Alpine Bank serves the community by displaying non-profit fundraising event banners in high traffic areas Alpine Bank Montrose has a mission to be highly supportive of the Montrose community. One way they support our community is by offering to display banners promoting non-profit and other community events in front of their Montrose bank locations. They previously installed these banners using the typical "green T-post" banner installation method. As is often the case, the banners looked fine for a day or two until breezy or outright windy conditions caused the banners to collapse under the wind loading. Even if the banners were not damaged in the wind, they still looked unprofessional because of the unsightly look of T-posts. When larger banners were installed, the problem became even worse. To solve the banner installation problem, Alpine Bank purchased a couple of Standard Banner Bar kits. This allowed them to display single sided or double sided banners at both locations. They loved the fact that they could now install the banners and forget about them (Read Brian's review of the Banner Bar). As demand grew to display more events, they upgraded their banner displays to the V-Configuration Banner Bar kits allowing two unique events to be displayed at one time at each bank location. The V-Config also improved readability for traffic traveling both directions.

This campaign banner was installed in September, 2019 using a typical "four post installation" method. It was just a matter of days after the banner was initially installed that it was entirely wadded up from fall Colorado winds. As you can see, not only did the banner blow down but it was shredded and damaged by one of the posts protruding through the banner. We were contacted urgently Monday morning from a representative helping with this particular campaign. He asked how quickly we could print a new banner (we didn't print the original banner). I informed him that we could have a new banner produced the next day and by the way, we have a solution to install the new banner so it would withstand the windy fall season. He promptly agreed to purchase the new banner and a two section Banner Bar kit. The new banner was installed the following day using three new T-posts and two telescoping Banner Bars connected with a "Center T-post Clip". This configuration held the banner sized at 40" x 192" (3.33' x 16').
Twenty eight days after the banner was installed on The Banner Bar, it still looked great despite taking the abuse of windy conditions on a regular basis.
