One brand for the whole decorating job

Chamvis started with a simple fiberglass balloon arch kit and grew into a full set of event frames. Arch kits stand on water-fillable bases and bend into the height and width you need; balloon columns add two towers on either side of a cake table; clamp-on table arches and an over-the-table rod stand bring decor right above the food.

For weddings and photo walls there are gold metal round stands, a pair of moon-shaped half arches and a burnt-wood square arbor. Every frame comes apart into short sections, so it packs into a small box after the event and comes out again for the next birthday, shower or graduation.

Adjustable size

Move the bases closer or further apart to change the height and width of an arch kit.

Weighted bases

Water or sand bags, ground stakes and ropes keep the frame steady indoors and out.

Folds away

Shock-corded fiberglass poles and threaded metal tubes break down into short pieces.

Air, not helium

The electric pumps fill latex balloons with plain air — no tanks to rent.

Balloon arch kits & columns

Freestanding frames for garlands: bend the fiberglass pole into an arch, anchor the bases, then clip balloons on.

Where Chamvis frames end up

Birthday and baby-shower backdrops — Chamvis

Birthday and baby-shower backdrops

A round stand or arch kit turns one wall into the photo spot of the party. Mix balloon sizes, add greenery or a neon sign, and change the colors for the next event.

Ceremony arches — Chamvis

Ceremony arches

The wooden square arbor and the gold metal stands take draping fabric, flower garlands and lights. Stakes and weighted feet keep them upright on grass.

Decor right above the table — Chamvis

Decor right above the table

The over-the-table rod stand and the 13 ft table arch clamp to the table edge, so flowers or balloons hang over the cake and plates without stands on the floor.

Hundreds of balloons without the dizziness — Chamvis

Hundreds of balloons without the dizziness

An electric pump fills a balloon in a couple of seconds, which is what makes a full garland realistic for one or two people.

How to set up a Chamvis balloon arch kit

Based on the instructions that come with the fiberglass arch kits. Budget about an hour for the first arch, including balloons.

What is in the arch kit

  • 15 folding fiberglass pole sections (21 in the 7.4 ft kit)
  • 2 PVC bases and 2 PVC pipes
  • 2 water/sand bags
  • 4 ground stakes and 2 secure ropes
  • Balloon clips and 2 balloon knotters
  • Hand pump or electric pump, depending on the kit

Tips from owners

  • Wind: Outdoors, use the stakes and ropes; on a gusty day set the arch up indoors or against a wall.
  • Balloons: A full 9 × 10 ft arch takes a few hundred balloons — plan extra.
  • Help: A second person and a step stool make the top of the arch much easier.
  1. 1

    Fill the bases

    Fill both bags with water or sand and set them into the PVC bases where the arch will stand.

  2. 2

    Connect the pole

    Unfold the shock-corded fiberglass sections so they click into one long pole.

  3. 3

    Bend and seat it

    Push each end of the pole into a PVC pipe on the bases; move the bases to set the height and width.

  4. 4

    Anchor it

    Outdoors, add the ground stakes and tie the ropes; indoors, the weighted bases or a wall do the job.

  5. 5

    Inflate balloons

    Use the pump to fill balloons in a mix of sizes, then tie them in pairs or fours with the knotter.

  6. 6

    Attach and style

    Clip the bunches along the pole and fill gaps with small balloons, greenery or flowers.

★★★★★

Sturdy, easy to assemble

The poles have a good thickness and feel sturdy while still being flexible enough to form the arch… practical to take apart and reuse.

Best time saver I ever bought

I have used it probably 12-15 times already and it's still in just as great shape as when I first got it.

Give yourself about 30-45 minutes of set up time and get a few friends to help. But it came out SO CUTE and was so easy to do.

Frequently asked questions

The fiberglass arch kit reaches about 9 ft high and 10 ft wide. Because the pole bends between two bases, you set the final height and width by moving the bases; you can also fold some sections double to make it smaller.

No. The kits include the frame, bases, clips, knotters and a pump, but balloons are bought separately. Owners recommend planning a few hundred balloons in mixed sizes for a full arch.

Fill the bags in the bases with water or sand. Outdoors, add the ground stakes and ropes from the kit. On windy days many owners move the arch indoors or lean it against a wall.

The 9 ft × 10 ft arch kit with electric pump and the 7.4 ft arch kit with electric pump. The basic kits include a manual hand pump.

No. The pumps blow regular air, so balloons will not float. That is all you need for garlands, columns and arches.

Not exactly. On amazon.com they sit on one listing, but the black and blue/red pumps are two-nozzle 600 W inflators, while the green one has two motors and five nozzles for foil and long balloons too.

Use zip ties, floral wire, the included ribbon or balloon garland strips. People dress the circle with flowers, tulle, LED strings, macrame or a printed fabric cover.

Yes. It has a burnt finish that resists moisture, rear bracing boards and four U-shaped ground stakes for lawns. Owners note the instructions are short, so lay out the parts first.

The 13 ft table arch and the over-the-table rod stand both clamp to the table edge. The rod stand spans 46.8–99.6 in wide; check that your table has a free edge for the clamps, and note that tablecloths can make clamps slide.

Yes. Fiberglass poles fold down, metal stands unscrew into short tubes and the wooden arch comes apart, so everything stores in a small box until the next event.
