Just a tip, but it works for me - If you inflate the balloons in inches to
the same size as the arch in feet, it seems to be in proportion. So, an 8
foot wide arch needs balloon inflated to 8 inches. A 10 foot wide arch needs
10 inch balloons, and a 6 foot wide arch needs balloons inflated to 6
inches.
