Hey Gang,

I'm in need of a banner in the shape of the end of a house (picture a 28x7 foot rectangle with a triangle on top) in a decent weight (13-16oz.?). I need about 6 of them for a mobile home lot. Probably be best in red or white. I'm hoping to go without seams... any thoughts on who would be the best choice for something like this? Anything already made, maybe? Ever done a crazy banner like this yourself?

Words of wisdom (related to this project) appreciated.

you'll probably have to get a stretch face manufacturer to do a banner that large(like they use on billboards etc,...). You will also need a diagram to scale showing any mounting procedures you'll need to have included in the fabrication of something that large. Those type of banners use a fiberglass rod inside of a pocket & those are attached with tie down ratchet straps to something strong enough to carry the wind load specs for something that large. As for seams that may very well depend on the fab process,.. it may not be an option with somthing that large.
Hope this helps you,...
