The Outdoor A-Frame Banner Stand puts your message on a freestanding, two-sided display, ready for roadsides, forecourts, shop fronts and outdoor events. Choose from 1.5m, 2.5m or 3m wide, each built on a lightweight aluminium A-frame and supplied with two printed banners as standard, one for each side.
Your artwork is printed in full colour onto strong display polyester for excellent print clarity, and each side can carry the same design or a different one. The banners fix to the frame with bungee ties through the eyelets, and can be washed and cool ironed so they keep looking sharp from one event to the next. There are no tools to bring: the stand goes up in around five minutes, pegs down on grass and packs into its carry bag at the end of the day.
Every banner comes with a free artwork proof from our design team before anything goes to print.

Every Outdoor A-Frame Banner Stand order includes:
Aluminium A-frame (1.5m, 2.5m or 3m wide)
Two custom printed display polyester banners with eyelets (one for each side)
Bungee ties to fit both banners
Ground pegs
Soft carry bag
1.5m, 2.5m and 3m A-Frame Banner Stands
All three stands use the same lightweight aluminium A-frame design. The 1.5m and 2.5m versions stand 1 metre high, ideal for shop fronts, roadside verges and event entrances, while the 3m version stands 1.25 metres high for maximum presence at larger venues and along routes where people approach from a distance.
Every stand comes with two printed banners as standard, one on each side, so your message catches people from either direction. Each side can carry the same artwork or a different design.
The 1.5m stand is the most compact in the range, ideal for shop fronts, pavements, cafés and smaller events where space is tight.
Compact Footprint
At 1.5 metres wide and 1 metre high, it fits neatly outside a doorway or at the edge of a path without blocking foot traffic.
Quick Assembly
The aluminium sections push together without tools, and the banners attach with bungee ties through the eyelets. Most people have it built in around five minutes.
Two-Sided as Standard
A printed banner on each side means the stand works for people approaching from either direction.
Lightweight and Portable
Weighing just 4kg, the 1.5m stand is easy for one person to carry, set up and pack away.
Secure on Grass
Ground pegs anchor the frame on grass and soft ground, keeping it steady in breezy conditions.

At 2.5 metres wide and 1 metre high, there is room for a bold headline, logo and offer that passing traffic can read at a glance.
Quick Assembly
Like every stand in the range, it goes together without tools in around five minutes, with the banners fixed by bungee ties.
Two-Sided as Standard
With a banner on each side as standard, it catches drivers and pedestrians coming from both directions.

Quick Assembly
Despite its size, the frame still assembles without tools in around five minutes.
Two-Sided as Standard
Two banners as standard double your exposure along routes, entrances and car parks.

All three stands share the same frame design and quick set-up. The right size depends on how far away people will be when they first see your banner, and how much space you have.
1.5m Stand
Best for shop fronts, cafés, pavements and smaller events, where people pass within a few metres.
It is the lightest option at 4kg and the easiest to move between sites.
2.5m and 3m Stands
Choose the 2.5m for roadsides, forecourts and event entrances, where drivers and visitors need to take in your message at a glance. Step up to the 3m, at 1.25 metres high, for festivals, sports grounds and large open sites.
Still undecided? Tell us where the stand is going and we will recommend the right size.
The A-frame is designed to go up quickly with no tools, so you can get on with your event.
Assembling the frame
Slot the aluminium sections together and open the frame into its A shape. There are no screws or small fixings to lose.
Fitting your banners
Hook the bungee ties through the banner eyelets and around the frame. The ties keep the banner taut while allowing it to flex slightly in the wind.
Securing and packing away
Push the ground pegs in at the feet on grass or soft ground. At the end of the day, unhook the banners, fold the frame and pack everything into the soft carry bag.

An A-frame banner stand puts a big, two-sided message at ground level, exactly where people walk and drive past.
Festivals and outdoor events. Signpost entrances, sponsors, bars and campsites.
Roadsides and verges. Promote events, open days and offers to passing traffic.
Garage forecourts and car dealerships. Highlight deals and services along the frontage.
Shop fronts and cafés. Draw attention to menus, offers and new openings.
Sports clubs and pitches. Brand pitch-side areas, car parks and clubhouse entrances.
Schools, colleges and universities. Open days, admissions and event wayfinding.
Food fairs and markets. Make your stall easy to find from across the field.
Need height as well as width? Pair your A-frame with our custom feather flags to be seen from further away.
The A-frame is quick to order, but a few decisions upfront will get the best from your display.
1. Choose the size for the viewing distance
Pick the 1.5m for pavements and shop fronts, the 2.5m for roadsides and entrances, and the 3m when people need to read your message from across a field or car park.
2. Keep the message short
Passing drivers have a few seconds to read your banner. A clear headline, your logo and one call to action work far better than paragraphs of text.
3. Decide what goes on each side
Both banners are included, so think about who will see each side. Use the same artwork on both for a consistent message, or a different design on each, such as a welcome on one side and directions or an offer on the other.
4. Plan for the weather
The stand is designed for outdoor use in moderate winds of up to around 40km/h (25mph). In stronger winds, take the banners down to protect the frame and graphics.
5. Count your lead time from artwork approval
Production starts once you approve your artwork proof, not when you place your order. Allow time for at least one round of amends if you are working to an event date.
Each size has its own banner template, so your artwork fits the frame with the eyelets in the right place. You can use the same artwork on both banners or send a different design for each side. If you are supplying your own artwork, ask us for the template for your size and we will send it over with guidance on bleed and safe areas. Prefer us to handle it? Our in-house design team will set up your artwork free of charge and send a proof for approval.
Every A-frame banner stand is supplied with two banners printed to order, so your timescale starts when you approve your artwork proof. Choose the service that fits your deadline at checkout.
