While choosing a yard sign, carefully consider the size as per your need. Sizes can vary, depending on the purpose of the yard sign, such as using it for campaign elections or real estate listings. Read on to know more about yard signs and the appropriate sizes as per your requirement.

What are yard signs?
Made from corrugated plastic, yard signs consist of small column-like sections within the sign in a vertical direction, which also is known as vertical fluting. This fluting creates a path through the interior of the sign that is later used to insert wire stakes. This way, you can display the sign after the wires are in the vertical fluting. Following this, the signs can then be easily set up on the lawn or any soft terrain.

Other materials such as rigid plastic signs or the standard aluminum sign can also be used to make yard signs. However, corrugated plastic is the most commonly used component, as it can create weather-resistant, durable, and cheap signs. Yard signs can be used as directional signs, real estate listings, and slogans for political campaigns, making them multipurpose.

Size of yard signs
The purpose of the yard sign determines the size you require. The general dimensions of yard signs are typically 24”x18”. This size adequately displays the information for passers-by and can be used in various locations for different purposes. This also ensures that the sign can be set up easily, as the size matches display options, such as wire stakes and metal frames. You will find many variable versions of a corrugated plastic yard sign, but a standard Coroplast™ sign is 4 mm thick.

You can use previously used frames and wire stakes with new yard signs. However, make sure that the size of the new signs matches the dimensions of those stakes. Also, if the information has to be displayed at a difficult location where it is not easily visible, opt for a larger-sized sign.

In the case of metal or aluminum frames, the size of the signs needs to be chosen by matching the size of the insert location in the frame. Political campaigns use the standard size of 24”x18”. However, real estate frames are made at the height of 47” with a 24” standard width. Another distinguishing factor for real estate frames is that they are made of a durable iron frame.
