giant spider

Materials vary by decoration type: plush spiders — plush fabric and wired leg frames; hard props — polyester, metal and styrofoam components; robotic/animated toys — ABS plastic and electronic parts; inflatables — polyester fabric.

A typical kit includes a large triangular web, a large (about 5-foot) spider, a swarm of small spiders, stretchy cobweb material, a gutter hook for hanging, and ground stakes for anchoring.

Plush giant spiders that have wired legs typically fold their legs together to form a more compact shape, making them easier to store between seasons.

Mounting depends on the product: hanging decorations use loops, hooks or a gutter hook; wired‑leg props can be shaped to sit or grip surfaces; web kits include ground stakes for anchoring; inflatables rely on a built‑in blower plus wind ropes, ground stakes and waterbags for stability.

Inflatables use a built‑in blower for automatic inflation; you zip the fabric closed and plug in the power. Stability comes from wind ropes, ground stakes and included waterbags, and many inflatables also include a storage bag for transport.
