Wooden A Boards buying guide

What are the benefits of Wooden A Boards?

Compared to traditional aluminium pavement signs, wooden alternatives have a number of advantages:

• They can be used to enhance your brand. If you are a café, grocer or a country pub, a natural wooden frame can further enhance your brand. If you have a rustic interior, extend this to your pavement area with a Wooden A Board.


• They are easy to update. This is a massive advantage to those in the hospitality sector who have daily specials or promotions to advertise. They can be updated and cleaned in a matter of minutes, much quicker than a traditional poster display.


• They can be customised. Many of our A Boards are designed with a header area which is perfect for your brand logo, name or message. This can help boost your advertising, with double sided branding available for many A Boards.

How do I update a Wooden A Board?

The majority of Our A Boards are designed with blackboard panels. Blackboards or chalkboards can be updated with liquid chalk pens or traditional chalk sticks, both of which are easy to clean off.

The advantage of chalk updates is you can be as creative as you like and really capture the moment. If a major national event is happening that day and your company wants to maximise on this opportunity, it is a lot quicker to update a chalk message than a printed poster.

What style of pavement signs are available?

At UK POS, we currently offer four varieties of Wooden A Boards, all of which can be customised:

Standard Wooden Chalk A Board. This Pavement Sign is a traditional style with a solid dark oak timber stained frame and two chalkboards. It can written on both sides with chalk sticks or liquid chalk pens and is easy to clean.

Reversible Chalk A Board. This A Board gives you four displays in one. The two chalkboards can be decorated on both sides and are easily flipped by the easy access top opening. If your menu changes from morning to lunch, you can have your next menu ready on the reverse for quick and easy midday updates.

Snap Frame Wooden Chalk A Board. One of our most versatile Pavement Signs, this unit is designed with both a chalkboard and a Snap Frame. This is the perfect solution for many industries and business types. Each side of the board has a chalkboard panel with a black Snap Frame fitted on top. You can alter between printed posters or chalk messages. This is a great way to achieve a rustic wooden display with a modern poster element.

Coloured Wooden Chalk A Board. Any of our Wooden Pavement Signs can be spray painted in a colour of your choice. This is a great way to emphasise your brand with a matching outdoor POS display. Available with all the same benefits of natural wood frames, choose from a standard black frame or choose your company colour.
