Warranty and Care Recomendations
Flying Banner care recommendations
Weather conditions will largely determine the length of the life of a Flying Banner. A Flying Banner that weathers extreme conditions will not last as long as a Flying Banner flown in calm climates. Ultra violet rays and high winds cause the breakdown of fibres in the material, particularly the sewn edges at the extremities.
The life of a Flying Banner also depends upon its flying time. A Flying Banner that is flown constantly (24 hours per day) cannot last as long as a Flying Banner flown from morning till night. It must be recognised that the flying time of a constantly used Flying Banner is more than doubled, thus its life is considerably reduced.
Flying Banners can be expected to last between 6 and 9 months, however they have been known to last 2 years. They have also lasted less than 3 months on occasion, having been damaged by severe conditions, or by hitting against a roof or a wall during flying.
To lengthen the life of your Flying Banner, ensure that it flies freely. It should not be impeded by surrounding structures. It is important that it is properly attached to the pole so that it does not wrap itself around it repeatedly. If you wish to maximise its life, bring it in each evening and in bad weather.
Always make sure the flag is firmly attached to the pole, this will help stop the flag moving on the pole and resulting in rubbing at the pole tip.
Take care when attaching Flag to pole, never force the pole into the sleeve of the flag
Simply work around and through the sleeve slowly.
Taking care and following these recommendations your Flying Banner will last for some time.
