Fence Wraps & Banners
Turn a Fence Into a Display
Custom fence wraps put your artwork, project information, sponsors, or team branding across a fence. Choose 8 oz vinyl mesh for an open construction that lets some air and light through, or 13 oz solid vinyl for a continuous print surface and stronger-looking colors.
Fence banners, wraps, screens, and coverings are names commonly used for these displays. Typical projects include construction and renovation sites, schools, sports fields and stadiums, marathons, concerts, parks, fairs, conventions, trade shows, business promotions, and advertising locations.
This guide includes options available by request even when not listed online. PDQ Signs 903-533-8050.
Choose Mesh or Solid Vinyl
8 oz Vinyl Mesh
Machine-fabricated flexible PVC mesh has approximately 70% solid material and 30% open area. This 70:30 construction allows some air and light to pass through. It is not a measured guarantee of 30% airflow or a wind-speed rating.
Mesh is partially see-through and can make printed colors appear less dense than on solid vinyl. It is often the better starting choice for exposed fences, but it still places wind loads on the fence and attachments. The material and UV ink have a matte appearance. Thickness is approximately 0.0120 inches, roughly three sheets of copy paper.
13 oz Solid Vinyl
Solid PVC vinyl has no mesh openings, giving artwork a continuous surface and more vibrant-looking color. It provides greater visual screening but catches more wind. The base material is semi-gloss; printed UV ink has a more matte appearance, so unprinted areas may reflect differently.
Thickness is approximately 0.0156 inches, roughly four sheets of copy paper. The standard unprinted material is white. For an 18 oz solid-vinyl alternative, request a separate quote.
How Much Privacy or Light Control Will I Get?
Mesh's approximately 70% material coverage is not complete privacy. Visibility varies with lighting, viewing angle, artwork, and what is behind the fence. Solid vinyl provides continuous visual coverage, but request a suitable blockout specification if total light blocking is essential. Allow for the mounting clearances around the wrap.
How Are They Printed?
Both materials are digitally printed in full color with UV ink that offers fade, abrasion, and water resistance. Using more colors, images, or graphics does not add a separate color charge. Size, material, quantity, finishing, and artwork services can still change the final price.
These fence wraps are single-sided. For double-sided viewing, request a suitable 18 oz double-sided banner rather than assuming the mesh or 13 oz fence wrap can be printed on both faces.
Measure Before Ordering
There is no single standard fence size. Measure the usable length and height, posts, gates, changes in level, and any obstructions rather than relying on a typical backyard-fence height.
For a full-height wrap, plan the banner approximately 3 inches shorter than the fence height. A 6-foot fence is 72 inches tall; a 5-foot-9-inch banner is 69 inches tall, leaving 3 inches total height clearance, not 3 inches at each end. Check the actual attachment area before ordering.
This clearance helps avoid excess material at the top and bottom and allows a neat, evenly supported installation. Horizontal and vertical layouts are available within the production dimensions.
Minimum and Large-Format Sizes
The minimum is 12 × 12 inches for either material. For smaller signs, ask about another suitable sign product.
The single-piece sizes specified for this fence-wrap offering are up to 10 × 145 feet for mesh and 10 × 165 feet for solid vinyl. Confirm the selected material, finishing allowances, and seamless requirement on the quote before approving oversized artwork.
Larger wraps require joined sections and will contain seams. Plan the panel layout and seam locations with PDQ Signs rather than assuming an unlimited seamless sheet or that a perimeter-hem method also describes the panel joints.
Finishing Options
Standard Solid-Vinyl Tape-Hemmed Edge
Unless another finish is requested, our standard solid-vinyl banners have a folded hem secured with double-sided banner hemming tape. The adhesive is enclosed inside the fold to form a neat edge. It is not adhesive backing for sticking the banner to a wall.
Heat-Welded Solid-Vinyl Hem
A heat-welded hem folds the edge and joins it with heat rather than hemming tape. Specify this alternative when requesting your quote. Confirm its availability and any price difference for the selected construction; it is not the default standard-banner finish.
Sewn Mesh Hem
For the sewn fence-mesh construction described here, the edge is folded and stitched to form a finished perimeter. The standard hem is included at no additional charge. Mesh constructions can differ, so the quoted finish should identify whether the perimeter is sewn or heat welded.
Additional Edge or Corner Reinforcement
Extra reinforcement adds material along the perimeter to help distribute stress. Reinforced edges are an additional-charge option. Reinforced corners can also be requested for mesh; confirm whether your quote covers corners, full edges, or both.
Reinforcement helps support attachment areas but does not make the wrap tearproof or safe in severe wind. Inspect both the graphic and supporting fence regularly.
Included Grommets
Grommets are ⅜-inch brass-colored metal eyelets for attaching ties, rope, bungees, or clips. They are included at no additional charge. Alternate grommet colors are not offered for this construction.
- Every 12–18 inches.
- Every 2–3 feet.
- Four corners only.
- Top corners only.
For a fence wrap, distributed attachment points are preferable to relying only on corners. Request the 12–18-inch arrangement where appropriate and confirm the actual spacing on the order. A 24-inch interval falls within the 2–3-foot arrangement; it is not a reason to assume every wrap receives exactly the same spacing.
Will Finishing Change My Artwork?
Review the finished dimensions and proof with the chosen hem and reinforcement. Keep essential text and logos clear of folds, seams, and eyelets. Do not assume every finishing choice leaves the same unobstructed image area.
Hanging Accessories
Accessories are additional order options, not automatically supplied with the included grommets. Choose based on the fence, anchor points, weather exposure, and the finished banner.
- Bungees: Set of 8, approximately 14 inches long and extending up to 29 inches. That extension figure is not a recommended installation tension.
- Nylon rope: Set of four 10-foot lengths of ¼-inch rope, intended for outdoor use.
- Hanging clips: Set of six ¼-inch zinc-plated steel carabiner-style clips.
- Zip ties: Black 8-inch ties, in packs from 10 to 350 depending on the selected wrap and order.
The standard accessory selection is one accessory type per fence banner. If you need mixed accessories, ask for a separate arrangement. These accessory sets are offered as banner add-ons rather than standalone purchases.
No rope is pre-attached. To use rope, select grommets and an appropriate rope set, then thread and secure it during installation.
For a suitable rigid surface, ask about six hook-and-loop fastening sets or two suction cups with hooks. These alternatives require surface compatibility and are not substitutes for a properly assessed large outdoor installation. Rope and clips also need suitable anchor points.
No load ratings for these accessories are established by this guide. Check the actual supplied item's specifications; a rope or clip rating is not a wind-load rating for the complete display.
From Measurement to Finished Display
- Measure the fence and note gates, slopes, posts, and installation clearances.
- Choose the finished dimensions, allowing approximately 3 inches total height clearance for a full-height wrap.
- Select mesh or solid vinyl and supply artwork or request design help.
- Approve the artwork, finishing, charges, production timing, and delivery arrangements.
- Install with suitable attachments through the intended grommets, or arrange professional installation for large or complex work.
Can You Help With the Design?
Yes. Supply existing artwork, logos, photographs, and wording, or request help creating a layout. Confirm the design scope and any charges with PDQ Signs 903-533-8050. Use the upload options actually shown for your order; if a file is too large, request another delivery method.
How Soon Will It Arrive?
Confirm production time, artwork approval requirements, shipping method, and the required arrival date before ordering. Production and shipping are separate parts of the schedule. Oversized or joined wraps can require additional planning.

Installation and Outdoor Use
What Can I Attach It To?
Chain-link is a common choice. Aluminum, wood, synthetic, split-rail, and other fences may also work where sound attachment points are available. Suitable walls, buildings, and posts are possible with appropriate anchors and permission. A fence wrap does not make an unsuitable structure safe for added wind loads.
How Do I Install It?
Use suitable ties, rope, bungees, or clips through the intended grommets and distribute attachments around the perimeter. Keep the wrap neat and evenly supported against the fence without overstretching it or concentrating tension at one corner. The correct attachment method depends on the structure and exposure; no single accessory works best everywhere.
Have large, elevated, long-run, or complex projects assessed and installed professionally. Do not assume a fence designed without a covering can safely support a solid wrap.
Will Wind Damage It?
Mesh allows some air through and is generally preferable to solid vinyl in exposed locations, but both catch wind. Secure attachments and reinforcement reduce some risks without eliminating them. Check for loose fixings, damaged eyelets, fraying, or tears, and arrange safe removal ahead of severe weather.
Are Wind Slits Available?
No. Wind slits are not offered. Cutting openings interrupts the graphic and can create tear points. Select a suitable mesh construction instead where airflow is needed.
Will It Fade or Wear?
UV ink offers fade and abrasion resistance, not permanent immunity. Sunlight, wind movement, rubbing, weather, and handling affect both print and material. Avoid sharp edges and contact that repeatedly scuffs the graphic.
How Long Will It Last?
An estimated three or more years is possible with proper placement, care, and storage. Actual life depends on exposure, installation, and handling; it is not a guarantee. Regularly inspect attachments, remove the wrap ahead of severe weather when safe, and store it properly between uses.
Is It Fire Resistant?
Do not treat heat tolerance as flame resistance or use a banner near open flames or extreme heat. If a venue requires certification or a temperature specification, confirm documentation for the actual supplied material before ordering.
Cleaning, Wrinkles, and Storage
How Do I Wash It?
Wipe gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and warm water. Do not machine wash or use strong cleaners that could damage the material or print. Let the wrap air dry completely before storage.
How Should I Store It?
Roll with the printed side facing outward instead of folding. Secure the roll gently with string or bands without making pressure marks. Store dry at room temperature, away from excessive heat and humidity. Do not place objects on top or let sharp hardware rub against the print.
How Do I Ease Wrinkles?
Unroll the wrap on a clean surface and allow gentle warmth to relax light creases. A few hours of mild sunshine can help, but avoid excessive heat, direct concentrated heat, or stretching the banner forcefully. Deep storage creases may not disappear completely.
