- Aesthetic Appeal: The warm oak finish and elegant curve look fantastic outside any establishment.
- Weather Care: Being natural wood, it will need protecting from heavy, persistent rain.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Café, located on a bustling pedestrian street in York, wanted to replace a tired, old plastic sign to better reflect their cosy, traditional interior and stand out amongst the competition.
"We needed something with a bit more character that would catch people's eye. This board looks the part and feels incredibly sturdy. Our daily specials are getting much more attention now, and it just feels more in keeping with our brand."
Mark Jennings – Owner
The café noted a 15% increase in footfall for their advertised lunch special within the first month of using the new sign.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unfold the frame gently on a flat surface until the legs are fully extended.
- Use high-quality liquid chalk pens or traditional chalk for the most vibrant and clear messages.
- Position the board where it is clearly visible to passing foot traffic but not causing an obstruction.
- Ensure the retaining chain is secure to prevent the frame from over-extending on uneven ground.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the board regularly with a damp cloth; for stubborn chalk pen marks, use a specialised cleaner.
- Bring the sign indoors during heavy rain or very strong winds to protect the natural wood finish.
- Periodically check that all hinges and fittings are tight and secure to ensure its longevity.
- To keep the wood looking its best, a light coat of clear outdoor varnish can be applied seasonally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens on this board?
A: Absolutely. Both traditional chalk and modern liquid chalk pens work perfectly on this surface for a bold, clear message.
Q: Is the board double-sided?
A: Yes, it features a chalkboard surface on both sides, allowing you to attract customers approaching from either direction.
Q: How heavy is it to carry in and out?
A: It's designed to be lightweight and portable, making it easy for any member of staff to move and store at the start and end of the day.
Q: What are the full dimensions when it's set up?
A: When open and standing, its footprint is 850mm high, 424mm wide, and 498mm deep.
Q: Does it come pre-assembled?
A: Yes, it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Just unfold it, get your chalk out, and you're good to go.
Q: Is the wood treated for outdoor use?
A: The oak finish provides good protection against the elements, but as with any natural wood product, we recommend bringing it inside during heavy rain or extreme weather to prolong its life.
Q: How do I clean the board effectively?
A: A simple damp cloth is usually sufficient for daily cleaning. For more stubborn liquid chalk residue, a specialised chalkboard cleaning spray is recommended.
Q: Is it sturdy enough for a windy day?
A: The A-frame design offers excellent stability in typical high-street conditions. However, for gale-force winds, it's always safest to bring it inside.
