Abstract
A double wide pole bracket and banner system is used to apply banners to poles. The double wide pole bracket system uses slotted, typically steel channel brackets that are affixed to the pole using long, slotted hose clamps with Neoprene pads to protect the pole and prevent slipping. The banner itself can be designed to attach to the brackets with zip ties with a reinforced cutout in the center of the top and bottom hem that permits mounting without infringing on the view of the banner's content. The double wide pole bracket and banner system permits a significantly wider, stronger and more taut pole bracket and banner solution as compared to conventional solutions. The banners can be, for example, as wide as five feet of continuous banner, making the message visible and understandable.
