Hanging a hired neon sign for an event?
Neon signs are a great way to add a vibrant and eye-catching element to any event. Whether you're hosting a party, a wedding, or a corporate event, a neon sign can instantly elevate the atmosphere and create a memorable experience for your guests. But how do you hang them without damaging walls or them falling over?
We help solve this issue by providing a wide range of options with our neon signs when you hire them.

What to hang neon sign on?
Backdrop (without mesh)
- Hanging kit (nylon) and tie it directly onto the frame
- Leather straps / hooks and hanging kit (for a more customised height and look)
Backdrop (with mesh)
- Cable ties (clear) for a white backdrop and black for a black backdrop.
- Hooks from the leather straps intertwined in the mesh
Flower wall / decorative background
- Hanging kit (dependent on material used)
- Leather straps / hook on the top of the wall and use hanging kit (nylon) to hold the neon
Brick wall
- Wall mount kit
- Screw straight into mortar of brick wall
Plaster wall
- Hanging kit and use the adhesive wall hook as the anchor
- Adhesive strips (place a number of strips on the acrylic board to ensure it holds)
Tree trunk / miscellaneous items
- Use the hanging kit, can hook it around tree limb
- Use backdrop and drill into the bark (please make sure the tree is big enough and older enough to handle it).
Don't have an appropriate spot?
Other options are:
Place it on a bench or chair with a back
Sitting the neon up on a bench seat with a back. This way the neon can rest in an upright position and guests can sit next to it for good photo opportunities.
Against a wall
Prop it up against a wall, this will still provide a cool look, particularly if there is a hard floor like polished concrete or tile the light can bounce off. The photo opportunities might be a little more limited though.
Against a party related prop / item
Against the DJ table (if they're ok with it) or up against the bar or food cart etc.
Against a shelf or frame
Doesn't have to be an obvious spot, you can make it work by using a hanging kit to attached it to a book frame or shelf.
Against a natural element
A cool look can be up against a blue stone wall or large rock. Whatever works really, depending on the size of the neon, but the weight is normally anywhere from 3kg-6kg.
Alternative
Consider a custom table top neon (xo example) - this can go on any flat surface such as a table, bar top or shelf.
