Advertising panels for fencing

Advertising panels for fencing

Advertising panels for fencing turn a boundary into a full advertising carrier. Every fence around a sports ground, a building site or a company site sits on a line that hundreds of people look at every day. Rigid printed panels put that surface to work in a way that lasts for years: they stay flat, they do not flap, and they keep their colour even after several seasons outdoors.

We produce and supply these panels to sports clubs, local authorities, contractors and businesses. Often it is a run of sponsor boards around a football or tennis pitch, sometimes information and safety boards on a site fence, and sometimes screening for a site that announces the company at the same time.

Where you use them

• Sponsor boards around sports grounds, along the touchline and behind the goal
• Site fencing, with project information, safety instructions and partners
• Perimeter fencing on industrial estates, as a brand carrier facing the road

Why a panel rather than a banner

A banner costs less and goes up faster, and it is the right choice for temporary communication or for a sponsor who signs up for a single season. You choose a rigid panel as soon as the message has to stay up longer. It stays taut, it does not move in the wind, and it avoids the rippling and fading that textile picks up over time.

Materials

Aluminium composite panel

An aluminium composite sheet with a plastic core: flat, light and weather-resistant. The most widely used material for sponsor boards around a pitch.

Solid aluminium

Stronger and better able to take vandalism, impact and balls. The choice for places where things genuinely hit the panel.

Plastic sheet

Lighter and cheaper, suited to temporary set-ups and sheltered positions. In large formats and long-term outdoor use it is less dimensionally stable and more sensitive to UV.

Printing and finishing

Panels are printed directly or finished with laminated vinyl, always with UV-resistant ink. A protective laminate is advisable for south-facing positions, because without protection red and blue in particular fade noticeably. Beyond that, rounded corners, deburred edges, correctly drilled holes and a reinforcing profile on large formats are what make the difference in use.

Fixing and installation

Panels are fixed with cable ties, clamp brackets, bolts or a profile frame. Clamp brackets cost more but are reusable and tidier, and they let you replace a panel without damaging the fence.

• Fix at a minimum of four points; a panel held at two points will vibrate and tear around the holes
• Allow for wind load: a run of solid panels puts a considerable load on posts and foundations
• Check that the fence can take that load before you clad a full line
• On public land, follow what the local authority, the road authority and the tender specification require

When a panel is not the right choice

For a message that runs for a few weeks a rigid panel is a waste: take a banner or a cover instead. On a fence that is moved regularly, panels get damaged with every move. And panels do not make a fence stronger or safer: they screen views and communicate, but they are no substitute for a sound fence.

What determines the price?

The price depends on the format, the material and sheet thickness, the number of printed sides, the print technique, the laminate, the finishing such as rounded corners, drilled holes and reinforcing profiles, and the quantity. Fixing hardware, artwork and on-site installation also weigh in. A run of identical panels works out differently from a run of unique sponsor boards.
