Telescoping Sign Posts
Why Choose Telescoping Sign Posts?
This freestanding sign solves a specific event challenge: messages need maximum visibility during arrival and wayfinding, but tall signage can obstruct views after the event begins. A push-pin telescoping post changes height quickly, while the weighted base and wheels support repeated deployment.
Extend to 8' or Collapse to 5' 3 Inches
Raise the sign for preshow wayfinding and entrance messaging, then lower it when the event begins. A push-pin adjustment secures the post at the selected operating height.
- 8′ fully extended
- 5′ 3″ collapsed
- Push-pin height adjustment
Fill with Water or Base Gel for Stability
The weather-resistant polyethylene base weighs 30 pounds empty for deployment and reaches approximately 200 pounds when full, creating a stable platform without a permanently installed foundation.
- 30 lbs empty
- Approximately 200 lbs full
- Weather-resistant polyethylene construction
Roll the Sign to Its Next Position
Integrated wheels make the sign easier to move during setup, repositioning and breakdown. The mobility system is built into the base, so a separate dolly is not required for routine placement.
- Integrated transport wheels
- Supports repeated event deployment
- No separate cart needed for routine repositioning
Steel Strength with a Weather-Resistant Shell
A steel inner post provides structural support, while the HDPE outer post, polyethylene base and compatible signage are designed for weather-resistant event use.
- Steel inner post
- HDPE outer post
- Weather-resistant base, post and signage
Choose How the Sign Panel Attaches
The standard hook-and-loop system makes routine panel changes straightforward. A magnetic signage upgrade is available when the application benefits from an alternate removable attachment method.
EZswitch Hook-and-Loop
The standard Velcro-style hook-and-loop mounting method supports fast panel changes as messages and locations change.
StandardMagnetic Signage
Choose the magnetic attachment upgrade when removable magnetic panels better support the venue's signage program.
Optional UpgradeHigh for Arrival. Lower for the Show.
Deploy the sign at full height for pre-event guidance, entrance identification and branding. Collapse it when performances, games or broadcasts begin so necessary signage remains present with less impact on audience sightlines.

- Concert preshow wayfinding
- Stadium and arena signage

- VIP and priority access markers
- Sponsor and event branding
