Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are your rental rates and how long can we keep the equipment?

A: A standard contract stating the terms and conditions of the rental is required. We require a 50% deposit on all equipment at the time you make your reservation and the other 50% is due upon set-up.
Q: How far in advance should I book to ensure that I get the piece that I want?
A: There is no time frame for booking but the further in advance will increase your chance of getting the dates you want. We appreciate as much advance notice as possible but we will also work with last minute requests as well.

A: We require a 24 hour notice to cancel any reservation, in which your deposit if fully refunded. If there is a 50% chance of rain or greater we will contact you the morning of the event to discuss rescheduling. Please note that if equipment is set-up and it rains the full amount is due.
Q:What kind of surfaces can the inflatables be set up on? Can they be set up inside?
A:The equipment can be setup on grass, asphalt, or any flat surface that does not contain rocks or other debris that could puncture the inflatable. The inflatables can be set up inside as long as there is adequate space. The measurements of each piece of equipment is posted on the website.
Q:What are your weekly hours of operation?
A:We provide fun any day at any time!
Q: Are the inflatable units safe and do you have insurance?
A: All of our moonwalks and other inflatable units are of the highest quality, but require the supervision of an adult at all times to ensure the safety of the children. Yes, Charleston Fun Factory is fully insured for general liability coverage. We are only responsible for our own negligence; not yours. This statement in no way implies legal responsibility. In reserving your Bounce house you will be required to sign a rental agreement and "Release and Assumption of Risk" form that lists specific terms and conditions of the rental.
Q: Are the inflatable units clean? Do we have to clean the equipment before pick up?
A:Our equipment is cleaned with a disinfecting agent and pressure washer after each use. We do not require the unit to be cleaned before pick-up however, since you will receive a list of general rules in the contract, any food, drink stains or not following any other listed rule of this nature will result in a minimum $35.00 clean-up fee at the time of pickup. The inflatable will be inspected before its packed up at your location.
Q: How long does the average set up take?
A: We will arrive to your party at least 30 minutes prior to allow for set-up time. The larger waterslides take the longest but with our experience we will allow sufficient time for set-up and you will also be informed of set-up times in your contract.
Q: How much space do I need to set up the inflatable?
A: 20' x 20' is more than big enough for the standard bounce houses. Slides require 36 feet by 18 feet. Combos require 36 feet by 18 feet.
Q: How much power is needed and do we need to have extension cords/water hoses?
A: Ideally, the blower should be located within 50 feet but not more than 100 feet of a standard electrical outlet. We provide everything needed to make your party a succes but an area that has been cleared of any debris or pet droppings will keep the setup process quick and efficient.
Q: What if we don’t have power for the equipment?
If there is no power at the location, we have generators that can be rented for flat rate of $50.
Q: Is the mechanical bull safe for all ages?
Yes! This bull can be set to different speeds to accomodate for little kids or for adults! It is our operator's job to provide every bull rider with a great memorable experience, not to throw everyone off. You will have a great time with “Bucky” the Bull!
Q: How much power is needed to run the mechanical bull?
A: The mechanical bull requires two seperate 20amp circuits. We can provide a generator for the bull if necessary at an additional cost of $50.
