What a Water Slide Needs From Your Yard
Most booking problems are space, water or power — and all three are easy to check before you call. Two minutes now saves a bad surprise on the day.
Call With Questions(413) 230-0596Water
A standard garden hose reaching the setup spot. We connect it to the slide and it runs continuously while in use. Town water or a well both work — a well just refills more slowly if you're also filling a pool.
Drainage
Water runs off the landing end and keeps going. Point that end downhill and away from the house, patios and the neighbour's yard. Expect the grass beneath and beyond it to be soaked and to stay that way a day or two.
Power
A standard household outlet within 100 feet. The blower runs the entire time the slide is in use — these units stay inflated by air pressure, not by being pumped up once. No outlet in range? Tell us when you book.
Space
Add about 5 feet clear on every side of the footprint, plus overhead room — the big towers reach 20 feet or more, so watch for branches and power lines. Slip n slides need a long, flat 45-foot run rather than height.
Surface
Grass is best and what we prefer. Pavement and packed dirt are possible but need sandbags instead of stakes, so tell us in advance. We can't set up on gravel or anything sharp.
Access
These units are heavy and roll in on a dolly. We need a clear path at least 3 feet wide from the truck to the spot — check gate widths, and unlock anything we'll need to get through.
