Outdoor Banner Stands For Outdoor Stability

When it comes to trade shows, for the most part these are held in convention centers or other large buildings with adequate floor space, such as exhibition centers. However, not all tradeshow or conventions are held inside, with some of them, especially in the summer, being held in an outdoor location. In these instances, for the tradeshow exhibitor who wants to put on an eye-catching display, what is needed is an outdoor banner stand which is strong enough to withstand things such as heavy wind and sometimes rain. For this, an outdoor banner stand needs a heavy base, a strong frame, some extra methods of securing it, such as rope, and should be quick to setup. This article will look at these points in turn, and discuss some considerations which need to be taken into account when choosing an outdoor banner stand for exterior exhibitions.

When doing a tradeshow outside, and using banner stands, it is essential that the banner is secure and will not blow away in heavy wind or be damaged by heavy rain or other bad weather conditions. For this reason, a heavy base is crucial, and should be one of the first things to look for when choosing an outdoor banner stand. The heavy base can be made or something very heavy such as concrete, and supplied by the tradeshow organizers. However, this is not portable, and so most outdoor banner stands are supplied with a heavy plastic base which is enough to secure the stand.

Next in order off importance is the security off the frame. In high winds a very lightweight frame could easily buckle and easily destroy the graphic, which is the last thing you want when you are in the middle of a tradeshow. For this reason the frame of the banner stand should be strong enough to withstand most average weather conditions, and should be strengthened at certain points in order to make sure that it just does not collapse. Aluminum is a good choice since this material has a reputation for being strong and yet lightweight enough to ensure that the stand remains portable.

As well as having a strong frame and a heavy base, an outdoor banner stand should also come with ways of ensuring that the stand is extra secure. One of the main ways that this is done is for the banner stand to have eyelets that enable the graphic in the frame to be tied to another stable object such as a post or possibly some heavyweights on the floor. If you intend to display at tradeshow that is taking place in a location where high winds are a possibility then this extra method for securing your banner stand is essential.

As well as the three points mentioned above, it is also crucial that an outdoor banner stand is quick to setup, since you may be working in conditions that are less than ideal. The last thing you want is to have to take 30 minutes to setup the stand in high winds or pouring rain and a banner stand should also be easy to secure.

As can be seen, there are several things to take into account when choosing a banner stand that will be used as a tradeshow where you will be exhibiting outside. One of the most important, of course, is stability, and that should be top of the list for any would-be exhibitor at an outside tradeshow. In order to find the right outside banner stand, take time to do some research one of the many tradeshow furniture supplies or banner stand specialists and you are sure to find a unit that is right for you.
