Banner Hanging in Brugge

I snapped this photo of an outdoor banner hanging at the Grand Platz in Brussels Belgium a few weeks ago. What is really cool is the way they hang the banner so the wind doesn’t tear it down.

It’s a little hard to see the hanging system in the photo (see the closeup photo), but the outdoor banner has pole pockets top and bottom, and the poles are suspended with bungee cords at all four corners.

This allows the banner to move and shed the wind, keeping the wind load to a minimum on the outdoor banner.

Here’s a closeup of the bungee cord hanging system used in conjunction with pole hardware and a banner finished with pole pockets.
