Large Balloon Arch kit with Heavy Base,Great BirthdayChristmasNew Years Eve Party Decorations/Supplies,Used to make a 8.5FT Tall &12.5Ft Wide(adjustable) Balloon Garland

Apparently this item that I ordered was a return or something because pieces were broken and missing. Fortunately my engineering son rigged up something that held the arch in place and was hidden by the balloons so no one at the gender reveal party knew. It was not sturdy enough to stand on its own so once again he rigged up something that carefully placed balloons hid. If you buy this item plan on leaning it against a wall or something and have a tool box and preferably a mechanical engineer handy.

The arch was not holding its shape. The balloons weighed it down and was tipping toward. It would only hold up if leans against a wall.

Not made for multipal uses

This arch is really easy to assemble. Doesnt even need instructions. But it really just flops forwards and backwards once you have it together. It cant truly stand on its own especially in wind. Maybe once you have balloons covering every inch all the way around they help support it but we didnt go to both ends with balloons. Our experience was that we needed to lean the arch against something or tie it to something with fishing line for it to stay stable (forward/backwards). It was stable side to side/the weight bases with water made that stable. It was simply it staying completely upright. So if you can lean it or tie it, its an excellent value for the money. The water weight bags only lasted one use and then spring leaks but we found we didn’t have to have the weights to use. Loved the round balloon tie pieces for the bouquets to go on. Only suggestion is to cut them so you can attach to pole without dismantling the arch each time - clip it on through a slit between two balloon holders. Overall really a substantive product at an excellent price.

Easy to install!

Easy to set up BUT I will suggest to not use the balloon clips and instead, tie them together and wrap around arch to prevent losing balloons.

After assembling arch would not stand up. I had to tie it up to a balcony above to keep upright for seniors to walk through.

The poles pop out of base pretty easy, filling it with water does not make it sturdy enough.. we used 10 lb weight lifting weights. it is tall and pretty simple to use once you get going. But you have to weight it down to keep arch up.

Used this for the first time on Thursday for a high-school function and ended up having to take it down as the water bag leaked all over. At first I thought it was from filling but after dying the bags we still had a big puddle after 10 mins of it being up.

I liked the kit. One of the inflatable/water bases to keep arch in place was broken upon receiving
