Pole Banners

Our pole banners are made from 18 oz. vinyl. We’ve found that vinyl is the best material for outdoor pole banners due to its durability. We don’t currently offer any other materials for custom pole banners.

We call this product a pole banner but some other common names for the same thing are those listed above. All of these other names are typically used interchangeably and the product is the same. So no matter what term you use it’s safe to assume you’re getting what we call a pole banner. If you’re still not sure don’t hesitate to contact us to make sure what we offer is what you need!

We offer our pole banners with three different widths, 18”, 24”, and 30”. For each of these widths we offer lengths every six inches from 24” to 96” long (i.e. 18”x24” - 18”x96”, 24”x24” - 24”x96”, 30”x24”- 30”x96”). The minimum size is 18”x24” and a maximum size of 30”x96”.

The most common sizes for pole banners are 18”x36”, 24”x36”, and 30”x36”.

Yes! Although the widths we allow are only 18”, 24”, and 30” we offer additional lengths other than the default of every six inches. We offer lengths every whole inch between 24” and 96”. If you need a custom length between 24” and 96” please contact us.

We offer two inch pole pockets on our pole banners which fit hardware arm poles up to 1.25” in diameter. We also offer pole banners with three and four inch pockets. Three inch pockets allow for hardware arms 1 1/4” to 1 13/16” in diameter. Four inch pockets allow for hardware arms 1 13/16” to 2 7/16” in diameter. For banners with three or four inch pockets selected as an option, hardware is unavailable at the current time.

Our pole banners are standard cut which means they will be a rectangular shape. We don’t currently offer halo, contour, or any other cuts for pole banners.

We include four brass grommets on each pole banner. These grommets are included at no additional cost and are placed at each of the four corners of the banner under/above the pole pockets. These grommets are excellent for using zip-ties or another type of fastener to secure the banner to the hardware to help keep the pole banner in place. Grommets aren’t optional and are included on each banner. Grommet position isn’t customizable.

We offer the hardware or pole banner kit as an additional option to the banner in the event that you don’t have pre-existing hardware or need a banner at a different length than your pre-existing hardware. Thus, if you are looking for a graphic without the optional hardware you may order a banner as a standalone item. We do not currently offer only the hardware or kit without a banner.

Lastly, only the banners with 2” pole pockets are available to be ordered with hardware or a kit. Banners with 3” or 4” pole pockets can not have hardware shipped with them at this time.

To secure hardware to a pole or post, mounting brackets are to be fastened and secured with the steel bands included in the hardware kit. These steel bands extend in length to 47”. This means the circumference or perimeter of the desired install pole must be less than 47”. Assuming the pole is less than 47” in circumference or perimeter there are no restrictions as to where your mounting bracket and pole banner can be installed.

No. Currently we are unable to offer only hardware or the kit as a standalone purchase. The hardware or kit is only available as an option when purchasing 2” pole pocket banners.

Our pole banners are printed with an area of your selected size. If you are wanting a banner measuring 18”x36” you will able to print your graphic within an 18”x36” area. This area includes both top and bottom pole pockets and should be factored into your design. If you don’t want to print your design on either of the pole pockets factor in two inches from both the top and bottom of the pole banner.

Unfortunately the only way to feature two graphics on the same hardware arm is by having a double sided banner. The poles and hardware kit can not have two separate banners slid onto them. Nonetheless, you are able to print the two side differently by selecting the “2 Sides Different” option while designing your banners on our design tool.

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 to your graphic.

Absolutely! Pole banners and their hardware are reuseable. When not in use be sure to clean them off and store them rolled up and placed in a hard container or somewhere where objects won’t be placed on top of them. We recommend storing them in a dry environment and away from items that may scratch or damage the banner material. Many times pole banners are intended for short term or one time use. Be sure to check that your design has evergreen information and not specific dates or times that may prevent you from using the banner again in the case of annual events.

To install your pole banner you’ll want to begin by installing the hardware unless you having pre-existing hardware already in place. To install the hardware you may require the help of a second person to assist you. Begin by measuring the length of your banner and place the mounting brackets up against the desired post or pole with the proper distance between them based on the length of you banner. Fasten the mounts to the pole with the four steel bands. You’ll use two steel bands per mounting bracket. 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. 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. To secure your banner to the hardware, fasten with zip-ties (optional) through each of the grommets on the side of the graphic where the hardware is and loop the zip-tie through one the pin’s keyring. Fastening the graphic to the hardware will improve the banners resistance to wind and keep it in place during windy conditions.

You can absolutely use two banners on the same pole or post. In order to get this look you’ll need to order two pole banners and two sets of hardware. If you are wanting the same graphic for each you can simply add hardware as an option and change your quantity of banners to two before checkout. When installing the banners you’ll install both sets of hardware but use a single steel band for mounting both the top and bottom sets of mounts. Doing so will leave you with four extra bands once the installation is complete. This is only possible with 2” pole pocket banners due to the fact that 3” and 4” pole pocket banners are not currently sold with the optional hardware kit.

Wrinkles may occur during shipment and storage. Luckily they are normal and can easily be removed. To remove any wrinkles unroll the banner and place it flat on a table outdoors during a warm sunny day. After a few hours the warmth of the sun should ease any light wrinkles out of the material. Installing them and having them sit in the sun should do the same thing!
