How well do BABs and garland do OUTDOORS?

BABs Outdoor Disclaimer

Most of our products don’t experience problems but we want to make sure we inform you how to best maintain your BABs item outdoors, as heat, direct sunlight and wind are not ideal!

Direct Sunlight/Heat:

We recommend placing the BABs in shaded areas, as direct sunlight for short periods of time can cause BABs to expand beyond their limits and pop. We don’t recommend they stay outside in direct sunlight for more than 30 minutes if the weather is over 80 degrees or with no cloud coverage. If left outside, clear confetti BABs can turn cloudy thanks to humidity and science. Darker balloon colours soak up the heat more so you may want to consider lighter colours.

Wind:

Our BAB weights are not made to withstand medium to strong winds. If left unattended, the BABs can potentially fall off tables or structures they are placed on if not tied down to a permanent object. We will take precaution by double tying our weights but recommend you have additional weigh-down options on hand. We’ve seen customers use pails with sand, bricks, sandbags, etc. to prevent mid-party mishaps. If your party is in a grassy area with soft enough ground, we can provide you with one stake per BAB if you would like, just let us know!

Adhesives:

For outdoor garland installs we will need to use an alternate tape with stronger adhesive, such as gorilla tape, to adhere your garland in place. Please be aware that there is risk of paint removal with this type of adhesive, but if removed slowly and carefully, you shouldn’t have any problems. If given permission to use a stronger adhesive prior to installation, we will not be responsible if any paint or building exterior is damaged in any way.

PLEASE NOTE:

We will be unable to provide any refunds if any balloons pop after we deliver them safely to your event.
