Installation Tools

• Small toolbox (always stocked and ready to go)
• Small drill with a 1/8" bit for securing the bungee retainers
• Phillips screwdriver for fastening the bungee retainer screws
• Tape measure (not always needed but nice to have)
• Utility or other style of knife (not always needed but nice to have)
• Channellock pliers (use to straighten deformed t-post tops)
• Flat rasp & round file (use to de-bur t-posts or improve clearance on post caps, etc.)  Not needed very often but nice to have available
• Gloves (especially when installing in rocky ground)
• Ear plugs (prevent ear damage when driving posts into ground)
• Post puller (optional but very handy to remove existing t-posts from ground)
• Post driver (I like the type that has a post straightener at the top, especially for rocky soil installs - available at Tractor Supply)
• Hand saw (not pictured: used to shorten pole covers on sloped installations)

Extra Parts
The following extra parts are suggested especially when servicing existing Banner Bar clients.  Extra parts are available by contacting us directly at [email protected]

• Extra set of bungee retainers
• Extra set of post caps
• Extra post extension
• Full set of bungees (top and side bungees).  We recommend keeping fresh bungees on your install truck or in your sales vehicles so you can quickly change your client's bungees when needed.

T-Posts
T-posts are inexpensive and readily available at most ranch supply stores.  See our recommended T-post and T-post driver suppliers here.   The Banner Bar is designed to work with 6.5' long t-posts.  T-posts are rated with a pound per foot rating.  The Banner Bar works with 1.25 lb per foot or 1.33 lb per foot t-posts.  Garden variety t-posts or U-channel posts are not compatible with the Banner Bar.

​It was not uncommon to drive by their place of business a few days later and see their brand new banner on the ground or shredded by the wind.  Many customers would get frustrated because they thought we'd sold them a poor quality banner that didn't last.  In reality, we produced their banners using quality materials and finishing techniques. The true culprit was the lack of a good frame system to hold their banner.  This problem set me on the path to create a solution for displaying freestanding banners that could withstand 30 to 40 mph winds.

​Three Post Configuration:

• Perfect for events requiring larger banners
• Telescoping design supports 12' wide or 16' wide banners
• Can be used to install one continuous banner or two banners side by side 

​V-Configuration:

• Provides excellent multi-direction visibility
• Can be used to display two different banners at the same time or two banners with the same message
• This is our most wind-proof configuration
