End of School & Field Day Rentals
Last week of school in New Orleans. It's hot, everyone's done, and water is the answer.
May and early June is our single busiest stretch of the year. Every school in the parish wants a field day in the same three weeks, and water slides go first.
If your last-day event is in late May, book by March. Waiting until April means taking what's left rather than what you want.
Water is the whole point
- Water slides and slip-style units. The single best purchase for a May field day in Louisiana. Kids will queue for these when they won't queue for anything else.
- Dunk tank. Teachers in the tank on the last day of school is a guaranteed crowd, and a strong fundraiser if you sell throws.
- Zorb balls and knockerballs. High energy, works wet or dry, good for upper grades.
- Obstacle courses. Two lanes turns a field day into a competition between classes.
Before you commit to water
Wet units need a working hose connection within 50 feet of the setup spot, and some need more than one hookup. Confirm your campus allows water play and that you have spigots where you want the units — not on the far side of the building. We rent hose splitters if you're short on connections.
Heat is a real planning input
- Run the event in the morning if you can. A 1pm field day in late May in New Orleans is genuinely rough on kids and staff.
- Put dry units in shade. A dark vinyl surface in direct sun gets hot enough to matter.
- Have water for drinking, not just for playing. Sounds obvious; gets forgotten.
The practical stuff
- Power: dedicated 20 amp circuit per blower within 100 feet. Fields rarely have one — we rent generators, one per inflatable.
- Water: connection within 50 feet. Splitters available.
- Access: 36 inches for a bounce house, 42 for a bigger game.
- Insurance: certificate naming your school at 4.5% of the order.
- Supervision: one monitor per unit, 200 lb per rider. Wet units get slippery — supervision matters more, not less.
Common questions
When should we book an end-of-year field day?
By March for a late-May date. This is the busiest window of our year and water slides are the first thing to go.
Do you provide the water?
No — we need a working hose at your campus within 50 feet of the setup area. We bring the splitters if you need them.
Can we do wet and dry units at the same event?
Yes, and it's usually the right call. Keep them separated so kids aren't tracking water into a dry unit.
What if it rains on field day?
Cancel at least two days out and everything paid becomes a raincheck good for three months. Inside two days it's forfeited — so if the forecast turns, call us early.
