INFLATABLE ARCH

Commercial-grade inflatable arches made from durable can remain fully inflated for up to 48 hours if properly inflated and anchored.
Simple tube-style inflatable arches tend to hold air better than more complex shapes with attachments. The more seams and connections, the more chances for gradual deflation.
Outdoor inflatable arches deflate faster than indoor ones due to exposure to weather elements like changes in temperature, moisture, wind gusts. Outdoor arches may fully inflate for 24 hours.
Using commercial-grade inflators/blowers designed for inflatables fills arches tighter than consumer leaf blowers, allowing arches to remain inflated longer through consistent internal pressure.
Anchoring both sides of the base with sandbags or stakes helps prevent air loss by keeping fabric tight rather than flapping loose.
Avoid running electrical cords across access flaps. Fully reseal outer zippers after positioning blowers to limit airflow escaping.
Indoors in controlled climate conditions, arches inflated properly can maintain full shape up to 48 hours then slowly start sinking if air remains trapped inside.
Deflate completely when not in use for storage. Temperature fluctuations when packed half-full can weaken vinyl fabric over time.
So commercial outdoor inflatable arches can realistically stay fully standing 1-2 days (24-48 hours) through quality durable builds, tight inflation methods and stability accessories. Indoor arches last longer avoiding weather factors. Proper setup prevents premature deflation.

It is subjective to the type of inflatable arch which you buy. For example, an inflatable arch can be set up in minutes with as little as two people, whereas a 20m inflatable marquee might take an hour or more.

We endeavor to produce inflatables arch which are simple and safe to use.

There are a variety of different choices that are based on what your expectations are regarding lifespan, durability, quality, budget, etc. Contact us to discuss.

This depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to: your application, the size of your inflatable, where and how it is being used, and the material required to construct your inflatable.

All sewn inflatables require a constant blower to stay inflated, whereas sealed units can be inflated with an air pump.

Polyester inflatables arch require a constant blower to stay set up and self regulate their internal air pressure.

Inflatables maintain their shape through air pressure, and it requires a lot of air to give the unit its shape. This is why it is difficult to produce anything small and detailed. Most of the units we produce are approximately 1m in size or greater.

A great analogy would be like a paper plane, with a piece A4 paper it is rather straightforward, though to make the same plane with a postage stamp, it can be much more difficult.

Every inflatable arch that we make is considered a once off, bespoke product and due to this every product is different, with no order ever really being the same as the last. With this in mind, there is no “official standard”.

Here at Inflatable Anything, we produce once off, custom, bespoke inflatables. We do not hold any inflatables in stock.

Despite their large size, inflatable arches are actually incredibly easy to set up! We’re giving you a quick run through of the simple set-up AND take-down process for your custom inflatable arch.

You can also read the written instructions below, along with shorter for set-up only or take-down only.

SETTING UP YOUR INFLATABLE ARCH

Unpack the arch, ropes, and ground stakes from the carry bag. Unroll the arch and lay it flat where you intend to use it.
After attaching the ropes to all D-rings at the top of the arch, plug the arch in to your power source and begin inflation.
In tandem with another person, guide the arch upright as it inflates, making sure to stay clear of any sharp objects. If you have a continuous-air model, make sure the arch is plugged in the entire time in use!
Next, attach the other end of the ropes to your ground stakes or other weight sources. Distance with even pressure to avoid the arch leaning.

TAKING DOWN YOUR INFLATABLE ARCH

When you’re ready to take the arch down, unplug the power and help the arch gently deflate.
Take out the ground stakes or untie the end of the ropes from the arch’s weight source, and unzip the bottom of the arch’s legs to help let the air out.
Press down on various parts of the arch to help move the air out through the bottom of the leg openings.
Once the arch is full deflated, fold over and roll it up tightly to place back in its storage bag. Make sure the ground stakes are wrapped and covered properly to avoid puncturing or scratching the arch. Store in a cool, dry area.
