Business signs are eye-catching and display the name of your company, which draws more foot traffic. However, inclement weather conditions may damage the sign and make it less effective. For instance, hail can dent in the metal, and wind could dislodge or blow away panels and lettering. Below, you’ll learn more about how to protect your business sign from storms. 

4 Tips for Protecting Business Signs In Bad Weather

1. Install Wheels

For smaller signs that are not pole-mounted or cemented into the ground, install wheels to make them easier to move. Rather than leaving the sign outdoors in the harsh elements, roll it into a utility shed, garage, or covered area on your commercial property when you notice inclement weather in the forecast. 

2. Upgrade Your Sign

Plastic signs may be flimsy and damage during gusty conditions, while signs made from aluminum tend to rust easily. Upgrade your business sign to galvanized steel, which is corrosion-proof and withstands heavy rain and wind. Additionally, invest in a sign with UV protection that will prevent the colors of the logos and letters from fading. 

3. Trim Trees

Hire a lawn maintenance service to trim the foliage on your lot so that it doesn’t put your sign in jeopardy. 

4. Install a Wind Barrier

Wind protectors and letter guards prevent gusts from dislodging the panels and lettering on your business sign. Additionally, they protect against dirt, debris, discoloration, and rusting, so contact a sign maintenance company about installing them.
