Municipal hoarding

Municipal hoarding — galvanised post and panel hoarding for city works

Post 220×300×0.9 mm galvanised tube Concealed post 80×80×1.0 mm galvanised tube Panel 480 mm white + 400 mm grey Brace 50×50×0.9 mm square tube

This is the heavier of our post-and-panel hoardings: a deep galvanised post at each station, a concealed post inside the panel line, and a panel face split into two horizontal bands. It is the type specified where a works site sits directly against a public road, a footway or a residential frontage, and the hoarding has to look orderly for the months the contract runs. Our own work with it has been on municipal and metro construction projects in central China, and the same structure is what we quote for export.

The post is a 220×300×0.9 mm galvanised tube — the deep section is what gives the run its stiffness over long, unsupported spans. Behind the panel face an 80×80×1.0 mm galvanised concealed post carries the joint between panels and keeps the visible face flush. A 50×50×0.9 mm square-tube brace props the run from the works side, and the base is a flange plate with expansion bolts, so the hoarding is bolted to a concrete or paved surface rather than cast into it.

The face is deliberately plain: a 480 mm white panel band over a 400 mm grey panel band. That two-band arrangement is the common municipal pattern, and it is also the blank surface a contractor or a city authority uses for project signage, safety notices and printed graphics. Because the panels are a standard band height, a run can be extended, shortened or reused on the next contract by re-using posts and panels rather than ordering a new hoarding.

Every hoarding enquiry we receive turns on the same few points: how tall the run must be, what the ground can accept as a fixing, what wind the site is exposed to, and whether the face stays plain or takes printed panels. Tell us those and the site length, and we confirm the post spacing, the panel band height, the finish and the packing as one specification.

• Use: closing a city street, road, drainage or metro works site from the public; long frontages where the hoarding stays up for the contract.
• Post: 220×300×0.9 mm galvanised tube.
• Concealed post behind the face: 80×80×1.0 mm galvanised tube.
• Panel face: 480 mm white panel over 400 mm grey panel.
• Brace: 50×50×0.9 mm square tube.
• Fittings: flange plate and expansion bolts.
• Finish: galvanised steel as the manufacturer publishes it; the panel colours are white and grey, and a printed face is agreed per order.
• Documentation: buyers who need CE / EN / ASTM documentation — tell us the standard and we will confirm in writing what we can supply.
