# Sky High Party Rentals

> Sky High Party Rentals rents inflatable **water slides**, **bounce houses (moonwalks)**, combo bounce-and-slide units, themed/character inflatables, interactive games, obstacle courses, concessions (snow cone, popcorn, cotton candy), tents, and tables & chairs for parties and events across the **Houston, Austin/San Antonio, and Dallas, Texas** metro areas. Pricing and availability are date- and ZIP-specific: a customer picks an event date and event ZIP code on a product page to get live availability and an exact price, then adds to cart and checks out online.

## For agents: start here

- [Agent instructions](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/agents.md) (also as plain text: [agents.txt](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/agents.txt)): what an agent may do here, the live tools, how a price is made, and the booking hand-off.

Tools `build_quote`, `delivery_fee`, `product_info`: a complete dated quote (item price, delivery fee, that date's minimum order, fees, total) from the same logic our chat assistant uses. `add_to_cart` and `prepare_checkout`: build a real cart (returns a `cart_id`) and get a private link that opens it at checkout on any device. 60 calls a minute per IP (cart tools 20 per 10 minutes); a 429 carries Retry-After.

## How to rent

- Open any product, choose **From/To date**, **start/end time**, and enter the **event ZIP code** to see real-time availability and the exact price, then **Add to Cart** and check out.
- Delivery and taxes are calculated at checkout from the event ZIP code.
- Every price/availability is specific to the date + ZIP — never assume a price without them.

## Per-page Markdown for agents

Append `.md` to any product or category page URL to get a clean, scoped Markdown version of that page (no nav/scripts), matching the live page content. Spanish pages (`/es/...`) work too.

- [Homepage (.md twin)](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/home.md): who we are, where we deliver, and what a rental costs.
- [Example product (.md twin)](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/houston/dunk-tank.md): a product page as clean Markdown.
- [Example category (.md twin)](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/houston/water-slide-rentals.md): a category page as clean Markdown.

## What a rental actually costs (read this before quoting a price)

Every price in our catalog and on our `.md` pages is the **item only, for the cheapest rental period**. It is not what the customer pays. Quoting it as a total is the single most common way to mislead a Sky High shopper.

A booking also includes:

- **Delivery**, charged per delivery ZIP, starting at $65. Typically $65 to $105 in Houston, $65 to $90 in Austin / San Antonio, $65 to $130 in Dallas / Fort Worth.
- **A minimum order**, which varies by delivery ZIP **and by date** ($75 to $775 Houston, $150 to $599 Austin, $150 to $975 Dallas). An order below it cannot check out, so one small item often cannot stand alone. This is date-sensitive: a weekday in Austin can carry a $500 minimum.
- **A 3% tech fee and sales tax** on the total.

Weekends and holidays cost more than weekdays on many rentals. For a real number, use the `check_availability` tool below with a date and ZIP, which returns the item price, delivery fee, that date's minimum order and the estimated total together. Everything else is an estimate.

## Why families rent from us (measured, updated 2026-09-17)

The same facts the storefront prints on its category and product pages, from booking records and Google Business Profiles. Values as of the date in this heading, in the JSON the page blocks read: https://dash.shpr.me/feeds/seo-stats/site.json

- Family owned since 2006.
- 7,902 parties delivered in the last 12 months: Houston 5,373, Dallas / Fort Worth 1,484, Austin / San Antonio 1,043, across 641 ZIP codes. These counts are booking records (orders marked processing) as of the date in this heading. The Houston warehouse line below counts drop-offs logged by our drivers through September 30, 2026, which includes paid bookings still marked pending, so its Houston number (5,632) is higher.
- 45.1% of the last 12 months' bookings came from families who had rented from Sky High before.
- Google rating 4.7 from 1,364 reviews in Houston; 4.8 from 150 reviews in Dallas-Fort Worth; 4.7 from 113 reviews in Austin and San Antonio.
- Every unit cleaned and inspected before it goes out.
- Fully insured and state-inspected.
- Warehouses: Houston, in the Oak Forest area of northwest Houston; Lancaster, TX, just south of Dallas; and Lockhart, TX, between Austin and San Antonio. Austin and San Antonio: our local base is our warehouse in Lockhart, between Austin and San Antonio. Dallas-Fort Worth: our local base is our warehouse in Lancaster, just south of Dallas.
- Houston warehouse: our central warehouse is in the Oak Forest area of northwest Houston (ZIP 77018), about 7 miles from downtown. Every Houston delivery route starts and ends there; there are no satellite yards. Our crews deliver across Greater Houston 7 days a week. In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 we made 5,632 Houston party deliveries (counted from our drivers' drop-off records) to 252 ZIP codes in 29 counties. More than half of those deliveries were within about a 30-minute drive of the warehouse, 97% within about an hour and 99.8% within about 2 hours (typical Google drive times stored on our routes, not rush hour). The warehouse sits about 5 miles from the center of where our Houston customers book, closer on average than downtown. Our busiest day was 96 Houston deliveries (November 26, 2025). We deliver within a 3-hour radius of Houston; the delivery fee and order minimum depend on the ZIP, and check_availability returns both.

## How it works

1. Pick a date and ZIP: prices and availability on every page are for your date once you enter it, and you book online in a few minutes.
2. Confirm the details: you confirm the details online before the party. We deliver on your rental date inside the window you pick on the confirmation page.
3. Delivered, set up, anchored: our crew sets up in about 20 minutes, anchors the unit and walks you through it.
4. We pick up: we pick up the same day your rental ends, usually within a few hours; overnight rentals are picked up the next morning.

Each category `.md` twin also carries that page's own numbers ("By the numbers": bookings in the metro, most booked units, lead time, busiest months; "Fit and price": price range, typical order, footprints, power, ages) and its frequently asked questions, the same list the HTML page shows.

## Product feeds for answer engines

- [OpenAI-schema feed](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/openai-products.json) (Houston; also `-austin`, `-dallas`, `-main`).
- [OpenAI product feed spec, JSONL](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/openai-feed-houston.jsonl) (also `-austin`, `-dallas`, `-main`): the same catalog in the field names of OpenAI's published feed spec (item_id, title, description, url, brand, seller_name, image_url, availability, price, star_rating, review_count), one product per line, ready for SFTP delivery. Carries `model_3d_url` (GLB) and a non-standard `model_3d_usdz_url`, because neither OpenAI's nor Google's schema has a USDZ column and an iPhone cannot open a GLB. Every row states that its price is the item only.
- Google Merchant feeds carry the same 3D as `virtual_model_link`, which OpenAI maps to `model_3d_url`.

## 3D models & augmented reality

Most rentals have a real 3D model, so a shopper can place the actual inflatable in their own yard at true scale before booking. For a 15-70ft item, "will it fit?" is usually the question that decides the sale, so offer this whenever size, space or fit comes up.

- **GLB/GLTF** - Android, desktop 3D viewers, Google Merchant `virtual_model_link`, OpenAI `model_3d_url`.
- **USDZ** - iOS AR Quick Look. iPhones cannot open a GLB, so use the USDZ on Apple devices.

Where to find them: the `models_3d` field on every product in the catalog feeds above, a "3D model / augmented reality" section in each product `.md` twin, `model_3d_glb` / `model_3d_usdz` from the `get_product` tool, and `subjectOf` -> `3DModel` in the JSON-LD on every product page.

## Photos & video

Every rental has real photos, and most have a demonstration video, so a shopper can see it before deciding. Where to find them: the `images`, `videos` and `youtube` fields on every product in the catalog feeds above, a "Photos and video" section in each product `.md` twin (direct image links with captions, and the YouTube link), `photos` and `video` from the `get_product` tool, and `image` in the JSON-LD on every product page (plus a `VideoObject` when the rental has a video).

## For AI agents: live tools (WebMCP)

In a WebMCP-capable browser (Chrome 149+), this site registers live agent tools so you can act instead of scraping the page — the fastest way to help a customer book:

- `recommend_inflatable`: **help a customer choose** when options feel overwhelming — give the guest's age (or who it's for: toddler/kid/tween/teen/adult), any theme/interest, and wet vs dry; returns age-appropriate picks (e.g. character bounce houses for young kids, slip-n-slides and obstacle courses for teens/adults — never little-kid themes for older guests). Pass the event date, hours, ZIP and a budget and it returns up to three AVAILABLE choices fully quoted (that date's price for those hours, delivery, 3% tech fee, tax, total and the deposit due) that fit the budget as a delivered total, or says none fit and lists compromises instead of quietly changing the hours. Give it the flat setup area, gate width, surface and whether water is available and it sets aside units that cannot fit (`does_not_fit`) and says why each choice suits (`why_this`). A failed quote comes back as `could_not_quote`, never as sold out. Quotes run three at a time and identical quotes are reused for two minutes; if our request guard (about 120 API calls a minute per visitor) still answers 429, the unit is listed under `could_not_quote` with a rate-limited note instead of being dropped: wait a few seconds and ask again. When the yard, gate or surface rules out every candidate, `nothing_fits` names the reason (access_too_narrow, area_too_small, indoor_not_rated) and the question to ask; the gate rule: the 51 big units whose checkout reminder asks for a 4.5 ft clearance (big slides, obstacle courses, combos, interactives) need 4.5 ft (a gate half a foot short, the common 4 ft one, is reported as tight, not refused), the Dunk Tank 5 ft, a 3 ft gate fits only the Tiny Yard series, the 3-in-1 Toddler, the 13 x 13 bounce houses, the Lil Kahuna and the 12ft Rainbow water slide, everything else 3.5 ft (4 ft is comfortable); get_product returns the product's own checkout reminders (`checkout_reminders`); Each pick carries `fit_status`: fits, needs_crew_confirmation (a 4 ft gate against a 4.5 ft reminder, a tight footprint: offer it only as subject to the crew confirming the access), needs_customer_decision (no water at the spot: hose or dry use; too few outlets: generator) or does_not_fit; `crew_confirmation_needed` and `customer_decisions` list them. Extra fit inputs: `ceiling_height_ft` (indoor) and `outlets_available`. add_to_cart takes `operating_mode` (wet or dry) and `setup_notes`; prepare_checkout hands them back as `notes_to_carry` (the checkout shows each unit's setup reminder; special instructions go in the Delivery details form after the order). The in-page tools have their own request budget (480 calls a minute per visitor), and a rate limit, if ever hit, returns `retry_after_seconds`. A comparison returns `comparison_incomplete` when no candidate could be priced (never a budget verdict then); a package whose generator could not be priced is listed under `incomplete_packages` (fits_budget null, quote_complete false), never as a choice; `quoted_for.diagnostics` names each quote's result and time; a unit needing more outlets than available carries the generator rental in its delivered total (`includes_generator`); notes given to add_to_cart show on the cart page and are pre-filled into Special instructions on the confirmation page. `get_product.video.text_alternative` says what the clip is (most are short jingles over footage of the unit in use; no spoken setup information) and points at the booking facts. `fit.space` says whether the footprint fits with about 3 to 4 ft of clear ground on every side or only tightly.
- `search_products` / `list_category` / `get_product`: find rentals (pass the event ZIP; the right metro is auto-detected). `search_products` reads a request, not only a product name: size words ("big", "tall"), who it is for ("for teens") and a budget ("under $500") rank and filter the results, and a budget is treated as a limit. `get_product` returns a curated five photos (the gallery has the rest), the video link and poster, size, the flat setup area and overhead clearance it needs, riders at a time, indoor/outdoor, power needs (outlets on separate circuits) and prices by rental length.
- `check_availability`: a complete quote for a product on a date + ZIP - exact item price, availability, the delivery fee, that date's minimum order and the estimated total. Date- and location-specific, so the catalog cannot answer it (it carries only "from" prices). The item price alone is not what the customer pays. Pass `start_time` and `end_time` (or `overnight`) when the customer has given the hours: a longer party costs more, and the quote is then the same number the cart will charge.
- `add_to_cart`, `update_quantity`, `remove_from_cart`, `apply_coupon`, `view_cart`: assemble a booking. Pass the party start and end time to `add_to_cart`: the price depends on the length of the party. `add_to_cart` never adds the same item twice: call it again with a new date or new hours to change the booking.
- `prepare_checkout`: get the cart ready to pay. Re-checks availability and returns what is saved (items, date, time window, ZIP), the price breakdown (items, delivery, fees, tax, total, deposit due today), what the customer still has to enter, and a hand-off link that opens the same cart at checkout in any browser or phone. It never pays and never places the order.
- `subscribe_email`: sign the customer up for offers + 10% off their first order.
- `get_store_info`: phone, hours, and whether a ZIP is served.

Not in a WebMCP browser? The remote MCP endpoint above (`https://mcp.shpr.me/hugo/public/mcp`) answers `build_quote`, `delivery_fee` and `product_info` from anywhere, and books without a browser too: `add_to_cart` (product, date, ZIP, hours; returns a `cart_id`, pass it again to add more items to the same party) and `prepare_checkout` (cart_id) re-checks availability and the date's minimum and returns `handoff_url`, a private link that opens that cart at checkout on any phone or computer.

Paying: with the customer's authorization an agent may finish checkout and pay on the checkout page itself (the tools stop at `prepare_checkout`; the payment form is on the page). Otherwise assemble the cart, then send the customer to the **cart page** ([https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/cart](https://www.skyhighpartyrentals.com/cart)) to review upsells and the 50%-down option, or straight to the checkout URL returned by the cart tools. The cart page reads the cart from the browser it was built in, so if you work in a browser of your own and the customer is on another device, give them the hand-off link from `prepare_checkout` instead: it carries the cart with it. Site search and email signup are covered by the `search_products` and `subscribe_email` tools above; use those rather than driving the HTML forms. See [WebMCP](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/webmcp).
