The average height of a roller banner, you know the
ones that arrive in a neat carry-case, retractable, is 6’ 5”.
I’m 5’ 4½”. So opening the case, pulling out the banner, hooking the looong pole into the top of the banner, takes some doing, (standing on a chair is not an option, borrowing a tall person – maybe, but not always readily available) unless you have a method.
And I have the perfect method!
To extend the Roller Banner
- Remove the banner from the case
- Remove the folded pole from the banner insert
- Extend the pole to full size
- Place roller banner on the floor
- Insert the pole into the metal casing hole
- Important
Do not pull out banner feet at this stage
- With plenty of room behind you, hold the pole, grip the top of the roller banner firmly, walk backwards pulling out the banner horizontally as you go – roughly shoulder height.
- With the banner fully extended (still roughly shoulder height) hook the pole into the top of the banner.
- Push the banner into the upright position
- Pull out banner feet.
Bingo – one fully extended roller-banner!
To collapse the Roller Banner
Push the banner feet back into the base
