The Bunk House can be rented for numerous different applications and ultimately you decide what you'd like to do with it. Some potential suggestions are weddings, concerts, festivals, workforce housing, security posts, tailgates, youth tournaments, cooling / warming booths, first aid stations, nursing stations, camping / glamping and much more. If you're looking for a heated or cooled space than can be placed anywhere, consider using the Bunk House.
Our office is located in Charleston, SC and we currently serve SC, NC, and GA for events, weddings, and festivals. There is no charge for delivery within a 30-mile radius. If you are located outside the Charleston area, we'd be happy to provide a separate quote for the delivery.We also have a network of suppliers that may be able to assist outside of the SC NC GA area, and they may offer comparable packages. Feel free to give us a call to discuss the details and we'll see if we can't make it work.If you have a larger need or requirement, please give us a call to discuss. Logistically we can be anywhere in the continental US within 72-96 hours and due to the small packing size of the Bunk House, rates are much more affordable than comparable products.
The basic Bunk House comes with everything needed to be operational during your rental period. This includes the Bunk House, a "Subfloor" (protects the Bunk House from rough terrain), interior lights, a staking kit, a window air conditioner and sleeve, basic carpet, and a blower (only used to inflate/deflate). Several packages include additional furniture and the contents are listed in each section. Some color / design variation and optional accessories may be shown in the online photos. For more information give us a call to discuss. A generator is not included in the package price although one can be rented for an additional charge. See the other FAQ questions for more information.
Generators. We are happy to rent you one at an additional charge but as you may already have one that will work or power may be available onsite, we'd rather not double up on your costs.Food / Ice. We only provide the structure and would be happy to put you in touch with a caterer if needed.Flowers / Other Accessories. A listing of the components for each package is listed. There may be some variation in color and design from the online photos but feel free to give us a call to discuss.
It depends. The footprint of the Bunk House is 10ft x 12ft but the interior is 132" Wide x 105" Deep. Interior height at the walls is 6'10" and at the center is 9.5'. For tailgate purposes, we've had 6-8 people inside comfortably depending on table and chair configurations. For office spaces we recommend up to 4 desks which allows for other supplies to be added. In camping / glamping / workforce housing scenarios we recommend 2 although 4 can certainly fit. For festivals / VIP hospitality and other similar events we recommend 4-6 people.
Our Bunk House panels are sealed systems and once inflated, they become rigid and do not require additional air. When we set up the structure, we will ensure that that panels are properly inflated for the intended use. Over time there may be some normal seepage and large temperature changes (25-30F) will affect the panel pressures. If people are actively using the structure, we recommend checking the panels daily. Simply tap on the panel and ensure the panels are firm. In the unlikely event air is needed, simply plug in the blower to bring it back up to pressure. An over pressure valve located on each panel prevents the blower from exceeding limits. Under heavy snow loads more frequent checks may be warranted. Our record is 7 months without adding air and it was capable of going longer.
No. We will deliver the unit, set it up, and recover it when complete. If you intend to move the unit, please call us to discuss the intended use. It is possible but we want to ensure we do not damage any of the components and the proper technique for folding it once complete.
Feel free to call us at 888-502-2865, email us info@bunkhousestructures.com or use our Rental Contact form for more information. Pricing is dependent on the location, length of rental, and package requested.
The Bunk House measures 12FT Wide x 10FT Deep x 9.5FT High. Generally speaking we prefer to place it on flat and level surfaces that are free of debris and rough edges. It can be placed on asphalt, concrete, grass, earth, gravel, clay, or any other such surface. Before placing the house down, we do lay a "Subfloor" down to protect the bottom from sharp edges. If there are high winds expected, we will not place it underneath trees or canopies.
We’ve inflated it in as little as 6.5 minutes using the hose manifold system. When each wall is inflated independently, it takes less than 10 minutes.Depending on the package and event requirement we typically plan on 1-2 hours max. Empty Bunk Houses are ready in about 15-20 minutes once we arrive.
NOT ALL GENERATORS ARE EQUAL. To run the lights, TVs, and air conditioner we offer a 3500 - 5000W quiet inverter generator. Some 3500W generators may not be able to handle the compressor loads when cycling so please call us if that's your plan. We've tested and used many over the years and would be happy to discuss if needed. Alternatively if you have access to power from a nearby building, a simple 120V / 15A outlet will suffice.
If it's only rain, there's no reason to change a thing. The Bunk House is completely weatherproof and you can rest assured that you and your equipment will stay dry provided the windows and doors stay shut.If there are high winds however, you may want to reconsider your stay. When properly anchored, the Bunk House is safe and can withstand winds up to 65 MPH. What we don't know however is what that 65MPH wind will be blowing. The material on the Bunk House is strong, but it is possible to put holes in panel and if sharp objects come in contact with the walls or roof. We recommend that if winds are expected to exceed 35 MPH, you deflate the structure and wait till the winds subside. If flooding in your area is predicted, we recommend you cancel your plans. There is a small step to cross while entering the the Bunk House. That step is designed to handle moderate rain and runoff. If the runoff or rain comes over that step, items inside may get wet.Weather PolicyIf severe weather precludes a safe delivery and setup, we will reschedule or refund amounts for services not performed. Rain is not necessarily reason enough for reschedules or cancellations.
Simply give us a call to discuss. The Bunk House is designed to be operable without one of its walls. If a panel loses pressure there is a patch kit available that can be used to affect a temporary repair if needed. If we are nearby we will likely do it for you, otherwise if you've ever put duct tape on something, consider yourself trained.If it's something more involved like an air conditioner or generator, we will replace it as soon as we get the chance. Good news is that window units and space heaters are available at many local retail stores if in a pinch.
Smoking is not allowed inside the Bunk House. The material is CPAI-84 and California State Fire Marshall rated however but this does not mean that it won't burn.Cooking. Open flame cooking or heating is prohibited. Extreme heat may cause damage to the Bunk House panels and seals. Keep all grills 10FT away from the Bunk House at all times.Pets. While pets are allowed, damaged caused by them is the responsibility of the owner. Sharp claws may puncture the DWF panels.
CancellationsYou may cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled delivery time for a full refund. If you cancel within 48 hours but before our crew is dispatched, your reservation deposit will not be refunded.

Your deposit and other payments will transfer to the new date.If you request a change within 48 hours but before our crew is dispatched, your payments may transfer to one new date, but you will be responsible for preparation costs already incurred.
