  • what method can be used to fix a banner high up?

    Posted by Graeme Speirs on 16 August 2009 at 16:16

    hi guys,

    as part of a large job we have to fit a 29ft x 7ft banner into an existing stretched banner frame (approx 18ft up off the ground). Basically my client is moving into the new premises of a bed company thats went bust. They want to use the exisiting metal fascia which houses a stretched banner and I can see why as it looks good, from looking at it it appears easy to get the old banner down but I want to ensure the new one (we are making) can go into the same system and also look as good, is there a specific way to fit this as there are no visible fixings? it looks like the banner is stretched and hammered into a groove type channel?

    all help would be appreciated as am keen to make this look the part.

    cheers

    The only way to find out is to open up the case and see how it is fixed in place. There are so many variations of boxes that specific information can’t really be given.

    If it was me I would remove the old banner/flexiface first and take it away with me to ensure a proper match.
