If you just stand the panel in the bottom rail there is a danger that it may become distorted due to it's own weight, particularly in the summer when the panel can get very hot & lose their rigidity. This sort of problem is more likely when the panel is Acrylic or Foam PVC, but even if your using ACM, its still better to use Hanger Strips because then the bottom of the panel dosn't get stuck in the build up of dirt in the bottom frame, making them easier to get them in & out in the future.

TIPS   

1. Remember that the panel needs to be loose enough to allow it to expand in the summer & contract in the winter without it becoming trapped & then distorted so we suggest that your panel be 30mm less than the overall frame size, and that you notch the corners as shown so as to prevent the panel nipping in the corners.
2. If your sign is made up of more than one panel you really should 'half lap' the joint and fit anti flex plates and put 'Panel Locks' at the top. This is to keep the panels tight together at all times, which looks better, and also prevents the wind getting behind the panels, which can risk blowouts.

A run of grease along the hanger strip & on the frame where it touches the panel makes it easier to get in & out in the future.
