Need help identifying banner frame

[ddarlak]

I have to install a large banner on this frame. I have installed banners on frames before, but only using the retro SIGNCOMP version. I don't recognize this frame and was wondering what tools i would need for this frame. I have the SIGNCOMP tensioner tool, but something tells me this is different.



thanks

Looks like it could be an Ackland frame.

If so, you'll just need a nut driver and banner tape.

thanks, not sure that's the same system, frame looks different.

It might not be an ackland, but I bet it's the same idea. I'm pretty sure I installed one like that somewhere along the line. You mount a base to the wall. The base has banner tape around the edges with a shallow channel. You stick the banner all the way around, making it as tight as you can. The outer frame has an extrusion that fits into the channel of the base. You put it on, then screw it down, the extrusion pushes the banner into the channel, pulling it tight.

Yeah, in this case, I'd say no. Well, I wouldn't, because I like a challenge and I'm a glutton for punishment.
