Real Estate Riders

A sign rider is a smaller sign, typically 24" x 6", that accompanies a larger sign or graphic in a real estate frame, A-frame, or post. Sign riders are usually placed either above or below the larger graphic in the frame (or both – above and below); they can even hang from other post signs. Primarily used in the real estate industry, sign riders are typically used to provide supplemental information to a larger sign, such as: "Under Contract," "Open House," "Just Sold," and so on.

Real Estate Posts, Metal Frames, and A-Frames are the three primary solutions for professionally displaying real estate signage. Posts and Metal Frames are in-ground solutions for grass and soil, while A-Frames can be situated on paved or other surfaces (and can also be used indoors). All three solutions accommodate primary/large signage, but also allow for sign riders for supplemental messaging. Riders are not standalone signage solutions – rather, they help reinforce the primary sign's message.

Riders for our metal real estate frames must measure 24" x 6" to fit within the metal framework; they can be made of aluminum, corrugated plastic, or rigid plastic, and must be less than ½-inch thick.

The standard size for an A-frame rider is also 24" x 6" but since the rider sits above the frame (and is held by a clamp), it could be a custom size; it's typically produced in corrugated plastic, but can be aluminum or rigid plastic, too.

Riders for our posts measure 24" x 6" (small post) and 36" x 6" (large post); they're available in aluminum only.

Sign materials available for sign riders include: aluminum, corrugated plastic, and plastic. All of these rigid materials work well when producing sign riders because they're less than ½-inch thick, which is the maximum thickness that will fit into the frame. More information on these specific materials can be found by visiting their product pages.

Our real estate sign riders measure an industry standard 24" x 6"; assuming you have a standard frame, this means they will work with your current frame, A-frame, or post. If you're unsure if you have a standard frame or post, it's best to measure prior to making your purchase – you can then order the standard sign riders or customize the size of your sign(s) in our design tool as needed.

The rider materials can be up to ½-inch thick max. The thickness of your signs will vary depending on what material you select. Keep in mind that the thickness of the frame itself doesn't change regardless of the sign material type; we don't currently offer alternative frame thicknesses.

Real estate sign riders are specifically designed to be displayed in a real estate frame. If you wish to display sign riders without the frame, we recommend you visit the specific material page (aluminum, corrugated plastic, and plastic, etc.) to order a sign that can be best displayed without the use of a metal frame.

Our standard sizes for real estate sign riders are 24" x 6" and 36" x 6" — the smaller version is sized for our metal frames, A-frames, and small post; while the larger version is sized for our large real estate post. In addition, we do offer riders in custom sizes (aluminum, corrugated plastic, and rigid plastic).
