Table of Contents

Introduction:

As experts in providing notice boards, we know how essential it is to build community spirit and share vital information outdoors. But with so many choices out there, picking the right outdoor notice board can feel overwhelming.

That's why we've put together a list of the top 9 features to look for when choosing an outdoor notice board. By thinking about these factors, you can be sure you're getting a high-quality, useful, and long-lasting solution for your community or organisation.

1. Durability:

Think about how tough the notice board needs to be. It's going outside, so it has to handle rain, snow, and hot or cold weather. Look for materials that won't rust or fade, and a strong locking system to keep it safe from damage or tampering.

Tip: Opt for materials resistant to rust and fading for long-lasting durability.

2. Visibility:

If no one can see what's on the notice board, it's not much use! Choose a size and location that make it easy for people to see and read the notices.

Tip: Consider adding lighting or reflective materials to improve visibility, especially at night.

3. Ease of Use:

Keep it simple! A notice board that's easy to use means people are more likely to use it. Look for designs with straightforward and consider including instructions for those who need them.

Tip: Look for snap-shut or gas-assisted locking systems for effortless opening and closing.

4. Customisation:

Every community is different. That's why we offer a range of notice boards in various sizes, shapes, and designs. Find one that suits your specific needs.

Tip: Explore options for custom sizes, shapes, and designs to make your notice board stand out.

5. Accessibility:

Make sure everyone can access the notice board, including those with disabilities. Consult your local community for accessibility requirements and recommendations.

Tip: Choose a location with ample space for wheelchair users and consider the height and layout carefully.

6. Security:

Keep your notices safe from tampering or damage with a secure locking system. You can also add remote monitoring to keep an eye on things.

Tip: Prioritise security features to protect notices from tampering or vandalism.

7. Sustainability:

We care about the environment. That's why we use eco-friendly materials whenever possible and offer energy-efficient options. Opt for eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient options to minimise environmental impact.

Tip: Check for certifications or eco-labels to ensure the notice board meets sustainability standards.

8. Cost-effectiveness:

We know price matters. That's why we offer a range of options to suit different budgets, all designed to last and require minimal maintenance.

Tip: Look for options with bulk buy discounts and consider total cost of ownership over the lifespan of the notice board.

9. Maintenance:

Choose a notice board that's easy to look after. Less time spent cleaning or repairing means more time for important things. And don't forget to check the availability of replacement parts and customer support.

Tip: Regularly inspect and clean the notice board to ensure it stays in optimal condition and address any issues promptly.
