The 5 things we wish we knew before buying our first bounce house

1. Buy commercial-grade vinyl (18 oz+), not residential units. 2. Get liability insurance BEFORE your first rental. 3. Budget for a blower backup and sandbags. 4. A combo unit (bounce + slide) books more than a plain bounce house. 5. Cleaning time is real — plan 30–45 minutes per unit after every event. What would you add?
