* Sealed-air globe weights include the globe & inner bladder. All sealed-air globes ship with a portable electric inflator / deflator which quickly inflates the globe in just a few minutes.

** Cold-air globes feature an internal blower & rotating mechanism. Cold-air globes are immune to changes in temperature and barometric pressure. They’ll remain properly inflated & rotating as long as they have electric power.

*** Installations services are generally not required for the smaller globes. However, they can be helpful for setting up a 16 or 20 foot diameter globe.

**** Standard pedestals are made of aluminum. We also build in wood and steel and can create a custom mount to fit your situation. We ’ll happily discuss any custom ideas with you. Please contact us.

UPS shipping & freight insurance is quite reasonable, as the packed globes are very compact and lightweight.
