1. Measure the required setup area
The inflatable’s dimensions and the required setup area are not the same. The setup area includes working clearance around the unit. Use the required-space measurement on the individual product page and confirm overhead clearance from trees, wires, rooflines, and other obstacles.
- Measure usable length and width, not the total yard
- Check overhead clearance
- Choose a flat setup area
- Tell us whether the surface is grass or concrete
- Keep the setup area free of furniture, toys, pet waste, branches, and debris
2. Measure the narrowest part of the access path
Measure from the delivery vehicle all the way to the setup area. A wide backyard does not help if the rolled inflatable cannot pass through the gate or around a tight corner.
4.5-foot minimum gate requirement
Good Vibes, The Waves, and Pink Vibes require a gate or access opening at least 4.5 feet wide. If the narrowest point is smaller, choose another slide or contact De Oro before reserving.
3. Prepare water and power
Water: Provide a working outdoor water source and hose access that reaches the setup location.
Power: A standard electrical outlet is required for the blower. De Oro provides extension cords up to 100 feet.
Supervision: Adult supervision is required while the water slide is in use.
4. Confirm the location before booking
De Oro Gatherings serves suitable homes, schools, churches, and other private properties. We do not deliver to or set up at public parks. Share the complete event address, surface, access details, and preferred water slide so availability and any location-based delivery fee can be confirmed.
