Put Timely Messages in Front of Tigard Customers

A-frame signs place timely messages where customers can see them as they approach a storefront, entrance, or promotion. FASTSIGNS® of Tigard, OR creates A-Frame & Sidewalk Signs as part of our point of purchase sign offerings for commercial businesses.

An A-frame sign is a portable, freestanding display that’s easy to set up and integrate with existing signs and graphics. It extends brand messaging to places where customers make immediate decisions. Because we’re locally owned and operated, you work with a team familiar with the needs of Tigard businesses.

Call (503) 994-2865 to discuss your message, display location, and available A-frame sign options.

Commercial Uses for A-Frame Signs

Portable A-frame signs provide flexible communication without making every message part of permanent storefront signage. They can attract customers, reinforce information at the point of purchase, and provide direction as messages or placements change.

Businesses commonly use portable signs for:

Restaurant messages: Highlight daily specials, menus, or upcoming events for passersby.
Retail promotions: Call attention to seasonal products, limited-time offers, or an entrance that isn’t immediately visible.
Customer direction: Identify pickup areas, temporary entrances, or the correct path through a property.
Delivery instructions: Direct delivery drivers to a side entrance or another designated location.
Event communication: Display schedules, registration directions, or changing information near an event space.

A format with changeable copy can be useful when a business updates its message more frequently than permanent signage allows. The appropriate format depends on how often the copy changes and where the sign will be displayed.

Custom A-Frame & Sidewalk Sign Development

We begin by discussing the business objective, intended audience, message, and display setting. Design planning also considers brand elements, viewing distance, and how quickly someone walking or driving past needs to understand the sign.

Our visual communication services include content development, graphic design, installation, and project management. We coordinate these services around the client’s marketing goals rather than treating each sign as an isolated piece.

A sidewalk sign can also fit within a broader visual communications program. To carry consistent brand messaging across customer touchpoints, we offer:

Pricing for a Custom Sign

A custom quote depends on the selected format, design requirements, quantity, and locally available options. We confirm product availability and project details before pricing the work. This conversation also helps us understand where the sign will be used and how often it may need to be moved or updated.

Plan Your Portable Sign Project

A useful project brief explains what the sign needs to communicate, where it’ll be displayed, and whether the message will remain consistent or change regularly. We can use those details to review available options and prepare a custom quote.

Our contact form provides a convenient way to share information about your custom visual communication needs.

Materials & Display Formats for A-Frame Signs

The display location, expected handling, and exposure to weather all affect which material category may be appropriate. Common construction options include coated wood, plastic composite, and metal, although specific products and configurations depend on local availability.

General format considerations include:

Metal frames: Some metal A-frame signs use snap-open faces that hold replaceable printed inserts.
Plastic frames: Some plastic signs have bases that can be filled with water or sand. The added weight can improve stability on sidewalks, in parking lots, and at outdoor events.
Wood frames: Wood A-frame signs are generally lighter and may be better suited to locations that aren’t exposed to strong wind.

Visibility matters as much as the frame. The sign face needs sufficient contrast, readable type, and a focused message for the expected viewing distance. We can discuss these design factors while confirming which materials, dimensions, and display-face options are locally available for the project.

Tigard Sidewalk Sign Placement Requirements

Tigard requirements may affect the size, location, and display timing of A-frame signs. Before placing a sign near a sidewalk, curb, or other public right-of-way, businesses should review the following requirements:

Number and size: In non-residential zones, the permitted number of A-frame signs per building is based on the number of first-story tenant spaces or the length of the street-facing facade. Each sign is limited to 6 square feet per sign face, or 12 square feet across all sign faces, with a maximum width and height of 3 feet.
Pedestrian access: A sign placed in the public right-of-way, which is property reserved for public travel or transportation use, must leave at least 4 feet of unobstructed sidewalk width for pedestrian through-travel.
Distance from traffic: The sign must sit behind the curb or, where there’s no curb, at least 10 feet from the nearest travel lane. Signs can’t project into Oregon Department of Transportation right-of-way.
Timing and approval: Tigard prohibits displaying an A-frame sign while the sign owner’s business is closed to the public. A sign projecting into the public right-of-way is subject to City Engineer approval.

These requirements don’t constitute approval for a particular placement. Businesses should confirm the current rules and any required authorization for their proposed location.
