Sealed-air or constant-air?
Both systems create a bold professional display. The best choice depends on the required size, material and how the arch will be operated at your event.
Constant-Air Arches
A fan or blower runs continuously from a 240V supply, making constant-air suitable across the full 4m–15m range and for larger or more complex structures.
Built for visibility
A natural landmark for events and race days
A custom inflatable race arch makes the route instantly recognisable while creating a prominent stage for organiser and sponsor branding. It also provides a strong visual backdrop for participant photography, video coverage and social media content.

Inflatable arch specifications
Compare the available material and inflation combinations. Open each table to view weight, approximate dimensions and the availability of the optional larger-leg upgrade.
Important: Figures assume a straight-leg arch with the standard leg diameter, normally 10% of the external width. Heights, diameters, weights and packed sizes are guides; final production dimensions vary with material and inflation system. Tell our sales team before ordering if your venue requires an exact clearance or footprint.
