   Outdoor Banner Installation

Outdoor vinyl banners is our prevference choice for those looking for durability, long-lasting results and cost effectiveness in an outdoor use banner. With our outdoor vinyl banners, many of the options of indoor banner applications remain, while gaining the durability to handle rough weather, sun exposure, wind conditions and other elements.

Materials and finishing

Naturally, banners produced for outdoor applications are produced on heavier weight material. Depending on permanent or temporary installation, and the exact condtions, outdoor banner material ranges between 10 oz. to an ultra-sturdy 22 oz.

While vinyl bannners are ideal for outdoor uses, the option of full color digital print banners remains in using a fade resistant UV solvent based ink. Most common outdoor banner finishing options are single-folded edges with double lock stitched hems with grommet placement approximately every 2 feet. Pole pockets are also a popular choice, as is rope double stitched and threaded through the entire banner length. For extra durability, reinforced corners and nylon webbing provides added support.

Installation Methods

Depending on banner placement, one of the following usually applies for installation of outdoor banners:

  • Against a building: Using 10 oz. to 13 oz. banner material, grommeted so that it can be fastened to the building through all gommets with screws and washers.
        
  • Against a chain link fence: The 13 oz. banner material in this case is possible reinforced with nylon webbing stitched within the hem. Nylon ties or wire interlaced through grommets and fencing.

  • Free standing banner frame: Three sided pole pocketed banner. 13oz, wind slits if extra large. corner cut outs for easy assembly. Optional bungee cord attached through grommets and attached to frame.

  • Tied between posts or trees: 13oz. - 16oz. banner with stitched rope threaded through entire banner length allowing tie up install to be pulling on rope only - not banner.
        
  • Over the street banners: Heaviest weight 16 - 22oz. banner material, usually sewn in nylon webbing in hem, single-folded and double-lock stitched hems with reinforced corners & grommets., wind slits, rope stitched along top of banner edges.
