Attaching large PVC banner to flat wall
We’re new to the large format world and have a large pvc banner (1518mm x 10804mm landscape) which we need to attach to a flat harled wall but it will be changed every few months.
We are considering installing stainless eyelet hooks into the wall to attach the banner to using cable ties but it will require many hooks as we have the banner grommets spaced every 500mm (we live in a very windy place!).
Does anyone have recommendations for the best way to approach this or know of a reliable installation method?

This company was recommended recently for this kind of thing but cannot comment as i’ve not used them yet

If your not wanting to go down the frame route then I have seen people install their own by putting a sheet of MDF against the wall and securing then screw and washer right around the banner holding it securely and then put a baton over the top to kind of frame it, this way it will keep the wind from getting underneath.
Im sure someone will be along shortly with something much better but its a starter for you.

Hi Colin
We often make a surrounding frame out of aluminium L angle, mitred at the corners, and about 50mm bigger all round. We pre-drill fixings holes in the angle to match the eyelet marks in our designs and then bungee or cable tie in place. Its then quick and easy to swap banners and its usually quicker to fix the frame in place than having one eye bolt for every eyelet in the banner. Occasionally we will V-groove alicomp and install it as covers over the gap around the banner – looks a bit better but slows down the swap over.
I’ve seen somewhere you can buy "banner rails" to do the same job – they are like L angle but the side that would be projecting forwards is just continual wire hoops so you have flexibility for teh eyelets to be positioned anywhere.
Good Luck
