Rod And String
The banner ships with a rod through the top and a string already attached, which is the difference between hanging it and improvising with tape. The rod holds the top edge straight so the print does not fold in on itself, and the string loops over a hook, a nail, a branch or a curtain rail. Taking it down is one motion, so a rental space can be cleared quickly.
Polyester Not Paper
Textured polyester is the reason these can hang for a weekend rather than an afternoon. The fabric holds its color under hours of direct glare and does not go soft in humidity the way a printed paper banner does by the end of a July evening. Printing is sharp on the texture, so the hibiscus and palm detail holds up at close range as well as from the far side of the yard.
Holes At Hem
Anything hanging outdoors will move in a breeze, and a banner that twists shows its back. Holes along the bottom edge take a tie, a hook or a length of string down to a railing, which holds the panel flat and keeps the greeting readable. On a fence or a porch rail that lower fixing is what makes the difference between decoration and a flapping sheet.
Porch And Fence
Two banners cover the two places guests look: the front of the house on the way in and the back yard where the party is. One on the porch, one across a fence, a garage door or the side of a drinks table. Long and narrow suits a doorway or the rail of a deck better than a square sign, and the pair returns for a pool party in August.
