Outdoor Water-Base Snap Frame Sign | Wind-Resistant Sidewalk Display

A double-sided sidewalk sign built for wind. The aluminum frame sits on two heavy steel springs above a molded polyethylene base you fill with water, or with sand where it freezes. The springs let the sign flex in a gust instead of going over, and the filled base holds it down. The base takes about 2.5 to 3 gallons, which adds over 25 lbs.

All four edges of the frame snap open, so a poster goes in behind the included non-glare UV lens and the frame snaps shut over it. No tools, and the lens keeps rain, dust and sun off the print. Recessed wheels and a molded grip mean one person can tilt it back and roll it inside at closing time with the base still full.

Frequently asked questions

What size poster does it take?
23.5 x 33 in., which is the insert size behind the lens. The visible area is slightly smaller at 22.875 x 32.5 in., so keep anything that has to be read away from the outer quarter inch.

Water or sand?
Water in mild weather. Sand once it freezes, because water expands as it turns to ice and will crack the base.

Can one person move it full?
Yes. Tilt it back on the recessed wheels and roll it. It runs over concrete, asphalt and tile.

Ordering from Stow, Ohio

Send artwork at 23.5 x 33 in. and we print on super flat vinyl, which lies down in the frame rather than curling. If the two faces carry different messages, tell us which is which.
