When you are planning for that big presidents day parade consider the type of banner you will use. We specific types of vinyl banners for parades with the appropriate pole pockets already installed for you. All you need it the pole to slide through the banner. For example this presidents day banner can be purchased with or without the pole pockets. If you opt to buy it without you will either need to hang the sign using the supplied grommets and rope or have 4 or more people holding it to be able to support it.
