Outdoor Display
The most common method for displaying a banner outside is to hang it between two poles, trees, or other types of objects. For this method of installation, you can use either rope or bungee cords. We recommend the use of bungee cords as they allow for a small amount of give in the wind and are much easier to install (no knots). In order to hang the banner, secure the banner using bungee cords at all four corners of the banner to the poles or objects you are hanging it from. If you are using rope, thread each piece through the length of the banner using the grommets (holes) to add support. Pull the bungees/rope tight to eliminate sag in the middle of the banner. When doing this make sure to pull and secure the bungees/rope horizontally, not diagonally (see below for example). Doing this will better distribute the stress on the banner and increase its lifespan.
Another easy way to display your banner outdoors is to secure it to a chain link fence or other similar object using zip ties. Simply secure the banner at each grommet with a zip tie to the chain link fence.

Indoor Display
For permanent indoor displays, you can wall mount your banner using wood screws and washers. Identify a space that will allow you to insert screws into your wall, hold the banner against the wall and mark where the grommets are located, drill a hole at each of your marks, then place a washer behind each grommet and insert a screw through the grommet, the washer, and then into the wall.
For less permanent display methods, you can use one of BuildASign.com’s easy snap kits to hang the banner from the ceiling, suction cups to display it in a window, or our portable tri-stand to display it at tradeshows or at eye level with the customer on your sales floor.
