What is the Standing Round Sign?
The Standing Round Sign is a freestanding pavement sign with a round face on a pedestal base. It comes in two sizes: Small at 40″ (102 cm) tall with a 9.8″ (25 cm) face, weighing 4.4 lbs (2 kg); or Regular at 45.7″ (116 cm) tall with a 15.7″ (40 cm) face, weighing 10.3 lbs (4.7 kg). Made from aluminum and supplied as a blank.
What else is it called?
A freestanding sign, pedestal sign, or standing sign. In the US and Canada it's often called a sidewalk sign; in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, a pavement sign.
What sizes does it come in?
Two. Small stands 40″ (102 cm) with a 9.8″ (25 cm) face and 9.8″ (25 cm) base. Regular stands 45.7″ (116 cm) with a 15.7″ (40 cm) face and 15.7″ (40 cm) base.
Does the Standing Round Sign need any screws for fixing?
No. It's completely freestanding on a pedestal base — no screws, no drilling, nothing permanent. That suits leased premises, footpath trading where signage comes in each night, and events or markets.
Is the Standing Round Sign stable in the wind?
The base is hollow and can be filled with water to weigh the sign down, so it stays put in normal street conditions without needing separate sandbags. Empty it to move or store the sign, and refill it when you set it out. In very exposed or coastal locations, we'd still recommend bringing it inside overnight or in heavy weather.
What is it made from?
Aluminum, which is fully rust-resistant — so it holds up outdoors, including in coastal conditions.
Does the Standing Round Sign arrive branded?
No — it's supplied as a blank. A local signwriter can apply a vinyl decal to each face. If you need more information, check out our blog post on the sign writing process.
Can you write on the Standing Round Sign with a pen?
We don't recommend using any kind of pen or marker on the Standing Round Sign. For lettering or artwork, a local signwriter can apply a vinyl decal.
Is the Standing Round Sign magnetic?
No — the Standing Round Sign isn't magnetic, so it won't take magnetic letters.
