Stand Tall with Pylon Signs

What gives your brand 24/7 visibility, 365 days a year? A well-designed pylon sign! These tall signs not only attract attention from long distances but also act as your personal billboard, positioning your business as a local landmark.

Pylon signs are the most cost-effective way to advertise, especially for businesses located along highways, interstates, or busy roads. They help capture the attention of speeding motorists, directing traffic to your location, even if your building isn't visible from the road. A pylon sign is a smart investment to ensure customers can easily find and visit your business.

Why Choose a Pylon Sign?

Pylon signs, often called pole signs, are freestanding structures built on poles, towering above the landscape for maximum visibility. Typically ranging between 20 and 100 feet tall, these signs can be illuminated for enhanced visibility at night. Whether you opt for internal or external illumination, a pylon sign is an effective tool to ensure your business remains visible day and night.

These signs are typically made from durable materials, like aluminum for the cabinet and polycarbonate or acrylic for the sign faces, mounted on sturdy steel poles. This robust construction makes pylon signs highly resistant to weather and ensures they have a long lifespan, giving you maximum return on your investment.

Pylon signs are made with just three key components: the cabinet, cabinet faces and sign support. Several materials can be used to manufacture pylon signs. For instance, the sign cabinet can be made with aluminum tubing or aluminum extrusions. The cabinet faces can be made from polycarbonate, acrylic, aluminum, and other materials. A pylon sign is commonly installed with steel poles.

Key Benefits:

  • Visibility from far distances
  • Customizable designs to fit your brand
  • Durable and weather-resistant to extend lifespan
  • Various height options to suit your needs
  • Acts as a personal billboard for your business

Common Applications

For businesses located on busy roads or in industrial complexes, pylon signs provide the perfect way to stand out. Their tall stature allows them to rise above obstructions like trees or buildings, guiding potential customers right to your door.

1. Multi-tenant Shopping Centers When your business is part of a multi-tenant shopping center, a tall sign stand displaying multiple businesses ensures that everyone in the area gets noticed. These signs help customers easily find their destination, especially in busy commercial zones.

2. Restaurants, Gas Stations, Hotels Long drives often require stops for fuel or food. A towering pylon sign can alert motorists from a distance, giving them ample time to take the necessary exit. The visibility of these signs is crucial in driving traffic to your business without relying on GPS or other distractions.

3. Car Dealerships Large lots, service roads, and sprawling inventories are common for car dealerships. A pylon sign placed at the dealership's entrance makes it easy for potential buyers to spot you from afar.
