We are based in Albany, 62 miles from Winsted, and we have been hauling chairs around this county long enough to know which weekends disappear first. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Winsted is about 62 miles out from Albany — roughly 85 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. This far out, we will tell you plainly whether delivery makes sense for your headcount, or whether you are better off towing.
Winsted has around 2,228 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. Winsted events tend to happen in the places a town this size actually has: the church hall, the community centre, the ball field, somebody's shop.
We cover Winsted as part of a run through McLeod County that also takes in Howard Lake, Silver Lake and Waverly, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Renting per chair per day is how a two-day party quietly becomes a four-figure invoice. We rent the trailer instead. If your weekend is already taken we will say so straight away, not after you have planned around us.
Two of them are water slide parks and one is a classic bounce house with a slide — all three rent to Winsted for the weekend, quoted per unit.
A bounce area, a double slide, two splash pools and water cannons, all in one footprint. This is the one for a birthday where you want the kids busy for the whole afternoon.
A double water slide that lands in a splash pool, with a cannon. Smaller footprint, same effect on a hot July Saturday.
A house-shaped bouncer with a slide out the side and a shallow pool at the bottom. Runs dry or wet, which makes it the one that works in May and September too.
A reasonably flat patch of grass with a few feet of clearance on every side, an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet for the blower, and for the water units a garden hose that reaches. Every unit comes with its blower and ground stakes, and it has to be staked before anyone goes in — Minnesota wind is not something to guess at. If you are not sure your Winsted yard works, describe it in the booking form and we will tell you honestly.
Delivery and setup are available, and quoted with your booking. Say what you would like in the form.
Most Winsted 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 quoted for the weekend, chairs and tables loaded, and booking both at once means one form and one schedule to keep track of.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Winsted is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
We can. Say so in the booking form and delivery and setup are quoted with the rest of your Winsted booking. Every unit comes with its blower and ground stakes either way.
A reasonably flat patch of grass with clearance around it, an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet for the blower, and for the water slides a garden hose that reaches. Describe your yard in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.
About 62 miles from Albany, roughly a 85-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. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Winsted, which is 62 miles from Albany.
A chair or two out of {chairs} is wear and tear, not a problem. Real damage — a cracked seat, a bent table leg — is billed after return at the replacement cost on the rental agreement. There is no separate damage deposit.
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.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
