What is the difference between an outdoor banner stand and an outdoor banner frame?

An outdoor banner stand is an outdoor version of our vertical banner stands. These come in roller banner or tensioned banner styles, like normal banner stands. They often have water bases for added stability outdoors. For other types of exterior windproof banner frames check out our full range of traditional banner frames, which includes A frames and pop-up banner frames.

Can I use a standard retractable banner stand outdoors?

This may be suitable in sheltered locations out of wind and rain but generally we don’t recommend it. A slight breeze and indoor banner stands will fall over damaging the stand and could be a danger to the public. Outdoor banner stands have water-fillable bases and other features for greater stability outdoors.

How weather resistant are outdoor banner stands?

Many outdoor banner stands have water fillable bases or weighted options for added stability, allowing them to handle a breeze. Being portable there is a limit to how much wind an outdoor banner can withstand so keep an eye on the weather and take your banner stand inside if stronger winds are forecast. As a guide, an unpegged water based banner stand should be stable in winds up to 7 mph / 11 kph, whilst pegged it will withstand winds of up to 24 mph / 38 kph. Graphics are printed onto weatherproof PVC banner material, which is durable and ideal for outdoor use.

Is the printed banner fade resistant?

Yes, the graphics are printed using UV stable inks onto waterproof PVC material which is very durable and fade resistant.

Can I use an outdoor banner stand on grass?

These freestanding outdoor banner stands can be used on grass, gravel, and other hard outdoor surfaces. Make sure that they are on even ground for best stability.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes, we do. To make ordering easy, some discounts are shown on the product pages. If you have a large event to promote and need even more stands please use the “request a quick quote” link on the product page.

How easy is it to change the banner?

If easy banner change is important, our outdoor X banner is the best option. Banners are easy to mount with eyelets so graphics can be changed rapidly.

Are the stands portable?

Yes, our outdoor banner stands are designed to be lightweight and portable, making them easy to transport and set up for events and shows. Bear in mind that you may need to empty the water out of the base to make them easier to handle.

Do you offer any alternative products to promote my outdoor event?

Other popular portable products for outdoor event promotion include Banner frames and feather flags. These options can all be used together for the greatest impact at your next event.

Outdoor Banner Stands

Outdoor banner stands are robust, weather-resistant displays designed to get your marketing message across no matter the weather at sports events, county shows, concerts and much more. These stands have sturdier bases and poles, so won't fall over in windy conditions, and also have waterproof graphics that won't get ruined in the rain.

The weatherproof PVC banner material used is designed to withstand the elements and is printed in house to ensure your graphics look their best come rain or shine.
