Private Property Signs
Private Property Signs are blue rigid plastic information signs used to show that land, entrances or access points are privately owned. They help you guide visitors, delivery drivers, contractors and the public before they enter areas where permission is required.
Where Private Property Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install these signs at gates, driveways, perimeter fences, yard entrances, private parking areas and building approaches where people may be unsure whether access is permitted. Clear sightlines help the message work before someone crosses the boundary.
Viewing Distance Guide for Private Property Signs
Place the sign where the blue background and white text can be read before entry. For narrow paths, 2–4 metres is usually enough; for vehicle gates, allow around 5–8 metres so drivers can slow down and understand the boundary.
| Size | Best viewing use | Typical readable range |
|---|---|---|
| H 250 x W 350mm | Gates, fences, doors and yard access points | Approx. 2–8 metres |
What Improves Once the Boundary Is Clearly Shown
Once fitted, the sign gives people a clear visual instruction before they enter. It helps reduce mistaken access, supports calmer conversations at property boundaries and makes private entrances easier to manage day to day.

Useful private property sign choices to compare
For clearer boundary wording, choose private property no trespassing portrait signs where you need a direct message on gates, fences or entrances. A good choice when vertical fixing space suits the site layout.
Where a wider fixing point is available, landscape no trespassing allowed signs help the warning stand out across access points. Useful for entrances, walls and longer fence runs.
If vehicles are using your access as a shortcut, add private drive no thru traffic signs to discourage unnecessary vehicle movement. Ideal for driveways, estates and private access roads.
For parking control on private land, compare no parking private property signs where vehicles should not stop or obstruct access. Helpful near entrances, bays and private forecourts.
To compare the wider range, view private property signage for access control and choose wording that matches the behaviour you need to prevent. Useful when you want consistent notices across a site.
