Go to /book, pick a date on the calendar (rolling 90-day window — same-day OK if it's open), enter your info, sign the equipment waiver, and pay. That's the whole flow.

$300 flat per overnight rental, plus Spokane sales tax (~8.9%) — so about $326.70 total. The full amount is charged at booking via Stripe. A separate $150 authorization hold is placed on your card 24 hours before pickup and released after a clean return.

More than 72 hours before pickup: cancel or reschedule yourself for a full refund. Inside 72 hours: call us — owner discretion on accommodations. If we cancel for weather or equipment reasons, you get your choice of a full refund or a free reschedule.

No — $300 flat any day of the week. For Sunday events we hand off the kit Saturday 2–6 PM and you return Monday by 10 AM, still $300.

Stripe only — credit and debit cards. No Venmo, Zelle, or cash. You need to be 21+ to rent.

Elite Yard Master Plus 180" aluminum-framed screen, ViewSonic LS740HD 1080p outdoor laser projector, JBL Partybox 110 speaker, a 50 ft outdoor extension cord and 6-outlet strip, a Fire TV Stick 4K with USB-C and Lightning HDMI adapters, plus 4× 25 lb sandbags, stakes, mallet, gaffer tape, and a speaker stand.

180 inches diagonal — a true outdoor frame screen with an aluminum folding frame and a CineWhite UHD-B skin. It is not inflatable.

The JBL Partybox 110 puts out 160W with a 12-hour battery. Plenty for a typical backyard audience of 10–25 people.

One standard 120V outlet within roughly 50 ft of where you'll set up. We supply the cord and a 6-outlet strip.

Plan on about 30 minutes with two people for the first time — faster once you've done it once. You'll get a 10-minute walkthrough at pickup and a quick-start card in the case.

Yes. Indoor use is fine and we actively rent in December and January for holiday parties, kids' birthdays, and school events.

You're responsible for confirming the staking area is clear of underground utilities and irrigation. The default anchor is the four sandbags (no ground penetration). Only use the included stakes once you've confirmed the area is clear — call 811 if you need a locate.

More than 72 hours before pickup, you can cancel or reschedule yourself for a full refund. Inside 72 hours, refunds are at owner discretion based on the situation.

Yes — 12 mph sustained or 18 mph gust. Past that we cancel for safety. The 180" frame screen needs the mandatory 4× 25 lb sandbag anchor on every setup.

We place a $150 authorization hold on your card 24 hours before pickup. If the kit comes back clean, it's released same-day after inspection. Damage at or under $150 is captured from the hold using a published damage cost sheet. Damage above $150 is invoiced to the card on file.

Yes. Once you sign for it at pickup, you're responsible for the kit until return. We carry general liability and inland marine insurance on the gear, but the rental waiver puts equipment responsibility on the customer while in possession.

Yes, free on request. Check the COI box at booking — useful for HOAs, churches, school events, and corporate venues. We can usually issue same-day.

For a private backyard event with friends and family — no. For anything public (HOA community night, fundraiser, ticketed event, corporate event) — yes, you'll need a one-night public performance license from Swank, Criterion, or an equivalent provider. We don't sell or arrange licensing. That's on you.

We don't enforce content restrictions, but you're responsible for the content you screen and any licensing it requires.

Spokane metro. Because it's pickup-only, we don't have a strict delivery radius — but you'll need to drive to our place in Spokane to grab the case.

Saturday → Monday spans are built in for Sunday events at the same $300. Longer multi-day rentals aren't a launch offering — email us and we'll see what we can do.

Same $300 base. Check the COI box at booking so we can issue your certificate of insurance ahead of time. For larger 200+ events the 180" screen may be undersized — get in touch and we'll be honest about fit.
