Mortar Box Layout Template

This fireworks mortar box layout template was created using Microsoft Word. It is easily editable and allows you to arrange different-sized aerial mortars in as many sandboxes as you require. It is currently set for shell sizes ranging from 3″ to 5″ but can accommodate larger guns by using larger circles or a different color. Having a layout like this complete before you arrive on-site the day of the show will make your setup go an order of magnitude faster since there will be no confusion about what is supposed to go where.
