Using this spandex cover is a breeze. First, make sure your 8ft hexagon wedding arch is set up. Then, simply pull the cover over the arch. The double - sided design means it looks great from both sides. Since the bottom is open, you can choose to let it hang freely against the bottom pole or tuck it in for a neater look. When placing the cover on the stand, be aware that the fabric might get caught on the screws. If this happens, don't worry; it shouldn't tear. You can add some tape or a screw cover to make it easier to put on. After use, you can gently hand - wash the cover in cold water and let it air dry. This will keep it looking white and fresh for your next event.
