Advertising Hoardings – Size & Type

The 'Outdoor' advertising market defines the size of advertising hoardings by reference to the number of 'Sheets' used to form the final visual display are of the advertisement. This term originates from the historical Crown printing press which has now been superseded by modern technology. For example, a 48 sheet originally comprised of forty eight individual pieces but now is made up of only twelve.

Apart from the size and the type of the advertising hoardings their installation may also vary reflecting the location and character of the property on which the advertising hoarding is to be located. The options are normally wall mounted advertising hoardings, land sites with the advertising hoarding supported by a structure of simple RSJs, monopoles or 'design' structures. The latter provide the possibility of back-to-back advertising hoarding panels with a minimum footprint and land utilisation.
