Water Base Pavement Signs

Yes, all of our water base signs are designed to be weatherproof in moderate weather conditions. They are designed and manufactured specifically for outdoor use using hardwearing and durable materials that are not easily affected by rainwater. 

Each sign-board includes protective poster covers that are waterproof and do provide protection from rain and UV rays. 

Even though water base signs are for outdoor use, we do recommend bringing all advertising signboards inside during storms or gale-force winds to prevent damage to the pavement signs, your property or risk harm to the public during inclement weather. 

Water base pavement signs are an ideal choice for outdoor tactical advertising displays as they are durable and weatherproof. With their hollow bases designed to be weighed down using water or sand, water based display boards are sturdy and can withstand higher winds than most other pavement signs. They can be used for shop sign advertising, curbside and sidewalk promotions as well as in car parks, forecourts, petrol station forecourts and front of business. 

Our water based advertising boards are available to purchase with or without printed posters. Our custom laminated posters are available in A0, A1, A2 A3 and A4 sizes. We print on durable 180-micron-thick media. Each poster is laminated on the printed side to ensure vibrancy and durability.

Changing the posters on your water-based boards is a simple and easy process to complete. Most of our designs feature a simple ‘snap’ frame poster board that allows you to change your promotions in less than a minute.

1) Simply snap all four sides of the 'snap frame' open

2) Remove the protective poster sheet 

3) Insert promotional posters and re-cover with the protective cover

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

The majority of our water base pavement signs require minimal self-assembly. Each advertising board is supplied with a set of assembly instructions and the tools (if required) to complete the installation.

Assembly can be completed by one person. Once assembled it is just a matter of positioning the water-fillable sign in the desired location and filling the base with water or sand. The hollow base has a 'pop open' cap that allows easy access for filling. Once the base is filled to capacity, simply close the cap. Wheels are attached to the bottom of the base for easy movement; even when filled with water. 

Insert your promotional posters in less than a minute! Unclip the 'snap open' frame around each edge of the poster display sign. Remove the protective cover, insert the poster and protective screen. Lastly, you close the open snap frame to secure your advertising poster inside. 

Yes, sand works as well as water to weigh down our water base signs and keep them solid and stable in most weather conditions. Please note, sand may be harder to remove if the need arises in the future. 

All our Pavement signs are supplied with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. We offer a 100% customer satisfaction warranty - if you are not happy, we will work to fix the issue for you.

All our pavement signs are designed to be weatherproof in moderate weather conditions, however, we recommend bringing all pavement signs inside or under shelter when the weather turns, and the wind becomes strong.

The most sturdy and wind-resistant pavement signs in our collection are the sand and water-filled signs as well as the flexible signs with a solid rubber base. However, if gale-force winds are forecasted, we recommend storing every poster display sign inside. 

Our water base signs have built-in wheels in the base so you can move them around easily even when they are weighed down with sand or water. Yes, they are much heavier once the hollow bases are filled to capacity, however, this is required to maintain a stable display when used outdoors. The wheeled base and handle will allow you to tip and transport the base without causing injury or damage to the base. 

Most of our water base pavement signs are available with dispatch within 3-5 days. For faster service, choose our in-stock Tempest Water Base Sign which is available with 48h dispatch (with poster prints) and just 24h (without posters).
