Choose double‑sided A‑frames: insert‑style for fast swaps or fixed‑face ACP for durability. Use bold arrows; 600×900 or 900×1200 for reach.
Use 600 × 900 mm insert‑style A‑frames when addresses and arrows change week to week; they’re quick to swap and easy for one person to carry. If you’ve got the verge space and a two‑person lift, 900 × 1200 mm fixed‑face boards deliver maximum street presence. Place a board before every decision point, add low weights on windy days, and keep spare inserts in the boot so set‑ups stay fast and repeatable in Australian conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the quickest way to change details between inspections?
Use an insert‑style frame and keep spare printed inserts for arrows and address variants. For fixed faces, apply a small contour‑cut decal for time windows so the main panel doesn’t need replacing.
Will the print fade in strong Australian sun?
All outdoor prints weather over time. Selecting suitable print systems and, where appropriate, a protective laminate helps, but exposure, orientation and cleaning practices also affect life.
Can I include a QR code on a pavement board?
Yes, but keep the core message readable without a phone. Make the code large enough for close scanning and test it on a printed proof before production.
How should I clean and store boards after a wet day?
Rinse off dirt, use mild cleaners compatible with the print and laminate, allow to dry fully, then stack flat with faces separated to prevent scuffing.
Are there rules about placing these on footpaths?
Local requirements vary. Keep a clear pedestrian path, avoid blocking driveways or ramps, and check any council guidance for your area before deployment.
Which print method is better: direct to panel or printed vinyl applied?
Direct print can simplify construction; printed vinyl allows more laminate and specialty options, and can make future face changes easier. The choice depends on finish and update needs.
Do you ship portable boards outside South East Queensland?
Yes. Manufactured signage can be dispatched Australia‑wide with packaging designed to protect printed faces, corners and edges during transport.
