A Frame Board Signs

Our A-frame pavement boards are available in a range of different sizes. The size required depends on your promotional and advertising needs, the space you have to place the sidewalk board and the size of posters you wish to display. 

Our A-Boards are available in the following sizes: A1, A0, A2, 20’’ x 30’’, 40’’ x 30’’. A1 pavement signs are one of our most popular sizes as it provides ample advertising space. 

If you are not sure what size you need, please get in touch with our team on 01733 511030 to discuss your options.

Our A-frame signs are made from solid wood or metal frames which are waterproof and suitable for most weather conditions. Poster frames and pockets are designed to be weatherproof and our laminated posters are more durable than traditional paper, however, these aspects are not 100% waterproof and therefore we recommend bringing A-frame signs indoors during extremely wet or windy weather. We also advise storing all sign boards inside or under cover over night to avoid damage or theft. 

Each pavement sign is supplied with a protective cover that protects the posters from rain and UV rays. The anti-glare poster covers sit within the clip frame that keeps the poster, and cover securely in place. 

These types of advertising display boards are designed to attract attention, so designing artwork that shows a clear message is essential. You might want to think about the following possibilities:

• Promotions or sales messages
• New menus/treatment lists
• Welcome Back/We Are Open messages
• Opening hours details
• Social distancing details
• Slogans or jokes 
• Creative artwork (particularly on chalkboards)

Remember, clarity, colour and an eye-catching look offer the best chance to entice new customers. Think clear fonts and short sentences combined with bright and simple imagery for an unbeatable advertising message.

Our collection of a-frame sandwich boards ranges in cost from £29 for our Advertising A-Board Sign Sandwich Board to £175 for our DELUXE Chalkboard A-Frame Sign.

At present, there is no UK-wide policy for pavement sign advertising. Guidelines differ between councils and the rules change regularly. Usually, if you are placing an a-frame or other pavement signage on your own land (eg. enclosed area in front of a shop, a restaurant terrace or garage forecourt) you won’t come across any issues.

If you plan to place your pavement sign alongside a public pathway or highway, you will need to gain permission. We recommend in all cases to check with your local authority about their rules for pavement signs.

Remember, public liability indemnity insurance is essential to cover you in case someone sustains an injury as a result of your pavement sign.

Our a-frame pavement signs are designed to be weather-resistant and can withstand rain and moderate winds without concern.

However, we recommend bringing them inside during storms or high winds, and overnight to avoid damage or theft. Our A-frame board signs are designed to fold down flat to make them easy to store away during these times.

Our a-frame pavement signs are strong and stable in the face of moderate weather conditions, however, we would recommend that you bring them inside if high winds or storms are predicted to prevent damage to the sign or surroundings.

The A-Frame design provides stability and the metal construction provides the durability needed to withstand typical British weather. 

You can attach a security chain or lock to your pavement sign to fix it in place and prevent it from being stolen. We would also recommend storing all portable advertising signs inside when your business is closed or left unattended. This is the most effective way to prevent theft from occurring. 

A-Frame signs do not typically have the ability to be screwed down to the floor. They are designed to be portable, moveable and free-standing signs that can be used in almost any advertising space. 

If you are concerned about the safety of your sign when being used outdoors, we would recommend attaching a simple security chain and lock. You can lasso the chain around the board sign and lock it to a permanent fixture such as a wall anchor or metal ring. This will ensure the security of your pavement sign. 

It is incredibly quick and easy to change the posters in our A-frame boards. Most feature a snap frame that can be clicked open, so you can replace the poster and click it shut again in under a minute. All sides of the poster frame need to be open for access to the poster display area.

1) Simply snap all four sides of the clipable sandwich board open

2) Remove the protective poster cover

3) Insert promotional posters and recover with the protective poster

4) Close all four sides of the snap frame to secure the poster in place

Yes, you can opt to include printed posters with each A-Frame advertising board at the time of purchase. Alternatively, you can buy replacement posters at a later date when your promotion message changes.

We print Laminated Posters in a wide range of different sizes. You can supply your own artwork and our in-house design team will ensure it is print-ready before sending it to print. Alternatively, we offer an in-house graphic design service where we can help design your posters for you.

A-frame pavement signs are naturally double sided, offering two advertising spaces via poster pockets, chalkboard panels or printed vinyl graphics. They are shaped with a triangular frame hinged at the top, which folds out into an ‘a’ shape for a sturdy, stable design.

Our wooden a-frame boards are typically finished with 2-coats of low VOC, stained and satin lacquered for excellent weather protection. This makes them weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. However, as with the majority of pavement signs, our wooden a-boards are not suitable to withstand very inclement weather or high winds, so we recommend that you bring them indoors during storms and overnight.
