Custom Inflatable Arches

Current online prices for a Race Arch run from $1,044 to $4,599. LED Arches start at $1,245, Floating Arches at $2,125, and Misting Arches at $2,269. Custom Shape Arches are priced by quote. Size, shape, material, and air system account for the Race Arch range. See the Custom Inflatable Cost Guide for a fuller quote comparison.

Choose the Race Arch for a conventional land-based start line, finish line, checkpoint, or entrance. Choose a Custom Shape Arch when the outline itself must follow a product, logo, or mascot. A Misting Arch creates a cooling pass-through and needs suitable water access and drainage. An LED Arch is built for dusk, night, or low-light visibility. A Floating Arch is for a swim exit, water-course checkpoint, or other on-water marker.

Start with the usable course width and the minimum clearance needed for people, bikes, timing equipment, or vehicles. The current angled Race Arch production templates show:

• 15 ft: outer width × height 14.76 × 9.84 ft; clear opening width × height 10.50 × 7.87 ft.
• 20 ft: outer width × height 19.69 × 11.48 ft; clear opening width × height 14.76 × 9.02 ft.
• 25 ft: outer width × height 24.93 × 12.47 ft; clear opening width × height 19.69 × 9.68 ft.
• 30 ft: outer width × height 29.53 × 14.76 ft; clear opening width × height 22.31 × 11.15 ft.

Those are front-view dimensions for the angled shape, not the entire secured footprint. Round and square shapes differ, and the site also needs room for the blower and securing lines. Compare the production proof for the selected shape with the actual site before approving it.

On the standard Race Arch, you can choose a 15-, 20-, 25-, or 30-foot width; an angled, round, or square shape; 300D or 600D polyester; and continuous or sealed air where that combination is available. The printed design can include brand colors, logos, and sponsor marks, with different layouts on the front and back. Removable sponsor banners can also be planned. If the arch silhouette itself must follow a product, logo, or mascot, use the Custom Shape Arch instead.

Send SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF artwork when available. JPEG or PNG files should be at least 150 dpi at full scale. Include Pantone Formula Coated values for color-critical work and identify which sponsor marks belong on each side. The proof is where you approve placement, dimensions, and color direction before production. See the Artwork Requirements.

Choose 300D for a lighter, lower-priced continuous-air Race Arch on a lighter event schedule. Choose 600D for repeated travel and setup, or whenever you need sealed air; every current sealed-air Race Arch configuration uses 600D. The current warranty policy lists three years for 300D Inflatable Arches and five years for 600D Inflatable Arches. Those terms are for the standard material-based Arch warranty; confirm specialty and Custom Shape Arch coverage separately.

A continuous-air Race Arch keeps a blower running throughout the event. Choose it when reliable power is available and you want the broadest current material and configuration selection. A sealed-air Race Arch is inflated and then closed, so the blower does not run while the arch is standing. Choose it when ongoing power or blower noise is a problem, while remembering that power is still needed for inflation. Current sealed-air models use 600D polyester, and not every width-and-shape combination is offered. See Continuous vs. Sealed Air Inflatables for the longer comparison.

Current product pages list 5–8 business days of production for Race, Misting, LED, and Floating Arches, and 7–12 business days for a Custom Shape Arch. Those are production estimates, not door-to-door delivery times. For a standard Race Arch, the current product page recommends allowing 2–3 weeks overall for revisions and shipping. Send the artwork, delivery ZIP code, and required in-hand date at the start so the schedule can be checked before you order.

The current Race Arch specification lists a blower, carry bag, ropes, stakes, and D-rings. Continuous-air models need power for the blower throughout the event. Sealed-air models need power for inflation but not while the arch is standing. That is the Race Arch equipment list, not a promise that every specialty Arch has the same kit. Confirm the electrical connection and securing plan for the selected build and event surface.

Yes. Put the event identity and long-term branding on the arch, then use removable sponsor banners for placements that may change between races. Banner size, position, and attachment method have to be built into the approved layout; they are not a universal after-the-fact add-on. See Removable Banners for Inflatable Arches.
