All About Ballasts - Securing Custom Inflatables
How Do You Keep Your Inflatable Securely in Place?
The answer in one word? Ballasts.
Made of heavy materials like sand and concrete, ballasts provide weight and stability to help anchor your custom inflatable safely in its place.
What Are Your Options?
Ballasts come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties. You can choose something as simple as tent stakes or as complex as customized weights built into your display's internal trusswork. Other possibilities include:
Free weights
Sandbags
Concrete blocks and barricades
PDI blocks – lighter and more aesthetically pleasing than concrete – made of resilient plastic with interior water chambers
Water-filled plastic barrels
Even stationary vehicles!

What Others Say About Landmark Creations
“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”
- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

"Since they were purchased, these Sonic areas have attracted a great deal of attention when using the cup at the store or at special events in the community. [...] You have been excellent to do business with, always letting us know about any special deals and shipping the items quickly so we can start putting them to work. I appreciate your attention to our group of Sonics and for handling your business in a very professional manner, always delivering any information I need when making a decision. Here is a special thanks, with a "cherry on top."

“The likeness to our company mascot was amazing. We used the balloon at the Winn Dixie Home & Garden show ... and we have had rave reviews.”

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."
