How long do the vinyl balloons last?
The balloons will not pop unless punctured. However, over time some balloon colors (like red) will fade a little. Normally you can expect 5-7 months before any fading is noticeable but this is dependent on exposure and intensity of the sun. They will stay shiny as long as the surface is relatively clean. Q: What do you fill the balloons with? A: Because the balloons are supported by a fiberglass rod no helium is required. You may use one of our air pumps or simply inflate by mouth. Do not use helium as it is a very active gas and will escape thru the vinyl over time causing a saggy look. Q: What special tools do I need to install the pole kit? A: None. If you are installing the pole kit using our stakes you will need a common hammer to tap the stake into the ground. Q: How do I install the bracket, suction cup or pole kits? A: Please see our installation instructions from the Set-Up tab. Q: Will the pole kits rust? A: No. Our Balloon Bobber pole kits are manufactured from 6061 grade al
