Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Monday, December 9, 2013
If you are reading this, probably you have purchased or designed a custom flag of your own. You would probably be thinking of how to properly place them so as to make good use of it. One of the simplest and easiest ways to mount these is by hanging flags top wise. For more options here are some other ways, with their pros and cons.
Flat Wall Mounting – banners and the larger flags have eye lets or grommets situated along the perimeter. These fixtures allow them to be mounted on wide, flat surfaces. For wooden or dry walls, you have the option of using push pins through the grommets, or make use of screws as anchors. Harder surface such as brick or cement would require permanent bores made by a drill to place cement nails, or screws. While the latter is more secure, it needs a more complicated skill set, as well as the prospect of leaving your dry surface with a permanent hole.
Sheet Metal Surface – there are specialized screws and washers for metal. Much like cement surfaces needing plastic tox and screws as mounting anchors, metal screw and washers allow proper grip and prevent slippage. There are select brands which are well known, and suggested by wall mounting websites.

Synthetic Stucco Surface – these surfaces have layers which may prove difficult to mount the usual anchors such as screws and washers unless these have large threads. However, these mountings are not for long term mounting as they quite deteriorate and lose grip in the long run. Since the surface is covered with a sufficient layer of polystyrene foam, this is best used for short time and light custom flag mounts in exhibits and the like.
