From the footpath none of it reads. The garage door is the one surface trick-or-treaters actually see from three houses away, and it is usually the only part of the front of the house left completely bare. Cover it and you go from a house with a few decorations to the house the kids point at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalloween garage door cover and banner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm high x 400cm wide (approx 6 x 13 feet \/ 71 x 157 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100D polyester fabric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScary ghost print\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 reinforced grommets plus ribbon ties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeather\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHolds up to sun and rain, suitable for outdoor use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReusable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - folds down small for storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Garage Door Banner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 x 400cm, scary ghost design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 x Grommets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReinforced, already fitted to the banner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRibbon ties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor fixing the banner through the grommets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Banner Beats Taping Things to the Door\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt covers everything at once\u003c\/strong\u003e - one piece of fabric does what twenty cut-outs, cobwebs and stick-on decals would take an afternoon to do, and it looks deliberate instead of cluttered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNothing sticks to your paint\u003c\/strong\u003e - garage doors are usually Colorbond or powder-coated, and tape in the sun is how you end up with adhesive baked onto the finish.

Work along the top first and get the banner hanging straight, then tie off the bottom and side grommets so it does not lift in the wind. If you have nothing to tie to, small adhesive hooks rated for outdoor use will hold it, since the banner weighs almost nothing. One tip that saves a lot of swearing: hang the two top corners first, stand back and check it is level, and only then do the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWill It Fit My Garage Door?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure before you order. The banner is 400cm wide and 180cm high, so on a single garage door you will have fabric to spare either side, which you can either fold behind or let spread across the surrounding wall for a bigger effect. On a double door 400cm covers most but not all of the width. The 180cm height means it hangs as a full panel down the face of the door rather than wrapping the frame, so most people hang it from the top and let the bottom sit clear of the driveway. If your door is a roller that lifts vertically, tie the banner to the frame rather than the door itself so you can still open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan You Leave It Up in the Rain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 100D polyester is made to sit outside through sun and rain, and the colours do not run or bleach out over a few weeks of display. What actually shortens the life of an outdoor banner is wind, not water - a banner tied only at the top corners flaps, and flapping is what tears grommets out. Tie all eight and it will sit flat and quiet. If a real storm is forecast, take it down for the night; it takes two minutes and it is cheaper than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere People Hang It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarage doors first, obviously, but the same banner works on a front fence facing the street, across a brick or rendered wall, along a balcony rail, or over a side gate. Indoors it makes a full wall backdrop for a party - hung behind a food table or across a hallway it does more than any amount of bunting. Schools and community halls use them across corridors and stage backs for Halloween discos, and they roll up small enough to move between rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePair It With\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe banner sets the scene and everything else builds on it. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/2-5m-black-huge-spider-web-net-halloween-party-spider-haunted-home-bar-tricks-au\"\u003e2.5m Giant Stretch Spider Web\u003c\/a\u003e across the corners of the door frame, with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/30-150cm-spider-halloween-decoration-haunted-house-prop-indoor-outdoor-giant\"\u003eGiant Spider Prop\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/4pcs-black-giant-spider-halloween-decoration-haunted-house-prop-indoor-outdoor-a\"\u003e4pk Black Giant Spiders\u003c\/a\u003e sitting in it, is the fastest way to make a flat wall look three dimensional.

Measure your own door before ordering rather than assuming, because garage openings vary a lot between houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it attach?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough eight reinforced grommets using the ribbon ties supplied. You tie it to whatever is above and beside the opening - the door track, gutter brackets, eave hooks or outdoor adhesive hooks. Nothing sticks to the door itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I still open my garage door with it up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly if you tie the banner to the frame or the wall around the opening rather than to the door panel. If you fix it to the door itself, the banner will lift with the door. Most people hang it from the frame for exactly this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is weather resistant polyester made for outdoor display, so rain and sun are fine. It is not a tarpaulin - do not expect it to keep water off anything. In strong wind, take it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the colours fade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe print is designed to hold its colour through a display season outdoors. Left up all year in full Australian sun anything will fade eventually, which is another reason to take it down and store it after Halloween.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it indoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and it is one of the fastest ways to decorate a big blank wall for a party. Hung indoors it works as a photo backdrop as well as a decoration, and there is no wind to worry about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse it next Halloween?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Fold it dry, keep it out of direct sun in storage, and it will come out the same next October. That is the main advantage over paper, cardboard and stick-on decorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Australian Shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship from Australian stock to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses in every state.

Please allow a small variation in measurements, as sizes are taken by hand. This is a decoration, not a safety barrier - keep ties clear of driveways and door tracks, and take the banner down before operating an automatic garage door.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lets Party","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52303031763245,"sku":"v1|177414396084|0","price":81.38,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/8573\/8812\/files\/s-l1600_5bdd0ab6-7a80-4fbf-a207-bd086e0fadc5.jpg?v=1787112823","url":"https:\/\/letsparty.com.au\/products\/halloween-garage-door-cover-decorations-large-scary-ghost-party-gate-backdrop-au","provider":"Lets Party","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
