​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

​The video features a V-Config Banner Bar recently installed by Blackout Graphics to promote their client's 50th year anniversary event.  Prior to purchasing the V-Config, the dealership used an old marquee sign to display their promotional messages.  Their marquee sign not only looked outdated but it was also very difficult to read at 45 MPH.   

The V-Config Banner Bar solved the following problems for the dealership:

• They needed a quick solution to display banners professionally (Blackout Graphics had 3 days to deliver and install)
• Solution for quick and easy banner changes for future promotions
• A banner frame that could be moved to different locations when needed 
• Excellent visibility at 45 MPH drive-by speeds
• Ability to display two different banners at the same time
• Modern replacement for their outdated yellow marquee sign
• A banner frame that can withstand windy conditions
