Yes, mesh banners are specifically engineered and considered better than solid vinyl for high-wind areas. While both materials are durable, they serve different environmental needs:
- Mesh Banners: These are designed with a wind-permeable, perforated construction that allows air to pass through the material. This reduces the “sail effect,” which minimizes stress on mounting points and prevents dangerous billowing or tearing during gusty prairie conditions. They are the reliable choice for exposed locations like fences, scaffolding, and building facades.
- Solid Vinyl Banners: While high-quality and UV-laminated to withstand variable weather, solid vinyl acts as a sail in the wind. For long-term outdoor use in Regina, 13 oz or heavier vinyl is recommended, but it remains more susceptible to wind stress than mesh.
For proper installation in windy conditions, it is also recommended to use grommets every two to three feet with bungee cords to maintain tension and absorb wind shock.
