Which inflatables work at a Middle Georgia trunk-or-treat?

A good trunk-or-treat setup is usually one themed bounce house, like our Pumpkin Bounce, plus a quick game or an obstacle course for the bigger kids, all set up away from the cars and the candy line. Wow Inflatables delivers within about 60 miles of Forsyth, GA 31029, and our booking records show more than 90 October jobs since 2024 and more than 40 October setups on pavement since 2017.

Trunk-or-treat terms: base rental, anchoring plan, COI

Trunk-or-treat
A Halloween event where families hand out candy from decorated car trunks, usually in a church, school, or community parking lot.
Base rental
The price you see for a unit on our booking page, for one event day. Delivery and your county's sales tax get added at checkout.
Approved anchoring plan
How the manufacturer says a specific inflatable has to be held down on a specific surface, like stakes in grass or approved ballast on pavement.
Certificate of insurance (COI)
Proof of insurance from our insurance company. A church, school, or venue may ask for one before it says yes to an inflatable. Our inflatable rental insurance certificate guide walks through it.
$50 deposit
The payment at checkout that holds your equipment for your date. Once it goes through, those units are yours for the day.

Which inflatables fit a church or school trunk-or-treat lot?

Little kids need their own space to play, and older kids usually want a game of their own. Whatever you pick, point the entrances away from where cars drive, where the food line forms, and where the candy line runs. The prices below are base rental prices from our booking page.

EquipmentBase rentalWhere it fitsPlan for
Pumpkin Bounce$165Younger kids and steady free play between trunksA level area, blower power, and an adult at the entrance
Haunted House of Bounce$199A Halloween-themed bounce house for the play areaThe same planning as the Pumpkin Bounce: a level spot, anchoring, and an adult watching

Setting up on pavement, grass, or indoors for a trunk-or-treat

Measure the open space you can actually give us, not the whole lot. Each inflatable needs extra room around it for the blower, the anchors, the way in and out, and an adult watching the line. Keep an emergency lane open, too.

On pavement, the first question is how that exact unit gets anchored. We only use sandbags or ballast when the manufacturer allows it, and a parked car or weights from home won't do the job. Indoors, measure the height under the lights, beams, and fans, and make sure the unit can get through the loading door and around any hallway corners. Our guide to bounce house on concrete, grass, or indoors is worth a read before you pick a spot.

If it's at a school or church, check with them on where we can unload and what time we can get in.

Power and pickup for an evening trunk-or-treat

Parking lots often don't have an outlet close enough to the setup. If there's no power you're allowed to use, or it's too far away, add a generator. Our Generator - 3 rents for $60 and Generator - 4 for $85, and an Event Attendant is $35. Generators always stay outside, more than 20 feet from windows, doors, and vents, which is what the CDC recommends. Our post do I need a generator for a bounce house explains more.

When you book, tell us your start time and when you'd like us to pick up. For churches, schools, and community venues, we'll work out the delivery and pickup times with you.

Wind, thunder, and the 15 mph stop on October evenings

Every inflatable has a manufacturer's plate that lists its wind limit. If the plate doesn't set a lower number, we stop at 15 mph sustained wind. If you hear thunder, get everyone off and into a solid building. The National Weather Service says to wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before anyone goes back on. Before you announce a rain plan, take a look at our bounce house wind guide and our cancellation and reschedule policy.

Trunk-or-treat inflatable questions

Can a bounce house go on a church or school parking lot for a trunk-or-treat?

Sometimes. It depends on whether that exact unit can be anchored safely on pavement, and we only use sandbags or ballast when the manufacturer allows it. Before you book, tell us what the surface is, how much open space you have, and where cars will be driving.

Can trunk-or-treat inflatables be set up indoors if it rains?

Yes, if the space works for the unit you pick. The floor, the height under lights and beams, the loading door, the hallway turns, and the exits all have to fit. The manufacturer's anchoring rules still apply indoors. In November 2025 we set up our Obstacle Course — RYB inside a Meriwether County church.

Will Wow pick up after a trunk-or-treat that ends after dark?

Tell us your start time and the pickup time you'd like. For churches, schools, and community venues, we'll set the delivery and pickup schedule together. For rentals at a private home, events can't start before 9 a.m., and we don't pick up after dark.

What wind speed stops an inflatable at an outdoor trunk-or-treat?

The manufacturer's plate on the unit sets the limit. If the plate doesn't set a lower number, we stop at 15 mph sustained wind. Thunder or a severe weather warning also means stopping, and our crew makes the call based on conditions at the site.

Quick recap for your trunk-or-treat

  • Halloween falls on a Saturday this year (October 31, 2026), so many groups may want the same date. It's worth booking early.
  • One themed bounce house plus a quick game works well. Keep both away from the cars and the candy line.
  • On pavement or indoors, the exact unit needs an approved way to be anchored.
  • Figure out power early. If no outlet you're allowed to use reaches the setup, add a generator.
  • The Pumpkin Bounce is $165 and the Basketball Shoot is $75, and a $50 deposit holds your equipment.
