Banner Sign installation techniques
Banner sign installation techniques shared by our sign installation team.
Once you have purchased your banner and it has
arrived at your location, you will be ready to begin the
installation process. As we mentioned in our article on “Finding the
Perfect Location for Your Banner,” you will need to first focus on
where you will hang your banner before you focus on how you will
hang it. Once you have found the perfect location, you're ready to
move on to the next step.
Your location should not only be visible, but it should provide you
with a way to easily affix the banner to its surface. Whether you
plan to permanently install your banner or you plan on a temporary
installation, this is a very important factor. You will need to make
sure that you can either drill holes to fasten the banner, or that
there are places to tie off a rope if you plan to use this method
for installation.
Here are some helpful tips for correctly installing your banner
1. Permanent Installation Technique
Equipment suggestions:
Battery Drill, screws, washers, bubble level or trades level.
IF you use our permanent
banner sign install techniques, your sign should will be outside for
more than 3 years.
This technique will require a solid surface that is acceptable for
drilling. If your surface cannot support drilling, you will need to
move to our Temporary Installation Technique Below.
Here’s what you’ll need: One drill, one bit suitable for the surface
(ie: masonry bit, wood bit, etc…) screws and washers.
First, line up and measure where you intend to hang your banner.
Check your sign is level and place a hole ready for your screw. Our
banner signs come with eyelets that are spaced apart. Hold the
banner in place and mark where the eyelets will be. Unroll the
banner and begin to drill, using your eyelet marks as a guide.
Once you have completed all of your hole, take your first washer and
place it over the in the surface you just drilled, over the banner's
eyelet. Insert your first screw. Repeat this process until the
entire banner has been affixed to the surface. Occassionaly check
your banner sign is level.
Repeat the steps top and bottom of your banner sign across the length of your banner sign material.
2. Temporary Installation Technique
This technique is useful if you need to move your banner frequently,
or if you cannot find a surface that is appropriate for a permanent
installation of your banner.
Here’s what you’ll need: A suitable tying point for the ropes that
are sewn into the banner. All our banner signs are sewn with 5mm
Nylon Poly ropes along the length of the banner sign. This give the
overall banner greater strength.
Also, sections where we press the eyelets are 'triangle' capped to give further strength for fixing.
Tie your banner to a suitable pole, post, eye ring or other. We also can supply springs, rubber ropes or toggles to help your installation. Just let us know.
Below: These banner sign accessories are readily available from hardware stores such as Mitre10, True Value, Bunnings and Thrifty Link. Most local hardware store owners stock these items, as well as camping and outdoor stores. Each may have their own products.
 |
Eyelet hook, toggle hook & similar.These are particularly handy for fitting the corner eyelets of your banner sign. The fitting can be tightened or loosened. |
 |
Ring Hooks, Dyna Bolt eyelet rings and more fitting fixtures such as rings, clips and dog clips. |
 |
Cleats, clasps and more. |
 |
Rope ends, roof screws, Dyna bolts etc. |
 |
Rubber ropes, elastic ties, ropes and more. |
Unless otherwise specified, all of our signage banners
are constructed on a medium weight PVC Banner material. The
following is a brief description of our medium weight banners.
Materials will be hemmed, and eyeleted every 800-1000 mm
unless otherwise specified. Let us know any requirement of
eyeleting. Brass eyelets are very cheap and we can press & place anywhere to suit
your style of banner sign.
All banners are sewn with 5mm rope top and bottom with approx 800 mm
tie off ropes / ends.

Our Buy Direct and Save POLICY:
Our signage company buys materials in Bulk, and pass these savings directly to you. We ensure high quality in every project and we care about your marketing with signage.
Our sign company has made over 5300 signs since 1993
Giving your banner a long life outdoors.
Even though
our banners are made of superior products, you will still need to
make sure that you are taking proper care of your new banner. This
will ensure that your banner will have a long life. Here are some
helpful tips on extending the life of your banner.
1. All our banner materials are UV stabilized and achieve a blue
wool scale 5. If you banner sign is directly in sunshine, allow for
expansion and contraction as the banner sign heats and cools. This
is a natural element, and pre-thought when installing is important.
2. Keep it clean. If your banner is in an area that produces dirt,
it is important to keep it as clean as possible. By periodically
cleaning your banner, you can reduce the effects that normal
pollutants and materials can have on sign.
A simple, gentle dish soap or even just water will provide you with
a way to wash away this road grime or debris. Frequently cleaning can also reduce
problems that arise when a banner is partially obscured by dirt.
ALSO, CUSTOMERS WILL NOT BE IMPRESSED WITH A DIRTY SIGN, IT CREATES
A POOR IMPRESSION.
3. If high winds are predicted in your area, you may want to
consider taking your banner down temporarily. Banner signs are
flexible in nature, however, if you are aware of cyclonic conditions
it may be wiser to remove any signage pre storm, gale or strong
wind. It is very important to secure your banner in a way that will
reduce flapping in the wind. If you cannot permanently affix your
banner safely, removing it in high winds may be necessary.
Make sure that you keep the eyelets of your banner in good condition
to reduce the effects of wind. Reduce any effects of external
elements before they have an effect on your signage by taking
measures ahead of time to make sure your signage stays safe.
4. Keep it safe from vandals. If your business is located in an area
that is frequently defaced, you may want to try hanging your banner
during business owners and removing it after you close. This does
add-up to extra work, but if businesses in the area are frequently
replacing their signs, this extra work may add up to extra savings.
Signage is important to a
business, if your signage is under attack, consider the following.
1. Place above human height.
2. Remove after hours. This can be done easily with our banner track
options.
3. Deter vandals with night reflective 'Video surveillance' stickers
and decals.
