When it comes to making your message unmissable, nothing beats hoardings. A well-designed, strategically-placed hoarding can skyrocket your brand visibility, build trust, and draw attention in high-traffic areas. At Byrav Designs, we believe hoardings remain one of the most potent tools in branding and outdoor advertising—when done right. Let’s explore what makes hoardings impactful, how to use them effectively, and which companies in Singapore are top players in the hoarding and display space.
What Are Hoardings & Why They Matter
A hoarding (also called billboard, site hoarding, or outdoor billboard structure) is a large signage panel placed in public view—on busy roads, around construction sites, shopping mall exteriors or along highways. They serve multiple purposes:
High visibility: Because they are large and outdoors, they are seen by thousands of people daily.
Brand reinforcement: They work 24/7—people driving, walking, or in transit will see them repeatedly.
Targeted impact: Placed in specific locations, hoardings can reach precisely the demographic you want.
Flexibility of design: Materials, creative design, lighting, size—the possibilities are many.
For brands aiming for both long-term visibility and immediate reach, hoardings are unmatched. Byrav Designs helps you conceptualize, design, print, and install hoardings that speak.
Types of Hoardings & Display Options
Here are the common types and variants:
Metal hoarding / construction hoarding – often used around construction zones or redevelopment sites. Robust, durable panels.
Sticker hoardings / vinyl hoardings – weatherproof, vibrant, removable/replaceable. Great for promotional campaigns or temporary branding.
Large format & billboard hoardings – huge panels on highways or tall buildings. Designed for visibility from far.
Vertical hoardings – tall, thin panels measuring height rather than width; visible from multiple vantage points in dense urban areas.
Illuminated / LED hoardings – light up at night, increasing visibility.

FAQs
Q1. How long does a hoarding advertisement stay installed?
Depends on contract and usage: can be temporary (weeks/months) or long term (years). Byrav Designs recommends refreshing artwork every 6-12 months for maximum visual impact.
Q2. Do I need permits or approvals for hoardings in Singapore?
Yes. Depending on location (public roads, sidewalks, building facades), you may need approvals from local authorities or regulatory boards. Vendors like Vicon typically assist with these.
Q3. Which material is best for outdoor hoardings in Singapore climate?
Weatherproof vinyl, galvanized metal panels, UV-stable paints, and corrosion-resistant structures. Byrav recommends materials rated for UV exposure and heavy rainfall.
Q4. How do I decide the best location?
Pick places with high traffic (vehicles/pedestrians), good line of sight, minimal obstructions, and visibility during day/night (if using lights). Spot visibility is key.
Q5. What size works best?
Depends on location. For roadside or highways, large billboards work. For construction sites and temporary fencing, full-fence sized hoardings are more effective. Design must match human viewing distance.
Q6. How much can a hoarding cost in Singapore?
Costs vary a lot. Small site hoardings or sticker hoardings start more affordably; large metal framed hoardings in prime locations cost much more due to material, structure, permit fees and installation.
Q7. How can I measure effectiveness of my hoarding?
Use brand recall surveys, track QR codes or call-to-actions on hoardings, monitor any upticks in store visits or foot traffic in areas near the hoarding, use location-based analytics.
