Clear vehicle access so we can tow the trailer to your setup location. We require a flat surface approximately 20ft long x 10ft wide. Driveways, parks, parking lots and event venues all work great. Grass works too as long as it is not muddy and relatively level.
Access to a standard outdoor electrical outlet for battery charging. No outlet available? Let us know when booking and we will work something out.
We arrive 45 min-1 hour before your event start time for setup. Breakdown takes about 30 min after the session ends.
-
Yup! As long as there is enough ceiling clearance and floor space. Indoor venues, warehouses and event halls all work well. Contact us to discuss your specific venue.

Light rain? No problem! We can operate under a canopy.
Heavy rain or severe wind? We reschedule at no charge. We monitor weather closely and will always contact you in advance if conditions are a concern.
-
Absolutely! All RC equipment and controllers are sanitized between every event. Sand is groomed and maintained regularly. Full sand replacement is performed on a scheduled basis.
