Swing Signs: Wind-Resistant Pavement Advertising Boards
Motion that captures attention. Displaysense offers the UK's leading range of swing signs and kinetic pavement advertising boards. Pavement swing signs are made to attract passersby; their gentle movement in the breeze naturally draws the eye, making them far more effective than static signage. Whether positioned on a high street, forecourt, or retail entrance, these double-sided displays ensure your promotion is seen from both directions.
Our collection features robust, weather-resistant designs including water-fillable bases for maximum stability and solid rubber bases for portability. Available in popular sizes including A1 (594x841mm) and A2 (420x594mm), our swing pavement signs are the trusted choice for shops, cafes, and businesses needing reliable outdoor visibility.
Kinetic Motion
Attracts the eye. Unlike rigid A-boards, our swing signs feature a hanging panel attached by durable clips. This allows the sign to rock gently in the wind, creating movement that instinctively grabs the attention of passing traffic and pedestrians.
Wind Deflection
High stability. Because the panel swings, it lets wind pass around it rather than fighting against it. Combined with heavy-duty bases, this makes them our most wind-resistant pavement signs, perfect for exposed locations.
Magnetic Poster Pockets
Easy updates. Our top-loading poster pockets use magnetic seals (like the Ecoflex 2). This allows you to change your advertising posters in seconds without tools, keeping your promotions fresh and relevant.
Water or Rubber Base
Choose your base. Water-fillable bases offer maximum weight for windy days but can be emptied for transport. Solid rubber bases (like the Swinger 2000) offer a low centre of gravity and instant deployment.
Standard Sizes
A2, A1 & 20x30. We stock the standard UK poster sizes. A1 swing signs are the industry standard for impact, while A2 offers a compact solution for narrower pavements.
Recyclable Materials
Eco-friendly options. Many of our bases (like the Ecoflex) are made from recycled PVC materials. They are fully recyclable at the end of their life, supporting your business's sustainability goals.
The Displaysense Advantage: Stability in Motion
Displaysense is a UK Manufacturer and supplier. We understand the British weather better than anyone.
Our swing pavement signs are rigorously tested for stability. Unlike cheap imports that tip over in a breeze, our weighted bases and aerodynamic panels are engineered to stay standing, ensuring your brand remains visible and professional, whatever the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a swing sign?
A swing sign consists of a panel suspended from a frame by clips or hooks. This design allows the panel to rock back and forth in the wind, preventing the sign from blowing over while attracting attention with movement.
What is the difference between a Swing Sign and an A-Board?
An A-Board is a rigid triangular frame. A swing sign has a moving panel. Swing signs are generally more stable in high winds because the panel deflects the air rather than resisting it.
What sizes are available?
The most common sizes are A1 (594 x 841mm) and A2 (420 x 594mm). We also stock the popular 20" x 30" size used by many retail chains.
Are they waterproof?
Yes. The poster pockets are designed to be weather-resistant. The top-loading magnetic seal keeps rain out, protecting your paper poster inside. We always recommend using waterproof paper for maximum longevity.
Which base is better: Water or Rubber?
Rubber bases (like the Ecoflex) are solid, compact, and ready to use instantly. Water bases (like the Swinger 4000) are lighter to transport when empty but can be filled with water or sand to become extremely heavy and stable.
How do I assemble a swing sign?
Assembly is usually tool-free. The frame typically slots into the base and locks in place with a hand-tightened bolt or simple push-fit mechanism. It takes less than 5 minutes.
Can I print my own posters?
Yes. Our signs are designed to hold standard paper sizes. You can print your own A1 or A2 posters and insert them into the magnetic pocket yourself.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes. We supply many national coffee chains, gyms, and retail groups. Contact our team for competitive bulk pricing on pavement advertising boards.
Can I leave them out overnight?
While they are durable, we recommend bringing them indoors overnight to prevent theft or vandalism. The rubber base models usually have a convenient carry handle for this purpose.
What if I need a replacement poster pocket?
We stock replacement polycarbonate poster pockets. Over time, outdoor exposure can scratch the clear cover, so replacing just the pocket is a cost-effective way to refresh your sign.
