How Big Is A Bounce House
A standard bounce house in this catalog is about 15 feet long. Water slides and obstacle courses run much longer. The table uses only the sizes makers print, and the middle value is the one half of units fall under.

Measure Your Space First
Measure the flat ground you have, then compare it to the footprint on the unit page. Leave extra room on every side for stakes, the blower and a clear exit. Look for overhead wires and branches too, since a tall slide needs open sky above it.
Check The Power
Every unit page lists the blowers its maker ships with it when the maker prints that. Most bounce houses run on one blower. Large slides and courses often need two or more, and each blower usually wants its own outlet or circuit.
