Outdoor Lecterns & Interpretation Boards

Our traditional, modern and eco-friendly outdoor lecterns are perfect for displaying information in public spaces.  Also know as interpretation boards, an outdoor lectern is available in three materials. Choose from oak, recycled plastic or aluminium.

By choosing us we can create a beautiful layout using images and text that you supply. Or supply us with print ready artwork for a quick and efficient turnaround. We use high pressure laminate prints in all our outdoor lecterns. This provides vivid colours and sharp images. Achievable as we print direct onto an aluminium sheet. Once the print has been baked and laminated it’s UV stable and cleanable with harsh chemicals.

How to buy and outdoor lectern or interpretation board

Can I buy an outdoor lectern or interpretation board without artwork

Yes, in this instance we recommend requesting a quotation for the lectern as there will be a small saving in the purchase cost.

What’s the difference between an outdoor lectern and an interpretation board?

The phrase “outdoor lectern” and “outdoor interpretation board” are quite interchangeable and are similar items. They both contain a printed display with information about the local area. However, a lectern display contains the artwork at an angle of 45 degrees so that you can look over it while reading. Whereas the interpretation board can be at 45 degrees or vertical on posts or a wall.

Also, when we refer to an “interpretation panel”, we are talking about the printed artwork only.

Do your outdoor lecterns have perspex covers?

No. Unfortunately the Perspex cover is likely to trap condensation. Instead, we use toughened prints which have a clear plastic coating baked over the artwork for the scratch resistance and to bring out the print colours.

What’s the artwork printed on?

Our interpretation display panels are a 3mm solid piece of aluminium. We use solid aluminium instead of aluminium composite board, because it needs pass through an industrial oven at 200℃ without distorting or melting to bake the printed artwork on and add the scratch resistant coating.

Is the artwork interchangeable?

Yes. The printed artwork is changeable on all our outdoor lecterns and interpretation boards. But if you plan on changing it frequently, we recommend using the aluminium lectern, as its design allows for a quick and easy swap.

Can you create the artwork for us?

Yes, we offer an in-house design service to transform your text and imagery in to stunning layouts.

Portrait or Landscape Interpretation Panel?

Your outdoor lectern or interpretation board can be either landscape or portrait. It doesn’t change the price. Just let us know which layout you require when ordering.
