Design Tips

Structure, Safety and Installation
Arches face wind loads, so frame strength, anchoring and base weight must be planned properly. Ask your vendor about structural details, installation method and removal for temporary setups.
Planning Timeline
Allow time for design approval, fabrication or printing, installation and any required permission. For events, confirm the date at least a couple of weeks ahead for larger structures. Related reading: sign board permission guide.
