If the construction has to hold much longer or you’re preparing it beforehand than you need to choose latex balloons with coating or mylar balloons. For outdoor events it’s wisely to give preference to balloons made of thick materials so that they could live longer. If there is a hot weather and blazing sun outside latex balloons may not withstand even a couple of hours.
