Desi Signs — custom signs made in Edmonton. Design, manufacture, and install.

Pylon Signs

Tall enough
to claim the pad.

A pylon is a pole-mounted cabinet that holds one tenant or a stack of them. Height, wind, and the city conversation come before the faces.

Pylons are for sites that disappear behind a parking lot or a row of other pads. The structure is engineered for Edmonton wind. The faces are the part you can refresh.

We spec single-pole, twin-pole, and multi-tenant cabinets from the same shop that hangs the letters. Power, footing, and landlord height caps are in the quote — not a surprise on lift day.

What we build

Single-tenant pylons, stacked plaza directories, and LED-ready cabinets with replaceable faces.

Who it is for

Retail pads, plazas, fuel sites, and highway-visible commercial that a fascia letter cannot reach.

How we spec it

Height follows the sightline and the permit. Face size follows the fastest traffic that has to read it.

Variants

How we
build it.

Single tenant

One identity, one cabinet, one power run. Cleaner than a directory when you own the pad.

Multi-tenant

Stacked faces with a shared structure. Tenants change without rebuilding the pole.

Lit cabinet

Even LED, replaceable acrylic. The name still works after dark.

Footing & permit

The hole, the steel, and the city package are part of the job — not a second contractor.

Where It Works

Edmonton jobs
this product fits.

Plaza frontage

When the buildings sit back from the curb and the letters on the fascia never make the road.

Pad sites

Restaurants and retail on arterial corners that compete with other pylons already on the strip.

Highway reads

Larger faces and tighter copy. You get a few seconds, not a stroll.

Tenant turnover

A directory you can reskin without a new structure every lease.
