Pole banners can be used inside and outside, though where you place them will impact what they’re made out of.
While some outdoor pole banners are made of 13-ounce vinyl just like indoor versions, many feature 16-ounce or 18-ounce vinyl for its greater durability in applications where they may be exposed to the wind, rain, sun and snow. For this reason, outdoor pole banners are also equipped with grommets, whereas indoor pole banners do not feature grommets. These metal-rimmed eyelets enable users to attach rope or ties for greater stability in the breeze.
