Suggestions fixing banner on chain link fence

[bigben]

I need suggestions other than plastic tie wraps to hold a banner on a chain-link fence. It's not a large banner, just 38in x 80in. I've used stainless steel tie wraps before, and even though they are rated for 250lbs, I’ve had issues with them in the past, even on smaller banners.

Thanks.

Fasten a 2"× 4" board top & bottom with chain link fasteners, then screw the banner fast to the runners. Fender washers help tremendously.

I've suggested something similar but the customer "did not like the look". yeah, I know.

bungee cords if you have grommets.
That banner is small. Keeps it nice and tight.
And will flex with the wind…

I like the idea but could be a bit expensive. What else would you use for larger and more permanent jobs?

I'm very skeptical the plastic would hold up. Plus it seems more suitable for rigid signs.

Bungee cord are a bit expensive? You can get a bucket of them for $10 at Home Depot.

That's not a large banner. Use UV rated plastic zip ties. Try going to a mesh banner that lets the wind though. I have about 50... 4'x50' mesh banners all over the country on construction sites and no issues.

It’s a baby banner. Go to yours local dollar store and purchase a 4 pack lol for a dollar or two

I’ve used these brackets for affixing rigid signs to chain link fences. They work really well for signs, might work for banners too.

We have done team fence signs for multiple schools for years. Working on an order for a softball team this week.

If the banner is tight it won't whip, thus tearing it. Too much tension on the corners and grommets tear out, even though the max shear is in the center and works it's way out to the edges and then to the corners. Yet we expect grommets in the corner to resist the wind of the whole banner. We mostly use 75lbs zips, but we space them accordingly: a least every 12" for a 'free air' install, 24" on walls. Standard ball field fence banners are every 12". We've been doing 4, 4'x64' mesh banners about 32' feet high on top of the high school football bleachers for a few years now. The two facing the field are on chain-link and the two facing the parking lot are on an aluminum tube frame.They have grommets every 12" and extra webbing in the corners. We only use black zips since they are UV resistant and double them up where needed. We stretch them tight.

Hope this helps
