Browse the fixing options below to find the most suitable solution for your banner and installation point.

Banner Fixings for Indoor & Outdoor Displays

Choosing the correct fixing is an important part of installing a printed banner.

The best option will depend on the size of the banner, where it is being installed, the supporting structure and whether the display is being used indoors or outdoors.

Sussex Banners supplies a range of practical fixing options designed to help secure banners to fences, railings, frames and other suitable structures.

Bungee Ball Ties

Bungee ball ties provide a quick and convenient way of securing banners through their eyelets.

The elasticated cord provides some flexibility between the banner and supporting structure, which can be particularly useful for outdoor installations.

They are easy to fit, remove and reuse and can be suitable for many temporary and promotional banner applications.

Elasticated Bungee Cord

Bungee cord provides a more flexible fixing method for applications where a longer continuous length of elasticated cord is required.

Because the cord stretches, it can help absorb some movement rather than transferring every force directly to the banner eyelets.

Our bungee cord can be ordered by length to suit the installation.

Rope for Banner Installation

Traditional rope remains a simple and versatile method of securing banners.

It can be useful where banners need to be tied to railings, fences, posts or other suitable fixing points.

Our 6mm rope is supplied by the linear metre, allowing you to order the quantity required for your installation.

Cable Ties for Banners

Cable ties provide a straightforward and inexpensive method of securing banners through eyelets.

They can be useful for short-term displays and sheltered locations where only limited movement is expected.

For more exposed outdoor installations, an elasticated fixing may often be preferable because cable ties do not stretch and can transfer more stress directly to the banner eyelets.

Which Banner Fixing Should I Choose?

For many outdoor banners, elasticated bungee fixings can provide an advantage because they allow some movement.

For temporary sheltered displays, cable ties may provide a simple and economical solution.

Rope can be useful where the fixing points are further away or where a more flexible tying arrangement is required.

The correct choice ultimately depends on the banner size, location and supporting structure.

Helping Your Outdoor Banner Last Longer

Correct installation can make a significant difference to the working life of an outdoor banner.

Avoid stretching the banner excessively tight and make sure the load is distributed across multiple fixing points rather than relying on only a small number of eyelets.

Regularly inspect banners installed outdoors, particularly after poor weather, and remove them if conditions become unsafe.

No fixing system can guarantee protection against damage in severe winds or inappropriate installation conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to fix an outdoor banner?

The best fixing depends on the size and location of the banner. Elasticated bungee fixings are often useful outdoors because they provide some movement and can reduce direct stress on the eyelets.

Are bungee ties reusable?

Yes. Bungee ball ties can normally be removed and reused provided they remain in good condition.

Can I use cable ties for a banner?

Yes. Cable ties can be useful for temporary or sheltered installations, although they provide no elasticity and can place more stress on banner eyelets in windy conditions.

Can I use rope to hang a banner?

Yes. Rope can be a practical option where suitable fixing points are available.

How many fixings do I need?

This depends on the banner dimensions, eyelet spacing, installation location and expected conditions. Larger or more exposed banners generally require more evenly distributed fixing points.

Will elasticated fixings prevent wind damage?

No fixing can guarantee against wind damage. Elasticated fixings can help reduce shock loading, but banners should still be installed appropriately and removed when conditions become unsuitable.

Can you advise which fixing I need?

Yes. Tell us the banner size, where it will be installed and what it will be attached to and we can help recommend a suitable fixing option.
