    Good idea … HOWEVER ….

    It is mounted 90 degrees to the building so people walking down the street will see 🙂

    Put a sign up before the banner "Caution over hanging banner"

    I’ll get my coat too.

    Jon couldn’t you replace it with a landscape projecting sign so it wouldn’t be as deep 🙄

    Lower the road by 12 inches?

    Peter 😉

    Can you make it shorter?

    hmmmm, would it be possible to mount it on some of them two way (saloon door type) hinges ? just at the bottom, then it’ll swing back into place after being hit !

    My sound too obvious:
    how about mounting it between the two windows away from the corner. it’s probably only getting caught by lorries turning the corner (?)
