Freestanding Signs

Be Seen From the Road

Pole & Monument Signs That Catch Attention Before Customers Reach Your Door

Freestanding signs work harder than building signs. They grab attention from the road, guide first-time visitors, and create a landmark for your business.

Pole Signs: Maximum Visibility

Pole signs lift your message high where everyone can see it. They work especially well when:

  • Your building sits far from the road
  • Nearby businesses or landscaping block views
  • You need to be spotted from far away

Why Choose a Pole Sign?

They're Visible From a Distance

Customers can see pole signs from hundreds of feet away, giving them time to decide to visit.

They Work for Multiple Businesses

One pole sign can display several businesses clearly, perfect for plazas and office parks.

They Stay Visible After Dark

Illuminated pole signs keep working when the sun goes down.

They Can Be Customized for Your Location

We adjust height and size based on your specific site needs and local regulations.

Monument Signs: Professional Ground-Level Presence

Monument signs create a solid, permanent landmark at the entrance to your property. They’re substantial structures that instantly elevate the professionalism of your location.

Why Choose a Monument Sign?

They Enhance Your Property's Appearance

Monument signs can match your building's style using materials like brick, stone, metal, or modern acrylics.

They Organize Multiple Information Types

They can clearly display your name, logo, address, and even directional information in one structure.

They Create Landscaping Opportunities

The area around a monument sign can be landscaped to further enhance your entrance.

They Project Stability and Permanence

Their substantial nature communicates that your business is established and here to stay.

"Had a great experience working with Knox signs for our business. Both of our signs have turned out great and Erik has been easy to communicate with. We had one issue and the team quickly resolved it for us. Quality work!"

Freestanding signs face more challenges than building signs. Ours are engineered for Kansas conditions:

Strong Foundations

We design proper foundations based on your soil conditions and sign size to prevent leaning or movement.

Kansas weather demands signs built for high winds. We calculate exactly what your sign needs to stay secure.

Materials That Last Outdoors

Exposed to weather from all sides, our signs use materials specifically chosen for outdoor durability.

Proper Water Drainage

We prevent water damage through proper drainage design, especially important for monument signs.
