Do the BannerFlex Banner Brackets require periodic maintenance?
BannerFlex hardware products carry a 12-year warranty for a reason. They are virtually maintenance free, if installed according to our instructions. Wear and potential loosening of the actual bracket on the utility pole can occur if the fastening used to secure the bracket onto the pole, such as banding or bolts, is not at least the tightness, quality and strength of our recommendations in our instructions. Click here and find the Hardware Banding Guidelines for recommended fastening.
Note that it is not generally the BannerFlex hardware that requires maintenance, it is the fastening that should be routinely observed to be tight and secure. If you see any loosening of a Main Casting, the fastening needs to be remedied as soon as possible. Once the wind is allowed to “work away” on any installation it does not take long for the fastening to begin to fail and allow damage to the banner and for the hardware to become a hazard.
The BannerFlex System is not a “mechanical contraption”. Our system is designed as a flexible static system using today’s “space-age” materials to dissipate wind force from the utility pole and banner. For the ultimate in performance and maintenance-free longevity, choose our “Airow” products.
