Outdoor Bench Includes Custom Signage

Sponsored content by R.J. THOMAS MFG. CO., INC.

The backrest of this steel bench is a changeable sign board that can be used in many different and beneficial ways. Promote a campus event, recognize an academic or athletic achievement, thank a donor or instructor, or promote school spirit and campus programs. The bench serves as an ideal tool to generate revenue by selling the sign space on the back as sponsorships. Do it all with the new Model B400 Sign Bench from R.J. Thomas Mfg. Co.

The best news is, you can change the signage as often as you want. Seasonal signs can be saved and reused again. The backrest sign is a durable .040 gauge aluminum laminate with a ¼-inch polycarbonite core. Your college, university or custom graphic will be digitally printed on 3M vinyl material.

The all-steel bench is powder-coated and thermoplastic-coated in your choice of color. Behind the custom sign is a supporting piece of ¾-inch marine-grade plywood. The backrest includes a lockable frame to secure your custom signage. Three bench and sign sizes are available — 4, 6 or 8 feet long. All signs are 24 inches tall.

R.J. Thomas Mfg. Co. makes the Pilot Rock brand of campus, park and streetscape furniture. Made in the U.S. since 1959, our product line includes many designs of campus outdoor amenities, including park benches, picnic tables, bike racks, trash and recycling receptacles, and ADA-compliant, wheelchair-accessible products.
