Shopjacket Hoardings - What are they used for?

Hoardings are primarily used during construction or refurbishments to create a safe boundary and cover what may be an eyesore on your high street. They can also be used to..

• Provide Engaging Information: The graphics can convey vital information, such as details about the renovations. This example in North Shields included visuals of what was coming, a map of the area, branding and links to further information.

This hoarding in North Shields informed the public about what was coming next.

• Promote your brand, your plan! We can ensure that the design aligns with your overall branding. Logos, taglines, and brand colours should be consistent with other promotional materials for a cohesive identity.

We can simply show your brand, your graphics, on your hoarding.

• Place Making: Incorporating local styles into hoarding design—such as brick textures, street names, windows, and doors—creates visually engaging and contextually relevant spaces. These elements foster a sense of familiarity and pride, reinforcing local identity and community connection. By blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment, such hoardings contribute to placemaking, turning temporary barriers into meaningful urban storytelling.

This hoarding in Armagh echoed the local design style.

• Advertise: Make your hoardings updatable so that they are current. Use them to advertise forthcoming events in your town (we can help you with gaining advertising consent). In this example a gap site hoarding not only covered an eyesore on the high street until a solution was found, but also promoted forthcoming exhibitions at the local gallery.

• Promote Possibilities: If the ideal is for a space to be commercial, show it! This hoarding showed that the space was available for commercial use. It was also used to engage the audience, promoting the Local Authorities 'Pride in our high street' campaign.
