Do you have any other helpful tips for assembling your retractable banners?

Here are a few other tips to know before you get started: - Don’t try to pull the banner above the height of the pole. Doing so may damage the retracting mechanism. - Be careful with the edges and make sure they’re not caught up in the cassette, which could fray or scratch your design. - When connecting the pole pieces for the standard cassette, find the round part inside the hole and stick the pole into it to make sure the banner stands straight.

What are the dimensions for each of your banner stand cassette types? And the weight?
