What is a pavement sign and why choose one?
A pavement sign is a free-standing, weighted or folding advertising board that sits on the pavement or forecourt outside your business to promote it to passing trade. If your business wants to drive more people through the door, pavement signs are an ideal solution; letting people know why they should be interested in your business using pavement signage and giving them an incentive to step inside can give your business the boost it needs! Find out more about our selection of bespoke pavement sign boards, and how we can help you below to stand out on the street.
We offer a range of pavement signs which are perfect as restaurant signs, and also work as pub signs, cafe signs and signs for garages including forecourt signs. Our swinging pavement boards are a versatile and popular solution all around the UK for promoting your business to people passing by, so take a look at our selection today! We manufacture every pavement board sign in our UK workshop, so you can be sure you're only getting the highest quality final product.
What types of pavement sign can I choose from?
We make the full range of pavement signs so you can match the board to your location and how often the message changes. Weighted-based boards are a stable, popular choice that stays put in windy and exposed spots, while wooden pavement signs and hanging signs offer a premium, characterful look for cafes, pubs and independents. Printed pavement boards are hard-wearing options for permanent branding, and snap frame, flex and forecourt signs are classic folding boards for shopfronts, garages and forecourts.
Not sure which one is right for you? As a quick guide: for maximum stability in an exposed or windy spot, choose a sign with a weighted base; if your message changes often, choose a snap-frame poster board or a chalkboard; for a premium, characterful look, choose a wooden pavement sign or chalk a-board; and for a large forecourt or car park, go for a bigger forecourt board so it reads from a distance.
What size pavement sign board do I need?
Our personalised pavement signs for business are available in a variety of sizes, with many sized to standard poster formats, so you can match the board to your frontage and the space on the footpath. If you have an unusual space or want maximum impact, we also make pavement signs to custom sizes. As a rule, choose the largest board your footpath can safely take while still leaving a clear route for pedestrians.
Bring Customers Inside From the Street
The first benefit that'll be brought about by using pavement signs outside your business is that they'll help to bring more people in from the street. People will become more aware of the presence of your business and many of those people will want to step inside to find out more.
Advertise Special Offers and Promotions
You can also advertise any special offers and promotions that are currently available from your business. If your pavement boards feature particularly enticing designs, people will want to head inside and make the most of them.

With our help, you'll have no trouble creating eye-catching and durable pavement signs that'll last for as long as your business needs them! We pride ourselves on the durability of our pavement signage, and we guarantee we'll help you find the design that works best.
Do I need permission to put a sign on a public pavement?
Rules vary from council to council, so it is worth a quick check with your local authority before you buy. In general, a pavement sign should not block the footpath or create a hazard, and most councils ask you to leave a clear, unobstructed route for pedestrians and wheelchair users. Some areas operate a licence or permit scheme for A-boards and pavement displays. A few practical points help you stay on the right side of the rules: keep the board close to your own frontage, choose a stable weighted or water-based base so it cannot be knocked into the walkway, and bring the sign in overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pavement signs weatherproof?
Yes, pavement signs can be weatherproof, but it's worth checking the description of the specific pavement board you buy. Our outdoor pavement signs are made to withstand daily use in UK weather - weighted bases keep the board stable in wind, and printed graphics are finished to resist fading, rain and knocks. Some of our outdoor wooden pavement sign products have an optional weather resistant coating, or you can choose to treat yourself after delivery.
What size pavement sign is best for a high street?
A1 (594 x 841mm) is the most popular and generally the best size for a high-street pavement, as it is easy to read from across the street without taking up too much footpath. Use A2 for narrow pavements and tight doorways, and step up to A0 for forecourts and open spaces where the sign needs to be seen from further away.
Do I need council permission for a pavement sign?
Whether you need permission to put your custom pavement sign out depends on your local council. Many operate a licence or permit scheme for pavement signs, and most require you to leave a clear walkway for pedestrians and wheelchair users. Check with your local authority before you buy, keep the board close to your frontage, and consider choosing a stable weighted base so it cannot be knocked into the path.
Can I get a custom printed pavement sign with my own branding?
Yes. Every business pavement sign we make is custom printed to order with your own logo, text and artwork, and each order includes a free artwork check before we manufacture. We manufacture our pavement signs in our own UK workshop and deliver across the UK, so you can order custom pavement boards online and have them made to order.
