Product Description

The Thunder Outdoor Double-Sided Roller Banner is a heavy-duty portable display designed for outdoor promotions, events and locations where your message needs to be seen from both directions.

Supplied with two bespoke printed 440gsm PVC graphics, large twin feet, a heavy-duty three-part bungee pole and ground pegs, the Thunder provides a substantial freestanding advertising display for outdoor use.

Each graphic measures 850mm wide × 2175mm high, giving you a large branded area on both sides of the stand.

Double-Sided Outdoor Advertising

Unlike a conventional single-sided roller banner, the Thunder displays a printed graphic on both sides.

This makes it particularly useful in open areas where customers, visitors or pedestrians may approach from different directions.

It can work well for:

• Outdoor events
• Sporting events
• Festivals
• Business promotions
• Hospitality venues
• Exhibitions
• Forecourts
• Charity events
• Open days
• Product launches
• Temporary outdoor advertising

Two Custom Printed Graphics Included

The Thunder is supplied with two custom printed graphics, one for each side of the display.

Each graphic measures:

850mm wide × 2175mm high

and is printed on 440gsm PVC banner material.

This gives you the option to use the same artwork on both sides or, where appropriate, create different messages for each direction.

440gsm PVC Graphics

The Thunder graphics are printed on 440gsm PVC, a versatile banner-grade material suitable for outdoor advertising applications.

The solid printed surface provides strong colour and visual impact, making it suitable for branding, promotional messages, photography and event graphics.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The Thunder has been designed as a more substantial outdoor display than a standard indoor roller banner.

Features include:

• Large twin feet
• Three-part heavy-duty bungee pole
• Multi-screw-secured snap rail
• Ground pegs
• Two printed graphics

These components help create a stable and practical display for suitable outdoor locations.

Ground Pegs Included

Ground pegs are supplied with the Thunder to help secure the unit in appropriate ground conditions.

When correctly installed, the system is designed for use in wind speeds of up to:

24mph / 38kph

The display should always be dismantled when conditions exceed the recommended limit or if the surrounding environment makes continued use unsafe.

Wind & Weather

Although the Thunder is designed for outdoor use, no portable display should be treated as suitable for all weather conditions.

Wind speed, ground conditions, positioning and correct use of the supplied pegs all affect the stability of the display.

Always monitor weather conditions and take the stand down when:

• Winds exceed 24mph / 38kph
• Ground conditions become unsuitable
• Heavy rain or gusting winds make the display unstable
• The stand cannot be securely pegged

Large Visible Graphic Area

Although each printed graphic is 2175mm high, the visible graphic area is:

850mm wide × 2025mm high

Part of the printed graphic remains within the roller mechanism, which is why the total printed height is greater than the visible display height.

This is normal for retractable banner systems.

Product Specification

Portable Outdoor Display

Despite its more substantial outdoor construction, the Thunder remains a portable promotional system.

This makes it useful for organisations that need outdoor advertising they can move between different events, venues and campaigns rather than installing permanent signage.

Thunder vs Indoor Roller Banners

A conventional indoor roller banner is designed primarily for exhibitions, receptions and other sheltered environments.

The Thunder is different because it includes:

• Double-sided graphics
• Larger twin feet
• Heavy-duty pole system
• Ground pegs
• Outdoor wind guidance

If your display will only be used indoors, a conventional roller banner may be more appropriate.

If you need a freestanding display for suitable outdoor use, the Thunder is designed specifically for that type of application.

Custom Printed to Your Artwork

Both graphics can feature your own:

• Company logo
• Brand colours
• Product photography
• Promotional offers
• Event information
• Sponsor branding
• Website address
• QR codes
• Calls to action

Because the display is visible from both directions, the Thunder can be particularly effective in open promotional areas.
