I'm assuming since he said this is going on the backside of bleachers there will not be a solid wall behind the sign, it'll be open. If that's the case, I don't think I'd trust a system like Banner Grip. A mesh banner with poclets, poles and rachets, yes, but not a regular flex face style banner frame. At least nor for a 2000 square foot banner...

Make a steel frame to mount it to and it's done. We did a free standing one of these with a steel frame.

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to do this as a banner?

Mosh is right, the customer wants this sign to last as long as possible so a banner or even digitally printed panels won't be an option, unless there is a print that will last as long as a 3M Hign Performance vinyl. Paint is an option, But I plan on installing the panels then the graphics towards the end of March and who knows what the weather will be like.

Why do people on this site continually try to turn good jobs into cheap jobs? It happens every time somebody posts anything about a potential job that's gonna run more than $500.
We'd all be a lot better served trying to figure out how to turn cheap jobs into good jobs.

So it wasn't quite 10' x 200', but it still was the largest single sign job that I have ever quoted and produced and it turned out beautiful. The sign ended up being 7't x 150' long, framed out with four horizontal rows of 1" aluminum tubing, qty of 36 4' x 7' black/orange Alumalite panels butted together with aluminum "H" channel.
The letters and graphics are all Oracal's 951 series vinyl and were applied in shop, three panels at a time. The orange alumalite panels were covered in the 951 with the help of Dale's "Big Squeegee"...Love that thing! I was going to have them painted in an automotive finish but the painters let me down at the last minute. All in all it took about 3.5 weeks from start to install!
It is the backside of the bleachers to the schools main field.
