Framing Options
Shelley Signs design and supply a wide range of lectern frames, post and bespoke structures in timber and steel for outdoor, external interpretive signs and interpretation panels.
Framing and support structures are a key consideration in any project. The notes below give an outline of our most popular styles of frames with pictures in the banner section above. We also regularly produce bespoke or special design frames – please call if you ned something individual.

- Wooden lectern frames are supplied with wooden picture frames to hold the printed signs securely.

Steel Lectern Frames
Our standard steel lectern frame structure: (a) is mild steel, galvanised or zinc-etched; (b) is powder-coated to an agreed colour for the legs; and (c) has an aluminium picture frame. These produce a robust and attractive lectern structure with excellent colour fastness for the powder-coated finish.
- In addition to the mild steel option, brushed- or powder-coated stainless steel is also available

Recycled Plastic
Lectern frames, vertical frames for external interpretation panels, and park signs can all be produced in recycled plastic. We normally carry a black recycled plastic in stock as this creates an attractive finish.
A0, A1 and A2 landscape-shaped signs are usually supplied with twin legs. A2 portrait and smaller are normally supplied with a single leg.
Wall-Mounted Signs
Depending on the size and required style, wall-mounted signs can be supplied as flat signs, drilled. To create a more elaborate finish, signs can be supplied complete with either an aluminium or timber frame. The aluminium finish will be powder-coated to your agreed finish. The timber finish is supplied in either oak or softwood, and stained or oiled to suit your preferences.
