WHY IT MATTERS
Be seen from the road, long before the turn.
Drivers need to spot your business early enough to slow down and turn in. A pylon or highway sign puts your name up high and close to the road, where it can be seen from much farther away than a wall sign.
For plazas and shared properties, a pylon also gives every tenant a place to be seen. We plan the layout, structure, and lighting so the sign reads quickly and stands up to wind and weather.
THE BASICS
What is a pylon sign?
A pylon sign is a tall, freestanding sign mounted on one or more poles or a solid base, usually placed near a road or entrance. It can show a single business or multiple tenant panels, and it is often illuminated so it stays visible at night.
How a pylon sign is built
Structure
Steel poles or a framework, often wrapped in decorative covers.
Sign Cabinets
Lit or non-lit cabinets that hold the faces and panels.
Tenant Panels
Replaceable faces for each business on the sign.
OPTIONS
Pylon and roadside sign options
Single-Business Pylon
One bold sign for a standalone business, store, or dealership.
Multi-Tenant Pylon
Organized panels for every business in a plaza or office park.
Monument Sign
A lower, ground-level sign on a solid base. A popular alternative where tall signs aren’t allowed.
Pylon Refacing
New faces on an existing structure to update tenants or branding.
MAKE IT YOURS
Designed to read fast and last long.
Rule of thumb
Drivers have only a few seconds to read your sign. Keep it to your name, a short message, and a logo; fewer words means bigger letters.
- Height
- Set by visibility needs and your local sign code.
- Panels
- One main panel or several tenant panels in a clear hierarchy.
- Faces
- Polycarbonate, flex face, or routed aluminum with push-through letters.
- Lighting
- Internal LED illumination or external spotlights.
- Pole Covers
- Decorative covers in colors or textures that match your building.
- Extras
- Address numbers, changeable message areas, or digital displays.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about pylon and highway signs? We’ve got answers.
Still wondering about something? or call 631.727.8311.
How tall can my pylon sign be?
That depends on your town’s zoning and your property. We check the local rules early and design within them.
Can you update the panels on our existing pylon?
Yes. If the structure is sound, refacing is often the fastest and most affordable option.
What is the difference between a pylon and a monument sign?
A pylon is raised on poles to be seen from far away. A monument sits low on a solid base and is often required in areas that limit sign height.
Do pylon signs need engineering?
Larger freestanding signs often do. We coordinate engineered drawings when required.
Can you add tenant panels later?
Yes. We design multi-tenant signs so individual panels can be swapped as tenants change.
