Decorations:
-
Determine the weight of the decorations: Before hanging anything on the wooden or metal arch, determine the weight of the decorations to ensure that the arch can support them.

Use sturdy hooks or cable ties: When attaching decorations to the arch, use sturdy hooks or cable ties that can support the weight of the decorations. Avoid using string or ribbon, which may not be strong enough.
-
Securely attach the decorations: Make sure that the decorations are securely attached to the hooks or cable ties. Test each decoration to ensure that it will not come loose or fall off.
-
Avoid overloading the arch: Do not overload the arch with too many decorations or decorations that are too heavy. This can cause the arch to become unstable and potentially collapse.
