Swing Signs – Pavement Advertising Boards
Swing signs, also known as pavement advertising boards, are a proven way to capture attention on busy high streets, forecourts, and entrances. Their gentle swinging motion draws the eye, while double-sided panels ensure your message is seen from both directions.
Available in A1 and A2 sizes, our swing pavement signs are made from durable, weatherproof materials. They’re widely used by cafés, bars, retail stores, event organisers, and service providers who need reliable, portable signage. For alternatives, explore our A-board signs, waterbase signs, or browse the complete pavement sign collection.
Why Swing Signs Stand Out
- Dynamic motion draws more attention than static boards.
- Double-sided panels maximise exposure to passing traffic.
- Weatherproof materials designed for UK outdoor use.
- Quick poster updates with easy-access frames.
- Choose A1 for maximum visibility or A2 for smaller spaces.
- Perfect for cafés, boutiques, salons, gyms, and events.
- Portable yet stable with water or rubber bases.
- Professional finish that enhances brand presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I use a swing advertising sign?
Swing pavement signs are versatile and used by cafés, restaurants, retail shops, gyms, petrol stations, and salons. They perform well on surfaces such as concrete, tarmac, gravel, or grass.
What is a flex pavement sign?
A flex pavement sign uses a strong aluminium panel fixed into a solid rubber base. The panel bends with the wind, offering excellent outdoor stability.
Can I leave my swing sign out overnight?
We recommend bringing swing signs indoors overnight or when your premises are closed to prevent theft, damage, or extreme weather exposure.
Are swing signs delivered pre-assembled?
No – some quick assembly is required. The base and frame slot together easily. Waterbase models must be filled for stability; rubber-base models are ready to use.
What is the benefit of a swing sign over an A-board?
Swing signs cope better in windy conditions. The swinging or flexing panels move with the wind rather than resisting it, offering more stability than A-boards.
How do I change the artwork on a swing or flex sign?
Poster pocket swing signs allow quick poster changes. Vinyl-printed panels or flex signs require new panels for updated artwork, ideal for long-term campaigns.
What is the difference between a swing sign and a flex pavement board?
A swing sign has a panel suspended between uprights, swinging gently on hinges. A flex sign uses a single aluminium sheet that bends with the wind. Both are outdoor-ready but behave differently in strong weather.
How is artwork applied to swing advertising boards?
Options include interchangeable poster pockets or vinyl-printed aluminium panels. Poster pockets are user-friendly, while vinyl graphics give a permanent, edge-to-edge finish.
