CO2 Confetti Cannon Rentals In Dallas DFW

A: The rental includes the cannon unit only. It operates on standard CO2 or Nitrogen tanks (available at any welding supply store). We offer a variety of bio-degradable confetti as a separate add-on to ensure an eco-friendly, vibrant blast.

A: Yes, when operated as directed. Because it uses compressed gas instead of an explosive charge, it is a much safer alternative to pyrotechnic confetti maroons and is suitable for many indoor venues. We will provide full safety training.

A: The cannon produces a powerful, sharp "whoosh" sound that is dramatic but not as loud as a pyrotechnic explosion. It is well-suited for indoor ballrooms and event spaces.

A: Due to the high-impact nature of this equipment, we recommend booking your CO2 confetti cannon rental at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for dates around New Year's Eve and other major celebrations.
