Outdoor Store Arches
Air filled biodegradable outdoor balloon arch delivered and setup in an Electric van. Built with solid heavy metal basis on a flexible carbon frame (the frame & bases are on hire so reused time & time again). Site specific risk assessment and liability insurance submitted with every arch.
Balloon arches are a fantastic cost effective way to decorate a stage, retail outlet or race mile marker. We build arches outside or inside air filled on frames that are reused 100’s of times . In recent years nearly all our arches are made with air because of the booming costs of helium and demand for sustainability. Air filled archways last 3-4 days depending on outdoor conditions.
Retail stores require an early morning installation at around 8am, we allow at least an hour build time per arch. Once installed we email or tweet a photo for your peace of mind. On larger projects that require more archways we work overnight to ensure we’re finished and out of the way so you can get on with planning the rest of your event.If you have a large chain of stores and you’re planning a promotion take a look at the 43 arches we installed across the UK in 1 day, the 20 we built overnight or the 15 for London Revolution.
Organic Balloon Displays
Organic style balloon displays are made with different sized balloons air filled so no helium required. This type of balloon garland can be used to decorate large areas, stairways, entrances etc. We also hire 4ft light up numbers including balloons as above photo example.

FAQs
We deliver balloon arches inflated and ready for openings, parties and promotional event. There’s various options to consider when ordering an arch, the below will help me quote:
Is the arch going outdoors? This requires a strong flexible frame which I’ll need to collect after your event.
Do you require an arch to span over a double doors entrance or a smaller arch to sit behind a cake table?
Do you want all the balloons to be the same size or random sizes (organic)?
Do you require vinyl graphics on the balloons?
We use heavy metal bases and a rigid carbon fibre frame when building double arches and retail store fronts. More on this here.
For single door arches we use a disposable frame. To do this we screw IKEA lamps into MDF block bases and finish the loop with shaped Aluminium rod.
It also helps to inflate the balloons with a warm electric air blower. First over inflate and then let the balloons down so they become round in shape. This make the balloons softer and stronger compared to feeling brittle when inflated via an air cylinder.
The industry price for a local arch is around £195. If you’re dealing with a VAT registered business you’ll need to add that on. Prices increase depending on the length of time the arch is required and the type of frame. For outside arches we prefer to use the aeropole system which means a collection charge may be added plus travel to out of area locations.
This depends if the arch is outdoors or indoors. If the arch is indoors it can last up to 2 weeks no direct sunlight is hitting it though windows. Examples here of 2 week old arches: https://www.balloon.co.uk/5-tesco-extra-arches/
If the arch is outdoors it can last 3 days depending on weather conditions. Really cold weather helps the balloons look good for longer (especially with darker colours). On hot days darker colours tend to absorb the heat, oxidise and then burst. More on this here: https://www.balloon.co.uk/how-long-will-my-arch-last/
Prices start at £195 – It costs no extra for more colours. Prices can increase if you require multiple sizes of balloons required in Organic displays. The stock required to build an arch in 36”, 16”, 11” and 5” balloons can get expensive the more colours you add.
We double up our heavy metal bases to give an extremely strong and heavy foundation. This combined with the lightweight carbon frame delivers a solid base both sides mixed with flexibility to allow the balloons to move and sway.
