Brackets

Picture
Southern Cross have manufactured brackets for all conceivable installation variables.  
We're often asked to provide suggestions for the installation 100 times more than we are asked to make the brackets.  That’s Ok with our team.  


We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.  For example a timber broom handle will not correctly support a fabric banner outdoors in all types of weather, but it will be perfectly fine for a textile banner to hang indoors. 

Some vital information we need to know to help your inquiry;

* Is the bracket to be placed Indoors or Outdoors? This is absolutely one of the most important 
  questions to determine the factors that will decide the strength of your required bracket. 
* What surface will it be attached to, timber, glass, steel, brick, concrete, aluminium? 
* What angle will it need to be installed? Horizontal, vertical, 45 degrees? 
* What is the bracket going to have attached to it?
* What is the weight of the article that will be attached?
* How long will the bracket need to do the job? This will relate to the method of attachment and the 
  specification of the size of the bracket.
* Is the bracket near the Sea? If so, it will need to be stainless steel. If not steel may be fine, but 
   galvanised, painted or powder coated.
* What is the bracket to look like? Round or square tube, in a Hoop,triangular base, square, etc?
* How many brackets do you require?
* When ?
* Do you require an engineering certificate with these brackets?

Due to the large variations with brackets, each inquiry is totally unique.  Sure there are flagpole and banner brackets that all look the same.  There are some like the small plastic moulded ones that have Lotto or Telstra logo’s hanging outside the local store or Newsagent.  These also had years of testing before they met the huge demands of the OH & S for Public Safety.

If it’s a bracket inside a shopping centre, elevated 30 metres above innocent shoppers, which houses a 100 kilo textile or PVC image, we become overly concerned about.  When all the advice is offered, the brackets should be made safely and meet all the correct Australian Standards.  This means the general public continues shopping, oblivious to the sign, until they ready its’ message at some other point in time. 

We do not stock brackets, as they are a dynamic product changing constantly to suit the engineer’s specification and the client’s creativity in placement. 

Please feel free to speak to us at any time for assistance or information to create your perfect brackets.
