Pole-Banner-Brackets

Our standard bracket kits come in two sizes we call Deluxe and Junior. The Deluxe bracket kits are made of cast aluminum alloy bases. The fiberglass banner bracket arms are constructed with an aluminum collar at the inboard end that is inserted into the mast in the bracket base. This collar offers stability and rigidity between the banner arm and the base. The kits are supplied with 6 stainless steel bands, 2 security clips, and 2 steel wire ties to secure the banner to the banner bracket base,  The Deluxe model bases are silver in color.

The Junior bracket kits are constructed with the same high-quality materials and are used typically on smaller banner installations. Often these brackets are used on smaller, more traditional light posts that are decorative in nature and often painted black. The Junior model bases and banding are black in color to match the light poles being used.

Both of our banner bracket systems are engineered to withstand wind loads up to 75 mph when professionally installed. Professional sign installers will carry out all the proper techniques and methods to ensure the brackets will perform as intended, and be capable of handling periodic wind gusts of 75 mph. Clearly, banners will act as sails during extremely high wind events and no banner installation should remain up during prolonged and excessive wind conditions.

If possible, it’s always best to have a professional sign installation company install your banners. These companies have the equipment and expertise to ensure your banner install project is done according to best practices and will give you years of trouble-free service. You can always contact the International Sign Association and inquire about locating an installer in your area. You can find them at this address:

If you are having the installation done in-house there are some key points to keep in mind. Large vertical banners are very susceptible to wind pressure and act as “sails” when there’s a significant breeze happening. The single-most important aspect of a proper banner install is that the banner is held extremely taut between the top and bottom banner arms. There should be no “twist” in the banner arms relative to the light pole. The top and bottom banner arms need to be in perfect alignment, both at zero degrees in relation to the light pole. If the banner arms are protruding off the light pole at different degrees, the banner, once installed, will have an induced “twist” in its’ profile which will cause it to bow and create an even more significant, wind sail, which is detrimental to the banner integrity and induces undesirable wind load on the light pole itself. 

Here is an example of a professionally installed light pole banner. Notice the banner is held extremely taut between the top and bottom banner arms and is projecting off the light pole with no twist.

We offer 3 styles of premium light pole banner brackets. For smaller decorative light poles we have a black powder coated Junior model. For larger light poles we have a silver powder coated Deluxe model. For high wind locations, we offer a premium spring loaded bracket system which will withstand even the highest and most prolonged wind events.

Light pole banner brackets are sold by reputable sign and banner manufacturing companies. There are however, many inexpensive and poorly made brackets available on the internet. To protect your investment in high quality light pole banners, it makes sense to pair them with high quality light pole banner brackets.
