Top 4 banner Installation Methods

Vinyl Banners can be used for a variety of purposes, and can be installed or displayed in a variety of ways depending on it's use. Our banners come with grommets, so each one is ready to hang.



Grommets are metal rings placed into the hem of the banner and allows for a large variety of hanging options. They provide a convenient method for attaching the banner at fixed points. The placement of the grommets distributes the weight of the banner evenly and keeps the banner from sagging. Typically, grommets should be placed every 2-3 feet along the edges of the banner. You can use use the grommets to hang your banner with rope, bungee cords, nails, zip ties, or suction cups.

Speedpro Frisco recommends the following installation methods:

1. Hanging with rope- Thread a piece of rope through the top row of grommets, leaving equal amounts of rope hanging from each end. Thread another piece of rope through the bottom grommets and tie the ropes to support poles. This process creates an even balance of weight and reduces pressure on the banner.

2. Hanging with bungee cords- Wrap a bungee cord around each support pole or tree and hook each cord into one of the banner’s corner grommets. This will require at least 4 bungee cords (one for each corner).

3. Hanging with zip ties- Zip ties are best for displaying your banner on a fence. They can be wrapped around the fencing and zip-tied through the grommets.

4. Hanging against a building- Lay the banner against the side of the building with the grommets flush against it. Place a washer over the grommet and follow it with a screw to secure the banner to the wall of the building. This is best for long-term outdoor banners because it will reduce the amount of force on banner when exposed to outdoor elements.

We can also create a pole pocket, so you can hang it from a pole and use it as a back drop. Request a quote for your custom banner, and give us a call if you have any questions!
