Freestanding Aluminium Pole Signs
We custom manufacture freestanding aluminium signage to your requirements and these are often used for directional and other business signage solutions. Aluminium signage boards can be cut to shape, to create something different to your standard square or rectangular signs.
Vinyl prints or cut out elements can be applied or for something really special we can mount aluminium cut out letters to the backing board to create a 3D effect or look. The poles and frames are made from steel square tubing and sprayed to your required colour or pantone. Anodised or brushed ACM (Dibond) signage boards are then mounted to the structure.
Metal or Chromadek Pole Signs
We custom manufacture affordable freestanding signs, ground signs or pole signs with chromadek metal panels or sheets, based on your specific requirements, single sided, double sided or custom designs.
From basic parking signs, directional or way-finding signs to large construction and warning signs. These structures are sprayed to your required colour and vinyl prints are applied to the chromadek sheeting.
PVC Billboard Signs
PVC or vinyl billboard signs are the preferred option for large outdoor signage solutions, with prints that have no size limit and are waterproof and durable. The PVC print is applied, installed or stretched onto the frame structure in various different ways, depending on the actual or specific requirements.
The amount of upright poles and supporting stays are calculated based on the size of the billboard sign as well as the area or location where the sign needs to be installed. Our experienced and professional sales team will advise you on the best solution for your needs.
Banner Poles
Our banner pole or pole banner units are available in heights of either 6m or 9m. These units include a double sided, PVC print at 2000mm x 650mm in size. We do offer these banner pole units in either a single view, or double view option (2 banners). We do also offer wall mounted and custom options.
This outdoor signage solution is great for road side retail branding and the prints are easily replaceable perfect for your ever changing advertising requirements.
Parking & Directional Pole Signs
Parking, directional or way finding pole signs are generally made from steel square tubing and have either a metal/chromadek or aluminium fascia including a full colour vinyl print or vinyl cut out elements.
These ground or pole signs are durable and can be made single or double sided. Our installation teams will help install these freestanding signs with sturdy cement bases, below ground.
Portable Freestanding Signs
We custom manufacture portable or moveable signs based on your specific requirements.
These signs are ideal for both the office or retail sector and specifically where a sign needs to be moved around or brought in at night or when the business is closed.
We manufacture these signs in either steel or aluminium and we have numerous options for the branding elements, from replaceable posters to vinyl prints.
Freestanding & Pylon Signage – Frequently Asked Questions
What is freestanding signage?
Freestanding signage refers to any sign that stands on its own structural support—usually a steel or aluminium frame—rather than attaching to a wall or building. These freestanding signs include pylon signs, single- or double-pole signs and ground-level monuments, all engineered for long-term outdoor visibility.
What’s the difference between a pylon sign and a pole sign?
A pylon sign (sometimes called a totem) is a tall, enclosed structure that can house one or many tenant panels. A pole sign mounts a single sign face on one or two exposed poles. Both count as freestanding signage but differ in height, cladding and overall visual impact.
Do you design and install pylon signage in Johannesburg?
Yes. We design, fabricate and install pylon signage Johannesburg
Which materials last longest for pole signage?
Our pole signage is built from powder-coated steel frames with aluminium, anodised ACM (Dibond) or chromadek faces. These materials are rust-resistant, UV-stable and built to withstand South African weather for many years.
Can pylon signs be illuminated?
Absolutely. Pylon signs can be fitted with internal LED modules or external spotlights for 24/7 visibility. LEDs are energy-efficient and can be linked to day-night sensors for automatic switching.
How tall can a freestanding sign be?
Height is customised to your site and local regulations. Retail forecourt pole signs are often 4–6 m, while business-park pylons can exceed 8 m with engineered foundations.
What types of freestanding signs do you offer?
• Pylon signs for roadside branding
• Single- or double-pole signs
• Ground-level monument signs
• Shape-cut panels on posts
• Portable freestanding signs for easy repositioning
What is the typical lead time for a pole sign?
Standard projects take 7–12 working days from artwork approval to installation, depending on size and lighting. Rush options are available.
Can the graphics be updated later?
Yes. Sign faces printed on vinyl, PVC or ACM panels can be re-skinned without replacing the entire structure, making it easy to refresh branding or tenant information.
Where are freestanding signs most effective?
Freestanding and pole signs excel at entrances to corporate parks, office complexes, schools, fuel stations, retail forecourts and residential estates—anywhere high-level visibility or clear way-finding is required.
