Solo Pick Up 18ft Water Slide Double Lane - Bounce House Business

[@SharpnessSword]

A bold move to post this. It has been hot out here... Good luck keep up the good work

[@nick_o_glass]

The go pro over heated twice and I had to shoot a bunch from my phone with no tripod. Haha. It was a mess and was SO HOT dude.

[@SharpnessSword]

@@nick_o_glass last week I threw up in my mouth from the heat bro, I'm feeling it too

[@Aron-hc6zj]

Do you supply 100 ft hoses to attach to the customers house? Where do you store the hoses by pickup?

[@nick_o_glass]

50ft. 100 are so long it’s wild.

[@nick_o_glass]

And they stay on the slide forever and ever

[@kevinedco]

Glad to see you back Nick! We always detach our pools from the slide when we pickup, is that a bad move?

[@nick_o_glass]

Thanks!! It’s a lot more work so think about 20 waterslides getting picked up on a Sunday…yeah bad move. If you have 3 slides, no biggie. Also, imagine you’re not there for any of the 20…real bad move! Work to scale.

[@MrDrumz]

What are the shoes you use for water slides? Is it doable to maneuver +300lbs water slides, combos and obstacle courses without an electrical dolly? Should be ok as long as I get the 750lbs capacity 4 wheel Dolly?

[@nick_o_glass]

Xtra tuff boots. Yes but it wears you out

[@MichaelCGatesMusic]

How is your back? I do 550+lbs with a standard two-wheel dolly. I would NOT recommend it. I'm 46, and the back is killing me. Just got XRays. Next, I'm getting a power dolly--should I continue to do this.

[@MrDrumz]

@@nick_o_glass Appreciate the information! 🙏🏼 Keep grinding and posting for the inflatable rental community! I’m 24 years old from Iowa and just started my business back in March and I appreciate you for all the help plus the videos!

[@MrDrumz]

@@nick_o_glass Do you ever put apple AirTags in the inflatables for insurance if property is ever stolen?

[@MrDrumz]

Where’s the link for the questions?

[@Aron-hc6zj]

Do. You supply the customer with a hose? How do you store the hoses?

[@nick_o_glass]

Yes. They stay on the slide FOREVER

[@Aron-hc6zj]

What I meant was 100 ft hoses to connect to their house?

[@Aron-hc6zj]

Hey Nick why don't you use a winch to roll the slides?

[@nick_o_glass]

Too slow!!!

[@Aron-hc6zj]

Did u ever try using a deflator?

[@nick_o_glass]

Yep I made one from a bucket! It’s ok. Not that special tbh

[@SharpnessSword]

Last weekend the competition and i both showed up at the same house at the same time

[@nick_o_glass]

Hahaha that happened to us 4 weeks ago

[@AlexMartinez-rt7hb]

Have you ever tried rolling from back toward the pool? I find it a lot easier.

[@nick_o_glass]

I hate it! Lol. We’ll do that if the slide is flooded at the front though.

[@MichaelCGatesMusic]

Haha, it's really fun when you show up, and unroll it the wrong way. Did that this weekend from a flooded slide.

[@SharpnessSword]

Rolling straps just seem like extra time. But whatever means you don't get heat stroke.

[@nick_o_glass]

My guys only use them on big stuff we solo like this, on flooded stuff, and in any other sketchy situation. When I’m out there I use them on all 22ft stuff man, extra 60 secs to save yourself is totally worth it!

[@KingTintDetail]

I use them. They don’t take long to set up. 1 minute and gives you better leverage

[@angieramirez5642]

You dont need specialized straps. Regular straps will do the trick too. But Nick, why dont you use the motorized dolly to roll that waterslide? Just attach the straps via a ratchet, hook it to the dolly and just let it do all the work.

[@nick_o_glass]

Slower! And my straps are lighter and easier to use/transport, therefore FASTER

[@SharpnessSword]

Biggest i have soloed was a 27 with a slip

[@nick_o_glass]

Dual lane or single lane?

[@SharpnessSword]

@@nick_o_glass single, but it's all relative, I feel like the older slides were lighter tougher and easier to roll

[@MichaelCGatesMusic]

#NotWithoutAPowerDolly :) I do this with a regular dolly. Pain in the butt. My back hates me. But I'm 250lbs.

[@nick_o_glass]

$5k motorized is worth every nickel
