New Tent Banner

LaCalif2 · Senior Member

Very attractive. Having it all at one level is a great idea. How much did it set you back? I have some new people handling games out here looking for best plaans,

Thank you, I designed the banner to 118" x 13", they printed it out for $54.00 plus $4.46 tax so it was $58.46 at the sign company. Then I had the Velcro sewed on at a local Tent and Awning company, for 1" Velcro on both the canopy top and banner it was $45.00. If I had to do it again I would use 2" Velcro.

here are the other 2 I designed and had made. I have to fix up a better way to display them though.

All look great. I suggest a pocket at the top of the map and septs so you can slide a dowel into it and keep it stiff. How much did the other two cost? I might like t get them for our tent out here.

I am working now on attaching a dowel to both of the small ones for the gathering at Sherman, Tx. I just finished with my trailer, replaced all the brakes, seals and bearing, took out the single 12v battery and put in dual 6v in new battery boxes and all new venting, replaced a pressure regulator on one of the propane tanks, cleaned and washed it down inside and out and sanitized the fresh water tank.

This will be just a one day outing as this will be the first one there and they want to see how it goes and then plan for a full weekend in the years after that.

I will be taking off in the morning and its only 90 miles but we may has some severe thunderstorms tomorrow but saturday looks good biggrin

The two small ones with Septs and Map were about $65 each because they are hemmed.

I just zip tied dowels through the eyelets for now, wife will try to put a pocket on the back latter on.

I often see "Young" being left off the list names associated with the Lamonts, is there a reason for this?

super8mm · Senior Member

Darn I never noticed that, I was in a hurry and I copied the list off the www.clsna.us/septs page

TXrose · Veteran Member

lol, I was just wondering if there was an actual reason behind that because I have seen it left out more than a few places.

I will have to find out and get a new banner made

thanks for letting me know though

Vista Print and Overnight prints usually have good specials going on often. I volunteer for a non profit so I am ordering banners more than I care to.

super8mm · Senior Member

The sept banner was $30, the map one was $70. The long one was $54 to print and another $40 to sew the Velcro on the banner and tent.

TXrose · Veteran Member

that isnt bad at all, sometimes vista and overnight have $5/$10 specials. Its worth checking out if you ever need to order anything else.

TXrose · Veteran Member

I paid maybe $10 with shipping for a table sized banner last time I needed one

Gosh that is cheap, did they have any limitations on file type or size?

i did mine in 32 bit color but have to render them back to make a 8 bit PDF for them so I lost some of the color variations.

I am not sure I would have to look again
