Default Need some good inflatable furniture...

...so I'm planning my spring kegger and I want it to be epic. Gotta go bigger every year. Anyway, I thought it'd be cool if I got some good quality inflatable furniture for the garage, as that's where everybody usually ends up.

Found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00OCBZ...=SS115&simLd=1



Problem is, it's $260 shipped and there are no reviews. Kind of a risky purchase. I definitely don't want any crappy Spencer Gifts quality super small inflatable furniture; I want the full-sized good ####.

Anybody have any tips or lines on getting good quality inflatable couches?

Also, while we're at it, do you think a rental port-a-potti like the ones you see on construction sites will fit in a garage with an 8-foot ceiling? And if it does would it stink or be okay?

Of course it would stink. You'd have a non-flushing toilet in your garage. Ack. Blech. And unless your garage door is over 8 feet tall, you'd have to tilt it to get it in and out. Maybe not a big deal on the way in, but definitely a bad deal on the way out.

I would be worried about the garage cat getting it's claw into that thing and putting a hole in it.

It would just be for one night and I'd have a 'pee only' rule.

How would you enforce this rule?

Primarily with the honour system, but I'd also keep watch on the time and perhaps ration toilet paper on the way in as a way of pre-enforcement if I suspected shenanigans.

The other option is to just put it in the back alley and park a couple cars around it to keep it safe or maybe just put it in the corner of my backyard.

If I could be assured it wouldn't smell, my preference is inside the garage, though, to keep everyone contained and not outside bothering my neighbours as it gets later.

It's a great big bucket of piss. You don't want a great big bucket of piss in your garage.

Yeah I suppose. I thought maybe there would be some strong deodorizers or filters or something in there that would make it a non-issue, but I'll just not chance it by keeping it outside.

Any thoughts on good inflatable furniture? Inflatable stuff is getting so awesome these days with all the bouncers, shelters, etc. That I was hoping I could find some furniture of that calibre, too.

Why is inflatable an issue? Is there some need to float? Water resistance?

Just buy a used sectional or series of couches on kjijiji. Trashing them at the end of the night can be part of the entertainment.

You don't let your friends use your indoor plumbing?

It's that I have a detached garage in my backyard and I'm conscious of how the noise of my friends going between my house and the garage could be disruptive to my neighbours as it gets later. Their bedroom is in the back corner of their house like 10 feet from my back door entrance.

I may just offer to buy them a night at a hotel downtown so I don't have to worry about them, but I don't know if they'd even want that. Plus they may feel like I'm trying to kick them out of their own house.

I don't want to get a bunch of furniture from Kijiji because that will be a hassle to pick up and dispose of. Inflatable furniture I'd be able to just put away the next morning and have it for next year. Plus it would be kind of fun.
