I'd say 120" is very difficult, 120" being 12 longer than most moulding lengths.

Yeah but..... it's only like 6 20x20 stuck together which is better than 1.5 40x40.

Re: Advice on framing large poster
As far as i understand it the customer will be screwing a length of wood onto the wall to take the weight of the frame on before screwing it to the wall.
I didn't have to deliver it fortunately, i just put it together.

Re: Advice on framing large poster
Wow just reading some of these posts and boy am I under charging I am about to have a go at 6x 76cm x 108cm posters and using 3mm float glass and was going to use 3/4 sq moulding like Wessex B1523 the customer has asked for a 3 inch mount so the total area is 76cm x 108cm I was not intending to use any sub frame just 3 hole strip hangers. Don't want to embarrass my self by saying what I have quoted for this job but nowhere near £350 each. Comments welcome.

Your posters are regular size compared to the one that is the subject of this thread, I recently charged £165 for a similar job to yours.
The one in this thread is 101 cm x 183 cm, or two of your posters side by side!
