Pylon & Pole Signs

When you need to be seen from a distance, height wins. Pylon and pole signs lift your brand above the traffic and the tree line — ideal for shopping centers, dealerships, and multi-tenant sites.

Why go tall

Some locations only work if you can be seen from far off.

  1. High visibility. Height lifts your brand above traffic, signage clutter, and landscaping at commercial and retail sites.
  2. Room for tenants. Pylons stack multiple businesses on one high-impact structure.
  3. Engineered & permitted. Tall signs need structural engineering and permits — we handle both.

Common questions

What’s the difference between a pylon and a pole sign?
Both elevate your sign; a pole sign sits on one or two exposed poles, while a pylon has a wider, often enclosed base for a more finished, substantial look.
How tall can a pylon sign be?
It depends on your city’s code and your site; we design to the maximum allowable height and handle the permitting and structural engineering.
Can multiple businesses share one pylon?
Yes — multi-tenant pylons stack tenant panels so each business gets clear, separate visibility on one structure.
Do pylon signs need special engineering?
Yes — tall signs require structural and foundation engineering to handle wind loads. We manage the engineering and permits as part of the project.
Can a pylon include a digital message board?
Yes — we can integrate an EMC into a pylon so you can promote directly from the roadside.
