Private Property No Trespassers Sign in Manchester

Behind most high street shops there is a yard: bins, a fire exit, a parking space for the owner, a roller shutter. When the shop shuts, the yard becomes somewhere for others to use.

A rear yard in Bury, Greater Manchester

Take a shop off a main street in Bury town centre with a gated yard onto a back lane. The gate is open during deliveries, and in the evening people cut through, park, or leave fly-tipped bags. An A2 sign on the gate pier facing the lane, at eye level, and an A3 on the fire exit door from outside set a clear boundary. Close the gate when you can; the sign explains why it is closed.

The mistake

Putting up a sign and nothing else. A no trespassers notice on an open, unlit yard with no gate does little. Combine it with a gate, lighting, and where you have it, a CCTV notice from our CCTV signs range.

Board and size

Dibond at 3mm is the long-term board for a gate pier or brick wall. Correx works for a vacant plot awaiting development. Foamex is fine on a sheltered door. A3 reads from roughly 12 m, enough for a back lane.
