Huge Mesh Banner Printing & Install questions

[KingsofWraps]

I have to print a mesh fence banner that is 173' x 62.5" tall.

It is a steel fence and the height of the beams that goes across is exactly 62.5" tall.

Should I make the banner about 1 inch smaller in height? Exact size?

Obviously the roll doesn't come this size so I was possible thinking of breaking it into 4 sections? Any suggestions?
It's white background with red lettering, very basic design.

Also what type of tie wraps do you guys recommend?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and no I'm not outsourcing this!

is a steel fence the same as chain link? I would be tempted to say make the exact height and zip tie it around the back side

Honestly, I think I'd let someone else print it and just be responsible for installing it. Printing 4 sections over 5' × 44' is a little hairy. Sorry, it's not what you wanna hear.

The increments could be larger but one piece 173' ft wide is a little excessive don't you think? Standard rolls are 150' or 164'

If I were you I'd make it the height of the crossbars on the fence to make it easier to attach. I'd also do like 50' sections.

We did these types of banners for a school building a ball field recently. We did one as a 60" x 50' run and then 40 60" x 10' sections. We did it this was so that they could easily remove fences for equipment and etc.

It may not pertain to your situation, but thats how we did it.

Agree w/niknoobs

Holy crap, 173' banner as one piece? no way. largest one i did as one piece was 65' long. As mentioned above - brake it down if you gonna do it yourself, but i would outsource it ( How can you beat 1.00 Sq/ft?)

We did a 9' X 180' that was 3 pieces. Had Signs2Trade print it if I remember right. It was for a baseball windscreen. Just had grommets all the way around it, and it's been up 3 years now, no issues. We had a 10' fence, and kept it at 9' just because of mowing and weed whacking around it. Didn't want it to get chewed up by equipment.
