Professional Solution for Large-Format Outdoor Advertising
The PR80 stretchable outdoor frame offers high weather resistance and flexible application options for facade advertising and retail.

Modularly expandable and optionally available as an LED lightbox, it is ideal for long-lasting outdoor displays.

PR80 Tensionable Outdoor Frame – with flat-strap system for PVC tarps

The PR80 Tensionable Outdoor Frame is the professional solution for large-format outdoor advertising using PVC tarps. As a sturdy outdoor banner frame, the system offers maximum flexibility, stability, and weather resistance—making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.

The integrated flat-tape system (12–15 x 3 mm) makes installation particularly easy: PVC banners are sewn in place and can be quickly replaced from the front without having to dismantle the frame. This makes the PR80 ideal for frequently changing advertising messages in retail settings, on building facades, or on large surfaces.

A key advantage is that it does not use spring tensioning systems. As a result, the Outdoor System’s tensioning mechanism remains unaffected by weather conditions such as temperature or humidity—ensuring reliable tension in any weather.

The PR80 outdoor frame is also modular and expandable, even when already installed. Existing systems can be flexibly expanded without having to be completely dismantled.

The PR80 is also available as an optional LED light frame for outdoor use—with a choice of edge lighting or uniform surface illumination for maximum visibility day and night.

Fast, clean, and efficient—ideal for changing needs and expanding advertising spaces.

Note on the Structural Integrity and Mounting of the PR80 Outdoor Frame

The structural calculation is based on a 10 x 5 m format using the PR80 profile. The maximum height is 20 m measured to the top edge of the profile.
If the dimensions differ or are larger, a new calculation must be performed; the same applies if the frame height exceeds 5 m. There is no width limit for the calculation, provided that the Z-brackets are installed according to the specified dimensions.
The Z-brackets must be mounted at a maximum spacing of 0.8 m, both horizontally and vertically (see diagram).

Important:
The structural integrity of the Z-brackets depends on the substrate and the appropriate anchoring method.
According to calculations, the individual Z-brackets are subjected to a total load of approximately 1.8 kN.

Primex GmbH provides information on frame structural analysis that relates exclusively to the function, design, and basic structure of the frame itself.
This structural analysis does not cover the frame’s attachment to the wall or facade, nor does it cover any other structural elements located outside the frame and its structure. The basic structure and design of the frame itself must not be altered; otherwise, the structural analysis becomes invalid.

Please note that for outdoor installations, a building permit is always required, as well as corresponding structural analysis depending on the wind load zone, and that you are responsible for obtaining these.
The technical design and the number of anchor points for securing the frame to the wall or facade must be determined based on the masonry and the structural analysis.
The specifications and design for this are not included in the scope of services or liability of Primex GmbH and are hereby expressly excluded.

The printed tarp (optional)

The PVC tarp for the outdoor frame is printed according to your individual color or design specifications, upon request.

Base fabric: 100% polyester
Weight: 500 g/m² | 15 oz/yd²
Maximum tensile force: 2700/2200 N/5 cm | 308/251 lbf/inch
Tear strength: approx. 380/320 N | approx. 88/76 lbf

Cleaning and Care Recommendations for Frames

Use only soft, non-abrasive cloths or rags.
Important: The surfaces to be cleaned should be cleaned as gently as possible and then rinsed thoroughly with water, as residues of salts, acids, or alkalis can cause corrosion.
Rubbing can cause the coating to become dull.
Powder-coated parts should be stored in a dry place only.
Standard pH-neutral household cleaning products are suitable.
Never use products containing solvents, alcohols, thinners (e.g., nitro thinners), acetic acid, or other acids.
Never use abrasive or scratchy cleaning products.

Tool-free design changes—we think ahead!

We’re committed to sustainability not only when it comes to the raw materials for our acoustic art, acoustic partitions, etc., but we also think long-term. That’s why we’ve chosen a framing system that allows you to change the design without having to replace the entire product. You can easily customize the aluminum frames to match the season, design, or color scheme. Thanks to the piping system, our textile prints are interchangeable. You don’t even have to take the frame off the wall to change the design. Changing the design is a breeze—and best of all, no tools are needed.

Here's how changing the motif works:

Remove the fabric. Pull the tab forward, and the fabric will come loose from the frame. Now you can carefully peel the fabric off along the frame.
Insert a new fabric insert. You can watch our short video for instructions.

FAQ

For which applications is the PR80 designed?

The PR80 is designed for large-format outdoor advertising—both temporary and permanent. Typical applications include:
• Facade banners on commercial buildings
• Industrial and warehouse signage
• Large-scale brand displays
• Long-term building signage
Thanks to its structurally engineered design, the system is also suitable for demanding outdoor applications.

What is the difference between the PR80 and the PR32?

The PR80 is designed to be significantly more robust:
• 80 mm profile instead of 32 mm
• Structurally engineered and tested design
• Suitable for large formats (e.g., 10 × 5 m design basis)
• Installation up to 20 m in height (Wind Load Zone 2)
The PR32 is a cost-effective solution for temporary events—the PR80 is a professional large-area system with structural analysis.

How does the clamping system work?

The PR80 uses a flat tape system (12–15 × 3 mm) that is sewn into the tarp.
The graphic is:
• inserted from the front
• secured using the integrated tensioning system
• kept uniformly taut at all times
No spring tensioners are required—ensuring consistent performance regardless of temperature or weather conditions.

Can the image be changed without taking the frame apart?

Yes.
The tension is applied from the front. The pre-assembled corners with a tensioning mechanism can be opened, making it easy to install new tarps. The frame remains fully mounted on the facade throughout the process.

Has the PR80 been statically tested?

Yes—with some limitations.
The frame structure itself is:
• tested
• structurally calculated
• structurally verified
The calculations are based on a 10 × 5 m configuration using PR80 profiles with a maximum top edge height of 20 m (wind load zone 2).
Important:
The structural analysis refers exclusively to the frame structure.
The attachment to the building structure must be planned and verified by the client.

What should be kept in mind when installing it?

The Z-brackets:
• must be mounted at a maximum spacing of 0.8 m (horizontally and vertically)
• are subjected to a load of approximately 1.8 kN per bracket
The selection of anchors, screws, and the fastening system depends on the substrate (concrete, steel, masonry, etc.) and is not part of the frame structural analysis.
Project-specific structural analysis and, if necessary, a building permit are generally required for outdoor installations.

Is the system modular and expandable?

Yes—and that’s a unique feature of the PR80.
The system can also be expanded while installed:
• Remove the tarp
• Open the corners
• Add profiles
• Install a new tarp
This is particularly cost-effective for expanding advertising spaces or site expansions.

What types of print materials are intended?

By default, a PVC tarpaulin weighing approximately 500 g/m² is used:
• 100% polyester backing fabric
• Flame-retardant (B1)
• High tear and tensile strength
• Suitable for long-term outdoor use
Printing is customized according to the customer's specifications.

Is there a version with a light?

Yes.
The PR80 is also available with LED technology:
• Edge lighting for subtle lighting accents
• Flat lighting for a uniform nighttime effect
This makes the system suitable for 24/7 visibility.

When is the PR80 the right choice?

The PR80 is ideal when:
• large banner areas are to be installed
• a structurally stable construction is required
• a spring-supported tensioning system is not desired
• the format is to be expanded over the long term or in a modular fashion
• outdoor advertising is planned even in higher installation areas
For smaller, purely temporary advertising spaces, the PR32 is usually the more cost-effective alternative.
