Floor standing signs A4 and A3 with covered base

Covered Base free-standing floor sign holders

These floor standing poster holders are primarily used indoors but they may be used outside provided that they are brought indoors in windy weather.
The base is as as stable and resistant to rough handling as the Basic base model.

Adjustable tube is fitted with lever clamp to allow height adjustment from 1m up to 1.8m high.  The pole is a push-fit into the base and can be removed for transport and storage.

A3 or A4 size Slim frame can be fitted landscape or portrait. The poster frame can also be exchanged for another size later. The frame has a slot in one short edge so a standard print or laminated sign can be inserted. The frame is supplied with a correx back panel. If this is removed a 3mm thick sign substrate such as foam-board can be inserted in its place.

Backing sheet included
Like all our Slim frames we supply a backing sheet made from stiff twin-wall fluted plastic generically known as correx. The correx backing sheet serves to stiffen up paper or laminated signs - especially valuable outdoors. For double-sided use simply insert a sign each side of the backing sheet.

U-pockets to protect prints indoors 
Available accessories include U-pockets - clear thin gauge plastic sleeves plastic to protect paper posters. Note these do not make the sign waterproof and are normally used without the supplied correx backing sheet.
For use outside or in a humid environment always use a laminated paper sign or a sign insert printed onto weather-proof plastic.

The pole, T-piece and frame colour all match. The base is black (charcoal).

Spare Parts
Components can be purchased separately if spare parts are required.

Covered Base

Thread the cover onto the pole.  Insert the pole into the rubber base (as per above) and then allow the cover to drop down into position. It will cover the majority of the rubber base, will some rough edges may still show.  This cannot be avoided.

HOW TO FIT THE POLE INTO THE BASE

The illustration below shows the four easy steps required to assemble the poster stand

To insert the pole into the base ensure this step is done on firm ground, such as a concrete floor. 
If you have ordered a covered base, the cover should be threaded onto the pole and held out of the way until the pole has been properly secured into the base.

Additional Guidance

Inserting the pole

The pole must be pushed right into the base! Otherwise it will lean or wobble.

1. The pole is a firm push fit into the heavy base (no bolts are required). 
2. First it needs to be introduced a short way into the base (enough to grip).
3. Then lift the pole to raise the base off the ground and bring it down firmly on the floor.
4. Repeat until the pole is securely fixed into the base.

Inserting the frame into the T-piece

The slot in the frame must be at the top or side - never at the bottom! If you insert the frame upside down it will be loose.

1. Remove the corrugated backing sheet.
2. Use firm pressure to 'click' the frame securely into the T-piece. A slight rocking motion may help.
3. Centralise the frame by sliding to engage the central 'pip'.
4. Slide to the corner and rotate to change from portrait to landscape.
5. Rotate the frame all the way round until the slot is at the bottom to remove the frame from the T-piece.
