The Olympia CL009 is a proper workhorse. You see these outside pubs and  cafes for a reason – they're incredibly resilient.

  • Roadside Ready: The sturdy build and  decent weight mean it won't topple in a breeze.
  • Surface Specific: Performs best with liquid chalk; traditional chalk won't give the same vibrant look.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Spoon Bistro in York needed to replace their old, flimsy wooden A-frame that had taken a battering from the northern weather. They wanted something that looked more professional and  could stand its ground on a busy street.

"We needed a sign that looked the part and  didn't need replacing every year. The Olympia board is solid, the black frame is smart, and  our chalk pen messages really stand out against it. It's made a huge difference to our kerb appeal."

David Chen – Owner, The Gilded Spoon Bistro

Since switching, the bistro has noted a distinct increase in walk-in customers for its lunch specials, directly attributing it to the sign's clear, professional presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply remove all packaging upon arrival – no assembly needed.
  • Place the sign on a flat, even surface for maximum stability.
  • Release the secure latch on the side of the frame.
  • Carefully open the board into its 'A' position, ensuring its feet are firmly planted.

Keeping It Going

  • For the best results, always use liquid chalk pens, not traditional chalk.
  • Wipe the board clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a recommended blackboard cleaner.
  • To maximise its lifespan, bring the sign indoors during severe weather like gales or storms.
  • Periodically check that the closing latch is functioning correctly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pavement Sign

Not sure what fits your spot best? Picking the right sign can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to help you choose.

Location, Location, Location

Consider your frontage. An A-frame is perfect for pedestrianised areas and  pavements, guiding eyes directly towards your entrance without causing an obstruction.

Material Matters

A metal framed pavement sign like this offers superior weight and  durability compared to lighter plastic alternatives, making it a much better choice for windy locations.

Built for British Weather

If your business is in the UK, a waterproof frame isn't a bonus, it's essential. It prevents rust and  keeps your sign looking professional for longer.

Consider Your Message

Do you change your offers daily? A chalkboard surface gives you the ultimate flexibility to wipe and  rewrite your message in minutes.

Weight vs. Portability

This 8.7kg sign is a great balance. It's heavy enough to be stable, but light enough for your staff to safely carry in and  out each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use normal stick chalk on this board?

A: It's specifically designed for use with liquid chalk pens. They provide a much brighter, sharper message that's also more resistant to light rain.

Q: Is it heavy enough to withstand wind?

A: It weighs 8.7kg, giving it good stability in normal breezy conditions. However, we always recommend bringing it inside during very high winds or gales.

Q: Is the frame genuinely rust-proof?

A: Yes, the frame has a full waterproof coating designed to seal the metal and  prevent rust from developing in typical outdoor conditions.

Q: What are the exact dimensions when it is open and  standing?

A: When open, it stands 1025mm high, 675mm wide, and  has a depth of 660mm from front to back leg.

Q: Does it arrive flat-packed or ready to use?

A: It arrives fully assembled and  ready to go. Just unbox it, unlatch the side, and  it's ready for your first message.

Q: What material is the actual blackboard surface?

A: The writing surface is made from a high-quality MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard), chosen for its smooth, durable finish.

Q: How does the securing latch work?

A: A simple and  robust metal latch on the side of the frame hooks into place, holding the two sides together when closed for easy transport.

Q: Can this be chained to a post?

A: The frame design allows a chain or lock to be passed through it, which is a common practice for securing signs overnight.

Rain or Shine: Why a 'Fully Coated' Frame Matters

You often see 'waterproof' on product descriptions, but what does 'fully coated' really mean for this sign? It’s not just a quick coat of black paint. It means the entire metal frame has been treated with a durable, weather-resistant finish that seals it from the elements. This coating is specifically designed to prevent moisture from getting to the metal, which stops rust in its tracks and  prevents the ugly bubbling and  peeling you see on cheaper signs.

Think of it like a quality Gore-Tex jacket versus a cheap poncho. The poncho might keep a light shower off, but the proper jacket is built to handle persistent rain without letting you down. This frame's coating does the same, protecting your investment and  ensuring your business looks sharp and  professional, whatever the British weather decides to do.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafes & Bakeries: Perfect for displaying your 'cake of the day' or coffee deals to entice passers-by.
  • Pubs & Bars: A must-have for advertising quiz nights, happy hours, or Sunday roast availability.
  • Independent Shops: Announce sales, new arrivals, or opening times right on the high street.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An ideal restaurant pavement sign to showcase your evening menu and  attract dinner reservations.
