We are a family-owned rental outfit in Albany, and St. Cloud is 24 miles up the road. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
St. Cloud is 24 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. A 30-minute tow each way is the trade for free delivery. Most people with a truck decide it is worth it.
St. Cloud is one of the larger markets we serve, with roughly 69,991 people and the rental competition that comes with that. What we compete on is the flat price and the fact that you are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. St. Cloud runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.
We cover St. Cloud as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Waite Park, Sauk Rapids and St. Augusta, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. There is no per-chair rate to do arithmetic on, and no weekend multiplier waiting at the end. Word travels in towns this size, which is the only reason we need to keep this straight.
Bounce houses are the one thing we never hand off on a trailer. We deliver to St. Cloud, place it, anchor it and test it before we leave, then come back and take it down. That is not an upsell — an unanchored inflatable is genuinely dangerous in Minnesota wind, and staking it correctly is not a job to learn on the day of your kid's birthday.
What we need from you in St. Cloud: a reasonably flat patch of grass, a few feet of clearance on every side, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet. If you are not sure your yard works, describe it in the booking form and we will tell you honestly.
Most St. Cloud bookings that start as a bounce house end up needing chairs too, because the parents who bring the kids need somewhere to sit. The trailer package is $299 for the weekend with 178 chairs and 4 tables, and booking both at once means one form and one schedule to keep track of.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to St. Cloud is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
Always. We deliver to St. Cloud, place it, anchor it and test it, then take it down afterwards. We do not let bounce houses go out on the customer-tow trailer — anchoring one correctly matters too much.
A reasonably flat patch of grass with clearance around it, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet for the blower. Describe your yard in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.
About 24 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Flat-rate delivery applies to St. Cloud, which is 24 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
Usually yes. Midweek is quieter for us than Saturdays, so extending into a Monday or picking up on a Thursday is often easier than people expect. Ask in the booking form.
It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
