Chalkboard Pavement Signs
Chalkboard pavement signs are a traditional and effective way to advertise your business to passers-by and increase footfall. Supplied with a chalkboard panel, they let you create eye-catching messages with multicolour chalk pens to promote daily offers, menus and events.
The writing can be wiped clean and updated quickly, making these signs ideal for daily, weekly or seasonal promotions. Wooden A-frames provide a rustic, natural appearance that suits pubs, restaurants, bars, cafés and other hospitality venues.
What Are the Types of Chalkboard Signs?
Most chalkboard signs are designed as A-frames, with two chalkboard panels hinged at the top that fold out into a sturdy triangular display. A-frame chalkboards are available with traditional wooden frames or modern metal-frame designs, depending on the look and level of durability you need.
Another option is a flex-board design, which is fixed along the bottom edge to a weighted solid-rubber base. The lightweight, flexible chalkboard panel moves gently in the breeze to create an eye-catching display.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our outdoor chalkboard signs are designed to be weatherproof - the real wood A-frames are stained and treated with a satin lacquer to make them impervious to rain. The chalkboard surface is manufactured from a high-pressure laminate and does not absorb rain or moisture.
Our wood effect metal frames are constructed from steel that is powder-coated with a wood effect finish. They are fully weatherproof, provide the traditional look and feel of a wooden chalk A-board but effectively require little to no maintenance for longevity.
Our chalkboard markers should wipe off with a damp cloth, but if this isn’t working effectively you can try adding a little vinegar to the water. Start with a 70% water / 30% vinegar mix and work up from there.
The high-pressure chalk laminate is extremely hardwearing and durable so a little elbow-grease will not cause damage to the blackboard surface.
Wooden chalk A-Board signs are incredibly easy and fast to set up. No assembly is required as all A-Frames are delivered pre-assembled.
Our Deluxe Chalkboard Frames and our Scribble Chalkboard Frames fold out into an a-frame position and are then locked in place with leg-stays. They provide stability when the pavement sign is set to the a-position.
Our SURELFEX Chalk Pavement Signs require minimal assembly but are the most simple to set up. Simply place the uPVC base in your desired location and slot the chalk writing board into the base and lock in with the blue plastic clip. Assembly takes less than a minute and is completely tool-free.

Our chalkboard pens are rain-proof approx 1 hour after application but can be easily removed with a damp cloth when you need to change your marketing message.

It is possible to use normal chalk sticks on our blackboard pavement signs, however, standard chalk is not weatherproof like our liquid chalk pens and may run in the rain. Standard chalk markings are also not as visible and bright as those made with our specialist chalkboard pens.
Our liquid chalk pens are waterproof approx one hour after being applied and will last for long periods of time without wearing off.
We do not provide anti-theft or security devices. However, if you are concerned about theft, we do recommend using a security chain or lock on your pavement sign to fix it in place and prevent it from being stolen.
