Gym Banner Sizes and Hanging Options: A Buyer's Guide

A great gym banner does more than fill wall space. It sets the tone the moment someone walks into your building. Whether you're displaying your school name, honoring a championship, listing a schedule, or promoting a tournament, choosing the right size and hanging method makes all the difference.

Let's talk size first. We offer gym banners in stock sizes from 5'x7' all the way up to a massive 12'x80', including popular in-between options like 6'x10', 8'x12', 10'x12', 10'x18', 12'x20', and 12'x40'. And if none of those fit your wall, we'll gladly make a custom size, it's better to fill the space properly than to force your design into a standard rectangle. A good approach is to measure your available wall, step back, and picture the banner being readable from the far end of the court.

Now for hanging. Our gym banners are made of heavy, coated satin, which gives you a fine print finish with substantial backing, and you've got a couple of proven options. Most customers choose grommets around the entire perimeter, which lets you tie or hook the banner tight to a wall or railing. The other popular method is grommets across the top with a pole sleeve along the bottom. You slide a dowel into the sleeve to add weight, so the banner hangs flat and straight instead of curling. Both install easily and, just as importantly, come down easily when it's time to store or swap them.

One bonus worth knowing: we can print photos on our banners, not just text and logos, as long as the image resolution is high enough. That opens the door to team photos, senior tributes, and championship-year group shots displayed at full scale.
