Lawn signs – features and sizes

Open House lawn sign

Lawn signs are set on lawns and are often used by realtors. They are also popular with political candidates who are running for election. Representatives of other activities also often choose such signs for many reasons, such as being affordable and easy to install and creating an opportunity to attract the attention of a wider target audience.

These products are often made of corrugated plastic, also called coroplast. This material is lightweight, and its strength is sufficient so that it does not easily change its characteristics should something happen to it. Its special structure ensures this; it looks like cardboard but is made of plastic. Due to its high resistance to external influences, it can be used in outdoor conditions. It does not deteriorate when exposed to moisture, snow. If the sign from coroplast is firmly fixed, then the wind is not able to harm it.

As a rule, signs are mounted on strong wire stakes. The stakes are fixed to the product through the structure. The cellularity of coroplast allows this to be easily done, but at the same time, it does not damage the integrity of the sign itself. The fixation of the wire is carried out directly into the lawn soil. Due to the small area of ​​the installation elements, it is possible to install a sign quickly and not damage the lawn. Stakes not only provide easy installation, but they allow for easy removal as well.

In addition to coroplast, ordinary hard plastic, as well as aluminum, can be used to make such products. But both materials affect pricing lawn signs are not for the best for the customer. Aluminum or plastic signs are more expensive than  the corrugated plastic. In addition, they often become objects of theft, especially aluminum products. As you know, aluminum is an expensive metal. And thieves always have a desire to steal aluminum structures.

About sizes

Lawn signs may vary in size. Each customer chooses the optimal size for himself. But some doubt the choice. They cannot decide which size sign to order. The standard size is 24” by 18”. This option is suitable for a variety of purposes- its surface area is sufficient to accommodate all the necessary information and the posted information is visible to everyone who passes by. Products of this size can be installed on stakes, as well as with metal frames.

The above size is not the only one possible when ordering such structures. Also available are:

  • 24” by 6” or 18” by 12”
  • 4” to 4” or 2” to 2”
  • And larger ones – 36” by 18”

Larger signs are usually chosen for certain conditions. For example, if the sign will be located at some distance from sidewalks and roads, it is better to choose a larger product.

If you want to order a significantly larger size for your sign, it is better to think about ordering a billboard or a large banner. Keep in mind that a sign 36” by 18” is already a significant size. It all depends on the wishes of the customer and his understanding of how the advertising design should look. In addition, when installing large signs, you will need to strengthen the elements that hold them. Standard diameter wire may not support the weight of the structure.

If the structures have metal frames, then the wire for installation will not work. A metal frame will increase the weight of the entire structure. As a rule, manufacturers make a frame with the continuation of the elements for installation on both sides of the structure. In this case, it will be necessary to solve the problem of a more durable installation in the ground.

The design used by realtors or representatives of other businesses, as well as politicians, is often stylized. Very often used proprietary colors. You can see the logos on such designs, along with contact information. Realtors often use these signs to indicate real estate for sale.

The background is often white because information has better visiblity on a white background from a distance. However, you can find products with a different color background, but that color is often contractual to the information posted. This is also done for better visibility.
