Solid hoarding panel in a RAL colour

The solid hoarding panel in a RAL colour is the same 2.3 m trapezoidal sheet panel, finished in a colour from the RAL range.

Structurally the panel is no different from the standard version — what changes is the surface finish. Choosing a colour from the RAL range lets the hoarding match the contractor's identity or the setting of the project, instead of leaving bare sheet.

When colour matters

Site hoarding stands for months in a visible place and is the largest advertising surface a contractor has on site. On prestige developments, public projects and in city centres it is also sometimes required that the enclosure fits its surroundings rather than contrasting with them.

• builds in city centres and conservation areas
• hoarding carrying full contractor branding
• sites where the enclosure is part of the image

Practical consequences

A painted panel calls for more care in handling and transport: scuffs and scratches show far more than on bare sheet. Where hoarding is intended for repeated use, assume the coating will need refreshing sooner than the structure itself.
