Pavement Boards

Pavement Boards are freestanding outdoor display signs designed to promote menus, specials and events right at street level. This range includes classic wooden pavement boards, metal framed A-boards, sandwich boards and floor standing snap frames in a choice of sizes and finishes. Ideal for cafes, restaurants, pubs, hotels and retail, they help draw footfall and clearly communicate offers to passers-by. Built for durability and weather resistance, they combine strong visibility with easy handling for busy Irish hospitality venues.

• Wood framed pavement boards in compact and large formats, perfect for daily menu and specials displays outside cafes, bistros and pubs.
• Metal framed pavement boards with carry handles for extra robustness and easy transport between indoor and outdoor areas.
• Aluminium clip frame and snap frame pavement signs for quick poster changes and professional, branded graphics.
• Sandwich A-boards in black, teak and mahogany finishes to match your venue style and enhance kerbside presentation.
• Options supplied with Securit or Posterman pens for instant, eye-catching chalkboard style messages.
• Lightweight yet sturdy constructions designed for frequent repositioning on pavements, terraces and forecourts.

How to choose the right Pavement Boards

• Measure the space available on your pavement or forecourt to choose a board size that is visible from the street without obstructing walkways.
• Select a frame material to suit your environment and brand, such as warm wood for rustic venues or metal and aluminium for contemporary sites.
• Decide whether you prefer a chalkboard writing surface for daily menu changes or snap frame styles for printed posters and long-running promotions.
• Consider how often you will move the board; choose lighter models with carry handles for frequent repositioning or heavier units for exposed locations.
• Match the board finish and colour to your existing signage, awnings and furniture for a consistent front-of-house presentation.
• Check compatibility with chalk markers or liquid chalk pens if you plan to update messages several times a day.

Care and maintenance

• Clean writing surfaces daily with a suitable chalkboard or marker cleaner to prevent ghosting and keep messages sharp.
• Wipe down wooden and metal frames regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that can damage finishes.
• Allow boards to dry fully after rain and store indoors overnight where possible to extend life and protect hardware.
• Inspect hinges, chains and fixings frequently, tightening or replacing worn parts to maintain stability and safety on busy pavements.
• Use non-permanent, recommended chalk or liquid chalk pens to avoid staining and make message changes quick and easy.
• In very windy conditions, bring boards inside or secure them appropriately to prevent tipping and potential accidents.
