Using this wedding arch cover is a breeze. First, unfold the two pieces of the cover. Then, start with the top piece and pull it over the top part of the 7.5ft crescent moon metal wedding arch until it fits snugly. Next, take the bottom piece and do the same for the lower part of the arch. Remember, this order only includes the cover, so you'll need to have your own arch stand. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, simply hand - wash the cover in cold water with a mild detergent. Don't wring it out too hard to keep the spandex in good shape. Hang it to dry, and it'll be ready for your next event. Keep it stored in a cool, dry place to avoid any damage. This cover is reusable, so with proper care, it can serve you for many occasions.
