A-Boards & A-Frames

What Are A Boards?

A boards, also known as sandwich boards, sidewalk sign, or pavement signs, are double-sided display signs designed like the letter “A”. They are specifically designed for outdoor use to stand securely on pavements, forecourts, and other outdoor areas, providing a prominent board sign platform for your message, brand, or promotions.

Pavement signs are popular with retailers, cafe owners, hospitality industry professionals, pub landlords, salon owners, estate agents, and anyone who needs flexible street-level pavement signage. Their main features include quick setup, easy graphic changes, and weather-resistant construction for year-round use.

Key features:

• Double-sided sign display for maximum visibility
• Weatherproof and waterproof frames and panels
• Lightweight yet stable a-frame for easy movement
• Quick-change poster or chalk options
• Folds flat for transport and storage
• Available in a range of styles and sizes, including A1 and A2 finishes
