Pole Banners

Absolutely! We’d love to help you get the perfect design for your banner. We are proud of our design services and the best part is they are completely FREE.

Some common uses for pole banners are signs on light poles or lamp posts along main roads, streets, boulevards, and city avenues. They’re also commonly used to advertise at car dealerships and promote events, celebrations, and anniversaries for municipalities or college campuses. You also see them used for seasonal promos during the summer and winter holidays.

The only way you can feature two graphics on the same hardware arm is having a double-sided banner. You cannot have two separate banners slid onto the poles and hardware kits. That’s why we recommend selecting the “2 sides different” option when designing your banners online.

Yes, you can display the custom pole banners indoors and outdoors. The grommets let you secure the banner with zip ties in case of moderate winds. While weather conditions and general climate will affect the lifespan of your banners, they are produced to withstand prolonged outdoor use. The biggest potential problem for your banners is extreme weather. If such weather is imminent, we recommend removing your banners until the weather passes.

For maximum stability, we recommend installing your pole banner on a curved surface. However, customers have successfully installed pole banners onto square poles and other flat surfaces.

Since our banners are UV safe, they are resistant to fading under direct sunlight. However, over an extended period in UV light, they will show signs of wear and tear. Thanks to our digital printing method, however, your graphics will not wear off.

We don’t offer our pole banners with wind slits. While there may be some benefit of doing so, the wind slits also make your banner less architecturally sound, more prone to ripping and tearing, and create less visibility on your graphics.

Absolutely! Pole banners and their hardware are reusable. When not on display, be sure to clean them off, and store them rolled up, inside a hard container, or anywhere where no objects rest on top of them. We recommend storing them in a dry environment and away from items that may scratch or damage the banner material. Pole banners are usually intended for short-term or one-time use. In case you want to use them again, review your design for specific dates or times that may prevent you from displaying them again.

Since these banners are exposed to the elements more than some of our other products, they typically have a shorter lifespan. But with proper installation and care, you should be able to use them for two or more years.

Follow the steps below for proper installation of your pole banner to the hardware:

1. Enlist the help of another individual to install the hardware. Start with measuring the length of your banner and placing the mounting brackets against the post or pole. There should be a proper distance between the brackets based on your banner’s length.
2. Fasten the mounts to the pole with the four steel bands. You’ll use two steel bands per mounting bracket.
3. Once the brackets are fixed to the pole, you can insert each of the fiberglass arms in, one per bracket. To secure the fiberglass arms to the mounts, you will use the threaded screws, one per bracket. The pin with key ring will be inserted into the other hole on the mounting bracket and is used to attach a zip tie from the keyring to the grommet on your banner.
4. After installing the hardware, you may start to slide the pole banner onto each of the extended fiberglass arms, sliding both the top and bottom portions of the banner onto the arms at the same time until the arms are completely covered by the graphic.
5. To secure your banner to the hardware, fasten with zip-ties (optional) through each of the grommets on the graphic’s side of the hardware and loop the zip-ties through the pin’s keyring. Fastening the graphic to the hardware will improve the banner’s resistance to wind and keep it in place during windy conditions.
