Balloon Arch Colours: 2 x Black, 1 White, 1 Tropical Teal (or Kalisan/Gemar Turquoise)

Single Door traditional swirl balloon arch delivered 8am to 9am. I'll need to post you some personalised ribbon which the Puregym staff will place on the arch themselves at midday for the official opening. If you'd like me to post balloons with the ribbon let me know.

If you've been asked to make a Puregym arch below explains how I do it. I know you'll have your own method but as they like to keep the arches for up at a week I use a disposable frame. If you talk to the guys on site you'll probably be able to collect your frame.

I don't feel an aeropole frame works as the doors are small and it's easier to build a disposable frame and leave it (plus do you want to leave your frame for a week?).

Basically - the frame is 2 columns joined with Ali Rod.

Ikea lamp stands

I use Ikea lamp stands screwed to MDF & build 2 columns. I bend aluminium rod to form a nice arch shape & join the columns.

I secure the arch against the glass store front using 2 x suction cups (I buy these on Amazon - search car dent puller).

I leave 15ft x 4" Red ribbon with the staff. If the store is closed I hide it next to the arch base. The staff will use the ribbon at midday and place it across the arch themselves.

That's it - Good Luck.

Instructions for Organic Half Arch

Balloon Colours: White, Black, Tropical Teal and a few Silver Chrome. Ideally in 5", 11", 16" and a few 36"... but it's depends what's available. (I have the stock if you need it - david@balloon.co.uk).

Please supply some Red ribbon to go across the entrance. The staff will handle this - they might need an extra suction pad to go on the glass & attached the ribbon.

Puregym open at 12 midday but it's nice to have the arches finished for between 9 - 10am

Prep to go in the van (if you have a van):

 
I bend the Ali Rod into an “L’ and cover it in random 11” (underinflated) & 5” (you might have difficulty getting the stock so let me know).
 
I make 2 NOT lamps - 3 poles & 4 poles. I’ve started square packing this bit with 16” & 11” so they slot together.
 
I fill 3 Qualatex plastic bags with 5” duplets (the smaller square bags)
 
 
When I arrive I slot the NOT lamps altogether with line (or 260Qs), slot the rod in, use the Amazon sucky things (3 or 4):
 
Suction Pads
 
 
 
Then… I make clusters of 6 random balloons (with the 3 bags you preped) and force them in the gaps - I use flat 260q to twist them in…. Sometimes the same 260q comes out and I add more to the other end.
 
Be careful… it can start to look like a darlek (Doctor Who) if you only use small balloons.
 
Add some 16” on the top…. Add 3 or 4 x 36” at the end (they have electricity).
 
All frames & bases are considered disposable - Puregym will keep them on display for as long as the weather will allow - and they'll dispose of them.
 
I'm sure you can do a better job than me:

If you're building a PureGym arch for me I've probably sent you a link to this page.

The arches are usually over a single door so we use NOT lamps so it's not necessary to return to collect. The top of the arch can be helium filled or Ali Rod frame and you can Gaffa Tape the arch back to the glass front (unless you have a better solution). On some occasions it's a double door so it's best to take extra kit.

Sticky hooks are not allowed.

Setup is usually between 8am to 9am - but on some occasions the openings are after midday so you're welcome to contact your local Puregym and ask if you can setup later.

Colours: Black, White & Tropical Teal

I think it looks better with more Black as the frontage is mostly Black but you can build it how you like.

For arches bigger than a single door see out Vodafone & Nationwide stores.
