Great job! The wife and I just started a business in Myrtle Beach and your video was very helpful there was a couple things that I was doing wrong that I noticed. Thank you for the video it was helpful
@@MichaelCGatesMusic it's mostly leverage and body weight. The one leg push keeps more of my own body weight on it making for a better roll. I have a horrible back so I have to be extra careful there too.
Sweet! This unit came from Jump n Jump in Fontana (909)873-8487. Take your time, don't forget to stake it down well. Remember how you unroll it because you're going to reverse that process.
Tarps are a used on as needed basis for me, the hastle-to-benefit ratio just doesn't jive for me most of the time with grass set ups. On most units I typically fold in a way that the bottom material never touches the visual parts of the jumper (no soil transfer) and the wear sustained isn't usually substantial over the 3-5 years I keep units in service. I always keep my straps under the jumper so I don't misplace them or have to make unnecessary trips back to truck because I'm a forgetful sort of guy.
Hey brother good job , look into installing a hitch on your trailer to help you roll the jumper would make the job a lot easier on you special if you are a single man job .
how much would you say someone should get paid doing this? They deliver, set up, and break down units ranging from a small bounce house to 800lb units by them self. They use their own truck and trailer as well.
Personally, I pay with a sort of a la carte schedule. $15 / stop including pickup and delivery then I'll add on $10 up to $40 depending on the unit. For delivering a standard jumper the guy's looking at $25, large slide like this one $55. then I'll add on $5 to $10 more depending on the quantity of chairs and concession machines etc. After paying for his fuel, my guy typically makes about $20 an hour if he's hustling. on top of everything he made for the day I like to kick him into additional forty or fifty bucks just as an extra thank you. The guy I have working for me right now though can't do these giant units he's only 150 pounds himself.
@@ryanwolf1938 consider that strong of a blower was not what the unit used when it was first manufactured. After they age and the seams loosen up you'll need that but you don't want to used a blower that's stronger than required because you'll speed up the stretching of those seams.
Hey there, this guy is about 500lbs. I have a couple 22' that are 660lbs. Just have to make sure they're folded right and roll slow so the air can escape.
Good job but if you want to make it a little easier at the end, here's a suggestion. Lay your ropes down underneath before you roll, when you get to the top, you'll see the straps then just grab and tie them up. That's a lot of work and this little step won't make it easy, but easier. You're welcome in advance.
where did you buy this unit. I am looking to buy my first one but can't find a place that is legit? any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
This unit came from Jump n Jump. Call Albert at (909)873-8487. Been dealing with them for 15 years. Tell him Jesse with Cucamonga Jumpers referred you.
@@jessegolem Omg! Thank you for responding. I am preparing to add these to my business next year. What is a good few to charge and any particular generator? Also do you ever have to provide water? I set up dessert and candy tables in homes and venues and rent tables and chairs (on a small scale). I just added table cloths and chair covers to my list. Now looking to add one bounce house and one water slide. I am learning not to move too fast because like you I do so much of it solo.
@@TheLifeofJenellereally not practical to supply the water.. I wouldn't plan on doing too many water slides at parks. Usually cities don't let you do that and you also don't have access to their water anyway. On generators I would get at least a 3000 watt. In my area we rent them for $75-100. You can price them at your local home Depot for rental cost.
Thank you! I just subscribed. If you subscribed and I make a video on my business with inflatables feel free to call me out on my mistakes! I am going to shout out your RU-vid channel. So helpful!!!
I have a winch system too, I'm actually doing this for exercise, lol. I figure if people flip tires for fun I can get mine doing this. I'm very careful with the back.
@@peterpiper5914 I have over 40 units, I use pulling straps too, much quicker than setting up the winch. I rolled 13 on Sunday. That would have been an extra 2 hours on my day if I set the winch up for all of them.
Great job on keeping your prices and not letting these sucker companies bringing the cost down of all that hard work. I also have a rental business and I don't bring my prices down.. people just don't know how much work these is and the back process to all these...
@@rgviper you're not wrong. The guys that can afford to put these out for $200 can't afford insurance, taxes, wages and equipment renewals. I very clearly explain to the customers that think my prices are high. On top of that, I've raised them to slow down the business, if everything is out every weekend you're too cheap.
@@jessegolem first off thank you for responding!!! I do have another question though, if you don’t mind me asking where do you think is the best place/ app or website to advertise the business? I tried OfferUp however I came to notice that everyone there wants to pay as little as possible. Any tips?
I've got 12 of these slides and 2 winches. I do what is quickest and easiest at the time. I use the winch more when I have to. When you have 10 of these in a row, nobody is trying to spend an extra 15-20 minutes a stop, plus I don't mind the exercise.
Let's see you do it by yourself after its actually rented & full of water,not when the heavy side is dry as hell & only wet where its water in the pool
This is after it's rented, if the heavy side is flooded when you roll, you either failed yourself setting it up in a way where it would be flooded or you failed yourself by not getting rid of the water before you folded it. I get it though, flooded units are horrible, we've all been there. Check out my other video where I roll up a 4' taller slide weighing an extra 150lbs without help 6 minutes faster than this one if you think your scenario. Really though, I'm just talking a little shit, most of it relies on the unit having good drains. I had a 14 ft single Lane rear load that shouldn't get any easier that had me laying in this person's yard for like 45 minutes trying to move after I was done. That's a good suggestion though maybe I'll make that video next season.
