Company Picnic and Obstacle Course Rentals near Pittsburgh

Short answer: Yes, you can rent an obstacle course, tent, tables, chairs and games for your company picnic from Sunshine Party & Event Rental, and we’ll deliver, set up and pick everything up. We serve businesses in Pittsburgh, Beaver County and Weirton, WV, within 60 miles of our base in East Liverpool, Ohio. Planning ahead gives you time to pick a date, a site and the mix you want.

We’re a family-owned company, in business since 2017 and fully insured and fully inspected in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Here’s how to plan a picnic your team will talk about.

Why plan a summer picnic now

A company picnic has a lot of moving parts: a date, a site, a headcount, food and entertainment. Asking early gives you time to get budget approval and to check your site.

Step 1: Pick the site

Where will you hold it? A company parking lot, a park pavilion, a field behind the warehouse, or a rented hall all work. Think about:

Surface. Inflatables need a flat area. Grass is easiest. Grass setup has no extra fee. On asphalt or other hard surfaces, inflatables are held down with sandbags and tents with concrete weights. Hard surfaces carry an extra charge for ballast, shown on your quote. Tell us about your lot when you request a quote.
Power. Each unit needs a nearby standard outlet. We’ll confirm power needs when you book.
Truck access. Our crew drives to the site. Tell us about steps, gates or a long carry when you book.

Step 2: Build your attraction mix

The best picnics give people a few things to choose from, so no one waits in one long line.

An obstacle course. Head-to-head races are great for teams. Our 30-foot Caution obstacle course needs about 35 ft by 15 ft of flat space and 12 ft of height. It has a bold yellow-and-black look, crawl-throughs, pop-ups and a quick slide. For bigger crowds, see all of our obstacle courses, including the 40-foot Venom rock climb slide.
A sports game. The 5-N-1 Sports World has five games in one unit. It needs about 25 ft by 25 ft and 18 ft of height. Check its page for the exact specs.
Yard games. For quieter fun, browse our interactive games.
Kids’ attractions. Bringing families? A bounce house or slide combo keeps the younger guests busy.

Every item page lists its footprint, so pick the attractions first, then check your site. Need help choosing? See our guide to choosing the right inflatable.

Step 3: Cover the crowd

People need shade, seats and snacks.

A tent. A 20×40 frame tent suits just under 100 people. For weddings of 100 or more, we recommend a 40×60 frame tent so there’s room for a head table. See our tent seating charts for the numbers.
Tent space and surface. We need 10 feet of extra room on all sides. Grass setup has no extra fee. On a parking lot or other hard surface, tents are held with concrete weights. Hard surfaces carry an extra charge for ballast, shown on your quote.
Tables and chairs. See our table and chair rentals.
Snacks. Add a popcorn machine or cotton candy machine.
Restrooms. For a larger group, see our portable restrooms and hand washing stations.

Step 4: Plan for safety and weather

An adult 18 or older must supervise whenever an inflatable is up. Pick your supervisors ahead of time, and rotate them so they get to enjoy the picnic too.

Inflatables come down at 15 mph sustained wind or 20 mph gusts. We wait 30 minutes after the last lightning strike. Very light rain is usually fine; in heavy rain, inflatables are stopped, and we decide when conditions are unsafe. Have a backup plan, like a tent for the food and games that stay dry. Ask us about weather options when you book.

Step 5: Book and pay

Send your date, site address and headcount, and we’ll build the quote. Schools, churches and businesses can pay with a purchase order on Net 30. Inflatables and tents are delivery only, and we set up and take down everything. We confirm delivery and pickup times when you book.
