Anybody know where I can get 26oz white banner material? My customer sais it is what they used to use. I'm searching the net, no luck sofare. They'll be 6'x6' with 4' diameter red dot. He uses them as targets for his indoor golf dome(range). He runs a target golf league through the winter. So these thing are peppered with golf balls nightly. Any help in finding this product, or something similar would be appreciated. Thanks!

No, He isn't 100% Karyn. I tried 18oz & the golf balls ripped it to shreds. I found 22oz., but that doesn't seem much thicker than the 18oz. Maybe some type of netting would be the answer?

I would try using canvas instead of a vinyl banner material. I'm sure someone on the site has a source for canvas. Good luck!

I don't know if it'll help but can't a banner supplier sew a couple of banners together for 2 or 3 layers? Instead of just sewing the edges they could sew it every 12 inches horizontaly and verticaly.

Tom...

I would try an upholstery shop. I have seen some heavy white vinyl material that is used to make boat covers and such....not sure what the weight is in ounces but its real thick stuff.

Try contacting a place that makes Tonneau covers for pickup trucks or boat covers.

Thanks for all the ideas. I've been at my son's Hockey game for the last two hours. Letterville can even work for you while your away. I have to sign-up soon. This place is a real asset.
I'm gonna try the canvas shops in the morning. If I can't find any 1 ply material that can take the punishment I'll try Brian's idea. That should work. Thanks again!
