Frequently Asked Questions
What are the inflated dimensions of the Dolphin Dip Water Slide?
When fully inflated, the Dolphin Dip measures 22 feet long, 11 feet wide, and 12 feet tall. Plan a setup footprint of at least 26 ft × 15 ft to allow for safe perimeter clearance around the base and slide exit.
How many riders can use this slide at one time?
The Dolphin Dip has a rated capacity of 4–6 riders on the inflatable at one time. For the slide lane itself, riders should go one at a time in sequence — the next rider enters the climb only after the previous rider has cleared the bottom landing area.
Is the blower included with purchase?
Yes — one electric blower is included with every Dolphin Dip Water Slide. It connects to a standard household electrical outlet. No additional equipment is needed to inflate the unit upon delivery.
Can this slide be used both indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The Dolphin Dip is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor use requires adequate ceiling clearance of at least 14 feet and appropriate drainage. Outdoor use requires a level surface, proper ground anchoring with the included stakes, and water source access.
How long does setup and teardown take?
Most operators complete full setup — unpack, stake, connect hose, inflate — in approximately 10–15 minutes. Deflation via the zipper ports typically takes 3–5 minutes. The fast turnaround cycle makes this unit efficient for multi-stop event days.
What material is this slide made from?
The Dolphin Dip is constructed with commercial-grade 18 oz PVC vinyl that is lead-free and fire retardant. Every seam is double stitched with heavy-duty, extra-strength nylon thread. Polypropylene and Nylon reinforced webbing is applied at all stress points, and Velcro-sealed zipper flaps ensure secure, easy deflation.
What is included in the package?
Each Dolphin Dip Water Slide ships complete with the inflatable unit, one electric blower, a ground tarp, storage bag, stake anchors, repair kit with PVC patch material, and a user manual. Everything you need to begin renting is in the box.
Is this slide ASTM compliant?
Yes. The Dolphin Dip Water Slide is manufactured to comply with ASTM commercial inflatable safety standards. All materials are fire retardant and lead free. Safety warning signage is included on every unit to support responsible commercial operation.
Can this slide be used dry without water?
This unit is designed and optimized as a water slide. Dry use is not recommended, as the slide surface relies on water flow for smooth, safe sliding. Running the slide dry may increase friction and reduce rider safety. Always operate with a connected water source.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
Beyond Tent provides a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, improper storage, accidents, vandalism, or normal wear on zipper components. Contact sales@beyondtent.com for warranty service.
How does this slide ship?
The Dolphin Dip Water Slide ships via LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight, palletized and secured for safe transit. Estimated delivery is 7 to 10 business days from order confirmation. Signature upon delivery is required. Contact us at 866-296-3868 to coordinate delivery scheduling.
What types of events is this slide best suited for?
The ocean dolphin theme and compact footprint make this slide a top choice for birthday parties in the 4–12 age range, school field days, HOA summer events, church carnivals, summer camps, and community water days. Its themed design drives social media sharing, which generates organic bookings for operators.
