What Is a Pylon Sign? Benefits, Uses & Installation Tips

Looking to boost your visibility from the road? Pylon signs are one of the most effective ways to attract attention—especially in high-traffic areas. Whether you manage a retail center, service station, or commercial property, a well-designed pylon sign can help you stand out and drive more customers through your doors.


What Is a Pylon Sign?

A pylon sign is a tall, freestanding outdoor sign mounted on one or two steel poles. It’s built to catch attention from a distance and hold up in tough weather. Businesses often install these signs near roads, highways, or shopping center entrances. Some pylon signs even include internal lighting or LED screens for round-the-clock visibility.


Key Benefits of Pylon Signs

  • Better Visibility
    Pylon signs rise above visual clutter and help customers find you quickly, even from a distance.

  • Customizable Designs
    Choose from single or double-sided signs, digital displays, or multi-tenant panels. Add your logo, brand colors, and fonts for a fully branded look.

  • Strong and Weather-Resistant
    These signs are made from steel, aluminum, and durable panels—designed to handle wind, rain, and sun.

  • Ideal for Multi-Tenant Properties
    Shopping centers and business parks often choose pylon signs that can be updated easily as tenants change.


What to Consider Before Installing a Pylon Sign

Before moving forward, make sure you understand local regulations and site conditions. Here are a few things to check:

  • Council Permits: You’ll need permission from your local council, especially for lit or digital signs. We can guide you through the process.

  • Zoning and Height Rules: Each area has its own limits. We’ll help ensure compliance.

  • Engineering Requirements: Signs must be built for local wind loads, soil type, and site conditions.

  • Power Access: If your sign will light up or display digital content, it needs a safe power connection.

  • Maintenance Needs: LED signs or illuminated panels may need occasional servicing.
