G'Day from Downunder,
How can you stop people from walking into your mono arch line during
construction??
The joys of being a balloon decorator! Three ideas come to mind;

1. Have an employee stand to one side of the arch holding a Smith &
Wesson 45 Magnum.
In the other hand is a piece of chalk ready to score another "victim" on
the blackboard.

2. Inflate 4 x 5" air inflated latex. Then one helium filled 11" latex
intended for the arch.
Tie the helium balloon to the centre of the arch line to lift it off the
floor. Then tie 2 of the 5" air filled balloons to the arch line AT EYE
LEVEL and waist level either side of the helium filled balloon. Continue
to tie on the rest of the 11" helium filled latex. Remove the 5"
balloons when they are no longer necessary.

3. For those who are concerned about the cost of 4 air filled 5" latex
and the time it takes to attach them to the mono, learn to EXPECT people
to walk into your INVISIBLE line.
