Banners, how do you suggest fitting them?
Hi all
I am looking for your suggestions or advice on installing banners.
My customer wants a series of banners along the front of their yard that they will change 2-3 times each year, as and when required.he has asked me what sort of methods are there to do this type of thing, but all I can think of is the ones i have seen that are overkill and expensive.
does anyone have any good ways of fitting banners that are easy changed or whatever?they will be fitted to a decent wooden fence or on the building front. maybe even both!
thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Peter
We have a customer that has us do exactly that. I got around it with buying M6 rawl bolts, discarding the bolt part and using only the sleeves. I replaced the bolts with M6 butterfly bolts.(like wingnuts)
Now, when they want a banner replacing we use a previous banner as a template to exactly pinpoint the eyelet spacing.

We have done this with sign channel top and bottom and bolts with wing nuts – put your eyelets on the print file then same every time you change the banners 👍

I will be honest, I have had dozens of companies, over the years, that want this type of thing and none follow it through. in principle, it is a good idea. but it just never happens as people are busy and the novelty wears off.
I am not talking about large companies like B&Q, Tesco etc they obviously do it and do it themselves in-house. or are you actually talking about that size of a company?
The problem I have found is that unless the banners have a tension system like a bungee cord, the banner will sag and look loose.
I prefer using something like the spirit flex tension system. keeps things very neat and tidy looking and in a way ensures the customer is coming back to you, for the repeat work then after.
