3 Tips for Mechanical Bull Rental

May 2, 2019

Renting a mechanical bull for your next get together or party is a great way to make it a memorable and fun event. Adding a mechanical bull can give your guests something fun to do while also adding to your theming. There are some things to keep in mind before renting a bull for your event however, let’s take a look at them.

Space

One of the most important things you need to plan for and take into account before renting a mechanical bull is whether or not your venue has space for one. The mechanical bull requires 20 feet by 20 feet of space, and at minimum a 10 foot ceiling clearance. If you have already selected a venue you’ll need to make sure that they bull can fit within the dimensions of the space. Maybe there is a dancefloor area you can use, or perhaps you can limit the size of the buffet. If you haven’t selected a venue yet but know you’d like a mechanical bull at your event, working with the venue to make sure you end up with a space that will be big enough

Time

If you are renting a venue you’ll also need to make sure you will have time in the space for set up and tear down of the mechanical bull. The typical set up for the mechanical bull is an hour, so you’ll need to be sure you have at least an hour to set up in your space. Work with your venue on timing to ensure you have enough time both before and after the event.

Power

And finally, the bull requires power to run, and needs to be run off of a 220V line. Because this type of line generally runs things like ovens there is a good chance your venue will have one, but it is important to check ahead. If the venue doesn’t have a 200V line available, you can likely use a generator provided by the bull rental company, so long as they know ahead of time to bring one.

Having a mechanical bull at your next event can make it memorable for you and for your guests. Mechanical bulls can be a great addition in almost any setting, as long as certain requirements such as space, time, and power needs can be met.
