Hanging a mesh banner permanently?

I need to hang a couple of solvent printed mesh banners (6' x 9') on a covered porch. They will be considered permanent. My initial thought is to pole pocket the top & bottom, and insert metal conduit, then eye-bolt ends of conduit and use stainless cable thru the conduit and hitched from the 4 corners to turnbuckles/eye bolts on the wooden structure of the porch.

I am thinking to hem all seams and sew in nylon flat webbing as well.

My thought is that as slack develops, the turnbuckles can be tightened up.

Is there a better way to do this?

I am intrigued with the idea of rolling a piece of pipe with adhesive into unhemmed mesh and getting a cleaner look and also wondered if anything ever became of the product that led me in this direction:

Any sage advice would be much appreciated.

i had 3 - 25' x 20' mesh banners up permanently for three years on the back of a stadium mounted on cables with turnbuckles. they were only taken down because the ad/sponsorship was finished.

Looking for an elegant looking installation---

Porch gets some wind, but that is not my concern.

i want this to look great and be able to tension as needed.
