Outdoor advertising is an effective way to attract passing customers, but unpredictable British weather can make choosing the right pavement sign a challenge. Strong winds can cause lightweight advertising boards to topple over, potentially damaging your signage and creating a safety hazard.

If your business is located in an exposed area, investing in a wind-resistant pavement sign is essential. But which designs offer the best stability, and what features should you look for?


WINDSTORM® PRO – Reliable Everyday Outdoor Advertising

The WINDSTORM® PRO Pavement Sign is a popular choice for businesses requiring durable, affordable outdoor advertising.

Available in A1 and A0 sizes, it features a weighted water base, integrated wheels, and heavy-duty coil springs that absorb wind movement.

Designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 30mph (52km/h), WINDSTORM® PRO is ideal for high street shops, cafés, restaurants and retail premises.

ZONDA® PRO – Heavy-Duty Wind Resistance

For more exposed locations, the ZONDA® PRO Pavement Sign offers additional wind resistance.

Its robust steel construction, spring-mounted poster frame and substantial waterbase provide stability in challenging outdoor environments.

With a stated wind resistance of up to 45mph (70km/h), ZONDA® PRO is particularly suitable for supermarkets, forecourts and businesses requiring a more substantial advertising display.

SUREFLEX® – Flexible, Wind-Resistant Advertising

The SUREFLEX® Pavement Sign uses a different approach to wind resistance. Rather than relying on springs, its aircraft-grade aluminium panel flexes naturally in the wind.

A patented weighted recycled PVC base provides stability, while the flexible double-sided panel displays custom-printed vinyl graphics.

For businesses with limited pavement space, the SUREFLEX® LITE offers the same innovative design in a smaller, more compact format. Both signs feature tool-free assembly and are ideal for everyday outdoor advertising.

Swinger Pavement Signs – Designed to Move with the Wind

The Swinger Pavement Sign Range offers a practical and cost-effective outdoor advertising solution for shops, cafés, restaurants and high street businesses.

Unlike traditional rigid pavement signs, Swinger signs feature a suspended advertising panel that moves freely within a sturdy frame. This swinging motion reduces wind resistance, while the weighted base provides stability during everyday outdoor use.

The range includes the Eco Swinger, Swinger 2, Swinger 3000, and Swinger 4000, offering a range of display sizes and styles to suit different advertising needs. With options for interchangeable posters or custom-printed graphics, Swinger pavement signs provide a versatile way to promote your business, special offers and seasonal campaigns.

Tips for Using Pavement Signs in Windy Weather

  • Even wind-resistant pavement signs require correct positioning and maintenance.
  • Fill the base correctly: Always follow the manufacturer's recommended filling instructions to achieve maximum stability.
  • Choose a suitable location: Avoid unnecessarily exposed positions where strong gusts could affect the sign.
  • Check weather forecasts: Bring pavement signs indoors during severe weather, storms or winds exceeding their specified limits.
  • Inspect regularly: Check frames, springs and fixings for signs of wear or damage.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Pavement Sign

The best pavement sign depends on your location, available space and typical weather conditions.

For everyday outdoor advertising, WINDSTORM® PRO offers an excellent balance of affordability and durability. For more exposed environments, ZONDA® PRO provides increased wind resistance, while larger forecourt signs offer greater advertising visibility.
