Banners Examples

I drove around town looking at some other banners and saw these examples. If you order a banner with grommets, the banner company will tell you to mount the banner using a frame that’s bigger than the banner and use bungee cords to suspend it in the middle of the frame. The problem is that the people who are telling you how to mount the banner are not interested in how the banner looks, but rather how long the banner lasts. What I mean by this is, they could care less if your banner mount looks appalling as long as you don’t call them up in two months complaining that your banner is ripped.
Further, as a church planter, I don’t see how these guys carry around the gear required to mount these things. A few years ago I had a mount similar to these and it was a pain in the neck to haul around, assemble, and take down each week. Not to mention it looked bad. Our first one was built out of heavy duty 2″ PCV pipe. In the middle of the winter the plastic cracked due to freezing temperatures. Our next frame was made out of 2×4′s. It was a heavy beast that stratched up my car. How do you mount your banner? I’d love to add a picture of your mount on here.
I have no idea how they set this thing up every week. Look at all it takes to keep the wind from blowing it down. Also, since it's made out of PCV there's a chance the PVC can crack. I'm speaking from experience. My old banner mount looked similar to this.
This isn't a church plant, but their perminate mount for banners is the best visual look you can get with this type of banner frame.
- Great looking professionally made banner mounts. These cost a little more, but if you’re putting the banners on concrete it’s the best option. They’r easy to set up, tear down, and store during the week. These banners use pole pockets instead of grommets.
Pole pockets with aluminum poles with a wooden cross beam.
