Ideas For Frame/Stand For Club Banner

Post by **Gayno** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:05 pm

So I have the club banner at the moment, and it got me thinking.

Last year we tied it to a marquee and let it swing about in the wind, looked a little half-arsed really.

The bigger clubs seem to have a frame it attaches to, and then it stands neatly at the front of the club stand.

I don't mind getting the stuff required and putting it together, but what do people think is best?

I was thinking of using some PVC piping, like in your kitchen or bathroom, but the joiners would make it look a bit ugly on the corners maybe.

The banner measures 6 feet by 3 feet, so whatever is used will need to be collapsible to fit easily into the car and for storage.

Any other ideas?

As a very basic drawing of my thinking:

So I would've used a brace or 2 in the middle to stop it sagging.

What are the dimensions of the banner?
