Ready to get started?
Every water slide rental includes professional delivery, complete setup, and post-event breakdown. The equipment arrives clean and inspected, ready for immediate use.
Southold’s summer weather makes water slides particularly popular from May through September. We stock various sizes to accommodate different yard spaces and guest counts, from compact slides perfect for smaller Southold properties to larger options for community events.
All equipment is fully licensed and insured, meeting New York state safety requirements. You receive clear safety guidelines and operating instructions, plus contact information for any questions during your rental period.
Most Southold residential properties accommodate slides between 15-20 feet long and 12-15 feet wide. You need about 6 feet of clearance on all sides for safety.
Our team evaluates your space during booking to recommend the right size. We consider your yard dimensions, overhead obstacles like tree branches, and ground conditions.
For smaller yards, compact water slides still provide plenty of fun while fitting safely in tighter spaces. We’ll walk through your specific situation to ensure you get maximum enjoyment without space issues.
Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead during peak season (June through August) to ensure availability. Popular weekend dates fill up quickly in the Southold area.
Spring and fall bookings can often be accommodated with shorter notice, sometimes just a few days ahead. However, earlier booking gives you better selection and guarantees your preferred date.
Last-minute rentals are possible depending on inventory and schedule. Call us directly to check same-week availability, especially for weekday events which tend to have more openings.
Light rain doesn’t typically cancel water slide events since guests are already expecting to get wet. However, thunderstorms or severe weather require postponement for safety reasons.
We monitor weather forecasts leading up to your event and communicate any concerns in advance. We work with you to reschedule for the next available date without additional fees.
For uncertain weather, we can often hold your rental until morning-of to make the final decision. This flexibility helps avoid unnecessary cancellations while prioritizing safety.
You provide the water source – typically a standard garden hose connection near your setup area. The slide connects to your hose with provided fittings.
Most Southold homes have adequate water pressure for proper slide operation. Our setup team tests water flow during installation and can adjust if needed.
If your water pressure seems low or you have concerns about your setup, mention this during booking. We can assess your specific situation and recommend solutions to ensure optimal slide performance.
Each slide has specific age and weight recommendations clearly posted during setup. Most water slides accommodate children ages 3-12, with some larger slides suitable for teens and adults.
Adult supervision is always required, and we provide detailed safety guidelines with every rental. These include capacity limits, proper sliding techniques, and general safety rules.
Mixed-age events work well when you establish clear usage schedules – younger children during certain hours, older kids at other times. This prevents size mismatches and ensures everyone enjoys the slide safely.
The rental price covers the slide itself, delivery to your Southold location, complete professional setup, and post-event breakdown and removal. No hidden fees for basic service.
You also receive safety instructions, operating guidelines, and emergency contact information. The equipment arrives clean and ready to use immediately after setup.
Additional costs might apply for extended rental periods, multiple slides, or delivery outside the standard service area. All pricing is discussed upfront during booking so you know exactly what to expect.
