Ballast and cut-off cues for fabric and arches.
This card sits with the site lead, riggers and brand team when gazebos, feather flags, fabric walls or inflatable arches go up. It notes the wind ranges that trigger extra ballast, guy-line checks, or a full stop on use, with space for venue-specific instructions. Keep the latest version on the crew board and share it through our contact form when a centre, school field or festival asks for the safety pack.
Cape Town south-easter days, beachfront promenades and open parking lots all read differently once branding is installed. Use the card to record ballast type, unit weight, anchor points and the person who signed off the setup at first check. If a trading day includes gusty periods, add timed re-checks for legs, base plates, straps and printed skins.
Each line is there for quick decisions beside a structure, not for office filing. Teams usually capture wind reading, display type, ballast per leg, ground surface and the action required at each threshold. That makes it easier to compare a mall forecourt in Gauteng with an exposed festival field in the Western Cape.
Ballast queries, tie-down notes, and site-specific wind limits can be sent through our contact form. Astonishing Studio works from Woodstock, Cape Town.
