Blockout Banner Specifications

Our blockout banners are made from top-quality materials and offer diverse custom solutions. Read on to get more information about blockout banners installation, finishing, material and size options.

Installation and Finishing Options

Blockout banners are fully customizable for secure installation and long-lasting performance. Hemming can be applied on all sides or omitted entirely, while grommets are available every 2 feet on all sides, top and bottom only, left and right only, at the four corners, or omitted altogether. Custom grommet placements are also available.

For outdoor durability, banners can include wind slits (standard or none) to reduce strain in windy conditions. Webbing options (No Webbing, 1” webbing with or without D-rings, or 1” Velcro on all sides) reinforce edges for stronger mounting. Rope options range from 3/16” or 5/16” sewn on the top, bottom, or both. Corner reinforcement can be applied to the top, bottom, all corners, or omitted, providing additional strength where it’s needed most.
