Outdoor Displays

Advertising boards, also known as pavement signs or advertising signs are used to promote your products, offers and services to the local community and passers-by. Typically placed out the front of your business premises on the pavements to drive traffic in and advise customers that you are open for business.

They are available in many styles including water base signs and forecourt signs, swing signs, A-Frame signs and chalkboard pavement signs.

They can be used in many locations such as sidewalks, on paths, in car parks, on petrol station forecourts, indoor shopping centers and retail parks.

They are a cost-effective form of outdoor advertising and can be quickly and easily updated with new offers and marketing campaigns. They are designed and built for outdoor use and come with waterproof poster covers to keep your posters protected when outside.

Advertising boards have been a traditional and popular outdoor marketing solution for a long time.

Yes, all our outdoor displays have been designed specifically for outdoor use and are water-resistant. Each display is different to the next and whilst all outdoor displays are manufactured with durable materials, we would recommend bringing your display stand indoors or under cover if inclement weather is forecasted.

Outdoor banners are printed on water-resistant outdoor PVC vinyl media and can be used in both rain and wind up to 18-24mph (29-38kph). The artwork is resistant to water and will not run or fade if it gets wet.

The branded gazebos are made from a durable aluminium frame that is water and rust-resistant. The frame is covered with a 195gsm polyester tent fabric which is water-resistant and has a B1 fire retardant certification. Whilst these event tents provide shelter and will keep you dry if rain arrives during your event, we recommend collapsing the tent if adverse weather and gale-force winds are expected. The printed gazebo canopy can become saturated with water if left out for long periods of time in the rain.

Pavement signs and advertising boards are designed to be used outside. They are manufactured with hardwearing & weather-resistant materials and include poster covers to protect promotional posters from the elements.

Outdoor flags utilise a fiber-glass pole and plastic or metal bases that are resistant to water and damp. The promotional flag is made from a printed flag knit media that can get wet without causing damage to the artwork. Flags can be left outdoors for extended periods of time, even if raining. They can withstand approx. 18mph wind speeds without worry of damage. The flag knit fabric will dry easily and quickly if it does get wet.

Café barriers are suitable for use outdoors and indoors. They are supplied with concrete weighted posts and a choice of PVC or display polyester graphics. Each graphic option can get wet without causing damage to artwork. Whilst these café banners are water-resistant, we would recommend bringing them inside at night-time or placing them undercover. We recommend drying the polished chrome posts to ensure quality is maintained.

Our retractable barriers and rope and pole systems can be used to direct pedestrians indoors and outdoors. Like café barriers, they are water-resistant and can be used outdoors, however, we recommend bringing these queue barriers indoors or placing them undercover if rain is expected for long periods of time. The polished chrome finish can be damaged if it is saturated with water for extended periods of time.

Yes, our outdoor PVC banner can be purchased in custom sizes with eyelets for attaching to fences or railings. Our custom banner printing allows you to choose whatever size you like by entering the dimensions of your desired banner on the product page. You can also add the number of eyelets you want cutting into your advertising banner. 

Yes, the complete range of outdoor displays that we offer all can be easily assembled by one-two people depending on the display purchased.

Designed to be lightweight, portable and easy to install. The majority of our displays are supplied with a carry bag or case to aid transportation. They all fold/pack down into a manageable package that can be easily stored when not in use.

Assembly instructions are supplied with each advertising display stand and come with any tools that are needed to complete the installation. Our expert team are always on hand to help if you do run into any difficulties.

Check the 'video tab' on each product page as we do provide assembly videos where possible to help explain the assembly process.

Eyelet banners are large format, custom banners usually printed onto banner PVC or banner vinyl. They feature punched holes in the corners of the banner or around the edges – these are known as eyelets. The eyelets have a metal grommet, also known as a metal washer inside each hole that enables you to hang the banner in a variety of locations such as on walls, railings, fences, banisters and more.

We recommend having one eyelet every 500mm around large banners or eyelets in the corners for smaller banners.

You can hang eyelet banners using hooks, bungees, cable ties or screws depending on the location you are hanging them. For outdoor locations on fences or railings, cable ties are the most secure hanging option.

Our printed gazebos are supplied with a custom printed 195gsm polyester tent fabric. Whilst this is water-resistant and does provide shelter from the rain, they are suitable for temporary use only and should not be left outside in the rain for an extended period of time.

They should not be used as permanent structures as they are designed to be used at events, trade shows and exhibitions for a few days at a time. If left outside in rain for a long period of time, the fabric can become saturated with rainwater which can result in the fabric leaking. If left out in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, the artwork can become faded and sun-bleached.

We recommend only using our branded gazebos as a temporary shelter.

Our outdoor flags are designed for outdoor use and can withstand wind speeds up to 18mp/h (29km/h) Beaufort scale 4 when anchored correctly.

They are supplied with a black, all-fiber flagpole that is lightweight, yet incredibly strong and durable.

We offer a range of different flag bases that enable you to anchor your outdoor flag on both hard ground and soft ground.  Read our flag base guide to help choose the right base for your location.

If gale-force or hurricane winds are forecast, we would recommend dismantling your promotional flag and reassembling it when it is safe to do so.
