Your campaign’s secret weapon for big-time visibility.
At The Blue Deal, we’re all about helping campaigns and organizations get seen, get support, and win elections—and corrugated road signs are one of our favorite tools for doing just that.
Whether you’ve heard them called barn signs, road signs, or just those big signs you see along highways, they’re the large, eye-catching corrugated plastic signs that show up in high-traffic areas like busy roads, fields, fences, or yes—actual barns. And when it comes to getting your name or message out there in a big way, these signs pack a serious punch.
These signs are all about visibility. They’re usually 4 feet by 4 feet or 4 feet by 8 feet (that’s billboard-sized, for real), and they’re made from the same durable, corrugated plastic as yard signs—just supersized.
We’ve seen campaigns and organizations use them to:
We get this question a lot: How do I actually set these up?
The good news is, there are a few tried-and-true methods:
✅ Wooden Frames: Some people build a simple wooden frame out of 2x4s, then screw or staple the corrugated sign into place. Easy, sturdy, and great for long-term display.
✅ T-Posts or U-Posts: Another option is using heavy-duty T-posts, like the kind used in fencing. You can zip-tie or wire the sign directly to the posts. These are a bit quicker to install and move if needed.
✅ Fences, Barns, and Walls: If you’ve got access to a barn or a big flat wall, you can drill or staple your signs directly in. Just make sure you have permission first—nobody wants to be the campaign that made someone mad with a rogue staple gun.
Bonus tip: Don’t love the idea of drilling into the signs yourself? No problem. We can install metal grommets in the signs to make hanging them even easier—just let us know when you place your order!
Pro tip: If you're using signs near a road, check your local regulations about sign placement. Some counties have restrictions on where signs can go, especially near highways or right-of-ways.
You might be wondering—where am I gonna put all these signs until we’re ready to use them?
Good question.
Corrugated road signs are lightweight but pretty big. A 4x4 sign can easily fit in a standard car or van, but once you start stacking them, they take up some real square footage.
Here’s the general rundown:
We recommend storing them flat and indoors in a dry, somewhat cool area—like a garage, campaign office, or warehouse. Dampness can cause the ink to soften slightly and make signs stick to each other, which can damage the design and make peeling them apart a pain. You’ll also want to avoid extreme heat or sunlight, which could cause warping over time.
If you're organizing for a large team, consider storing frames and hardware separately and bundling complete sign kits by region or volunteer group. Labeling them ahead of time will save a ton of effort when it’s go-time.
Corrugated road signs aren’t just oversized yard signs—they’re a campaign powerhouse. With the right placement, a bold design, and a little prep work, they’ll boost your visibility and reinforce your message all over your district. Whether you’re a candidate, an issue advocacy group, or just trying to make a statement: if you’ve got a field, a fence, or a barn, you’ve got a sign location.
