Yexmas 8.7ft Halloween Inflatables Pumpkins 7 Blow Up Decor with Witches Hat, Built-in LED Lights for Halloween Party, Yard, Garden, Lawn

This Halloween outdoor decor, Yexmas 10FT Halloween Inflatable Archway Outdoor Decoration, Ghost Castle Inflatable Archway Blow Up with Spooky Face, is an impressive %26 fun addition to the yard. The kids really enjoyed it and a few parents took pics of their Tricksters standing in front of it. There are internal lights placed in strategic spots to ensure the figure shows off well. It has a built in blower. The material is similar to tent fabric and appears durable. However, it was set up for only the night of Halloween and then taken down. Even so, I'm lead to expect this item will last for many years to come with proper care. What's in the box: inflatable scary archway; 8 ground stakes; 4 guy lines; power cord for internal built in blower. The set up is easy. Recommend 2 ppl to set up, but I'm short so a taller person might manage it alone. 1. Lay it out on the ground where it is to be placed. 2. Attach a ground stake to each of 2 loops under each "foot" %26 push stakes into the ground. 3. Locate the single loop on the side under each arm and tie on 2 guy lines on one side %26 2 on the other side. 4. Tie the ground stakes to the end of the lines. 5. Plug in blower and start inflating with one person supporting the archway as it rises and then the other person placing the stakes to stabilize it in an upright position. And you're done! For safety, tie/tape something bright colored to the lines because they're black and virtually invisible at night. Note: if you don't have help, try putting the 4 guy lines/stakes part way into the ground before inflating. You'll need to estimate distance. On each side, place both stakes off to the side with one to the front of the arch and the other to the back. Without them, the arch wii be tipping over to the ground - very difficult to set the lines while keeping it upright. The one improvement I'd like to see is a blower that's a bit stronger. A couple of times the arch started to bend over causing a bit of a crease in the fabric - enough to restrict air flow causing partial collapse. But it recovered on its own. There was almost no wind. If breezy, I think this would require additional lines attached higher up to support it. Or if you're handy, modify it to accept a stronger external blower.
