The guide post straps are not universal: diameter, fixing system and return mechanism vary between manufacturers. To find the exact reference, send us a photo of your post (overview and zoom on the strap mechanism) with mention of the brand if you know it. Our customer service identifies the compatible reference within 24 hours or offers a suitable alternative. For uncommon brands, a complete change of the post is sometimes more economical than ordering specific parts.

The weight of the base depends on the height of the banner and its exposure to the wind. For a banner of 2 to 3 meters indoors, a base of 8 to 12 kg is sufficient. For an outdoor banner of 3 to 5 meters, count on 15 to 25 kg to withstand gusts of up to 40 km/h. For very exposed locations (seaside car park, windy place), a base of 30 kg or more is recommended. Water or sand bases are preferable to solid metal bases: lighter for transport, more stable once filled.

For a tubular stand background of 3 meters, count on 2 to 3 regularly spaced LED spotlights (one central and two lateral) for homogeneous highlighting. For a 5 meter wall, plan 3 to 4 spots. For an entrance arch, add 1 additional spotlight directed towards the central visual. Choose spots with a wide lighting angle (60° minimum) to avoid shadow areas at the edges. The recommended power is 10 to 15W per LED spot for indoor stand use.

Plexiglas is particularly sensitive to solvents, alcohol and abrasive products which will crack or tarnish it permanently. Use only a slightly damp microfiber cloth with a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid, or a special plexiglass cleaner available in our accessories range. Absolutely avoid paper towels, which scratch, and standard window products which often contain aggressive ammonia for transparent plastics.

For traveling salespeople and event teams, suitable transport bags are essential: they protect your equipment from shocks during transport and considerably facilitate carrying and handling. Stand-Direct offers specific roller bags for tubular stands, covers for advertising flags, handling boxes for guide posts. This investment (€40 to €150 depending on the format) is often neglected but doubles the practical lifespan of your equipment when used on the go.

For a commercial fleet of clic-clac frames, provide 1 spare plate for 5 to 10 frames in use. These transparent PVC protective plates may scratch or tarnish over time and handling. Having a minimum stock allows you to quickly replace a damaged plate without interrupting your visual communication. For exterior windows that are particularly heavily used (UV, bad weather), this ratio can rise to 1 plate for 3 frames.

The compatibility depends on the equipment. For market standards (A4-A0 poster holders, clic-clac frames, folding pole flags, standard circular bases), our accessories are generally compatible with the main European brands. For equipment with a proprietary mechanism (certain high-end guide posts, custom stand structures), compatibility is more limited. If in doubt, provide a photo of your equipment to our customer service: we will confirm the compatibility of a planned accessory within 24 hours.

The standard accessories in stock are shipped within 24 to 48 hours and delivered in 2 to 4 working days in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany. For personalized accessories (logo marking, specific colors) or rare compatibilities to source, allow an additional period of 5 to 15 working days depending on the complexity. For large volume orders (multi-site deployment, annual stock of a chain), our salespeople establish a dedicated logistics schedule and apply decreasing rates.

Absolutely. All our accessory references are sold individually or in batches, with no obligation to simultaneously purchase the main equipment. This flexibility is valuable for renewing consumables (straps, plates, cleaning products) and for completing an existing fleet acquired from another supplier or several years ago. For old equipment whose brand or reference cannot be found, provide us with a photo and we will direct you to the most suitable solution.
