually, it pays to have the rental company deliver and inflate the bounce house. Many of these bounce houses are large and extremely heavy, and it takes special equipment to move and inflate them. Also, using professionals to set up the bounce house ensures it is done right. However, if you want to do it on your own, and you have a smaller version that you can move, around here is how to do it. First, position the bounce house exactly where you want it. Then unbind the bounce house and unfold it if needed. Run an extension cord or some type of power supply to the bounce house motor. Once you plug in the blower, there will be a button or a switch to turn it on. Make sure the blower is connected to the bounce house. Once you turn the blower on, it will automatically start inflating the bounce house.

      During the party, supervise children as they jump and play in the bounce house. You might want to restrict jumping immediately after the party goers consume cake and ice cream to let their little tummies settle a bit.
