A structurally engineered, bespoke-made steel or aluminium support structure for securely fixing larger LED walls to a facade, a pole or a roof. Every project is based on a free site survey and a wind load calculation, so that the structure meets the local weather and structural requirements. For outdoor LED boards and advertising walls left permanently in place, this is the single most important safety element. We support the installer from order to handover with full design, structural documentation and manufacture.
LED wall support structure (bespoke)
An LED wall support structure is in every case a bespoke design, produced on the basis of the specific location, the weight and size of the panel, and the local wind load data. Its purpose is to fix a larger, permanently sited LED board or advertising wall safely and in a structurally sound way to a facade, a support pole or a roof structure. During design we also take account of wind load, snow accumulation and the load-bearing capacity of the building or support pole, so that the finished structure meets every requirement. Manufacture is in steel or aluminium, with the material chosen according to the survey and the requirement, in a corrosion-protected build.

Why an off-the-shelf mounting frame is not enough on larger outdoor LED walls
While a standard stand or frame may be adequate for a smaller indoor promotional wall, for a larger, permanently sited LED board or facade advertising wall the support structure becomes a structural engineering question. On a large, flat board the wind load can exert a significant horizontal force, which the support structure and the fixing points have to withstand safely without endangering the building's structure or the board's display surface itself. Snow, ice and long-term UV load are further factors that an off-the-shelf frame not specific to the site may not handle adequately. That is exactly why we produce the support structure for every larger outdoor LED wall to a bespoke design, with a site survey and a wind load calculation, so that the result is not only good-looking but a safe, structurally demonstrable solution over the long term, meeting the requirements of the building authority and the insurer alike.
The steps of design and manufacture
The work always begins with a free site survey, in which we record the condition of the available fixing surface, the planned size and weight of the board, and the local wind and snow load data. That is followed by the structural calculation, which determines the material thickness required, the layout of the support elements and the number of fixing points, so that the structure meets every prescribed load case. Manufacture is to bespoke dimensions, in steel or aluminium, with corrosion protection appropriate to the site, since weather resistance is critical for structures going onto a facade, a pole or a roof. We hand over the finished support structure with proper documentation that includes the result of the structural calculation, which makes any official consent process easier and helps the installer during the work on site.
Consents and regulatory compliance
For a larger LED board going into public space or onto a facade, a townscape notification or a building permit is typically required, and the structural documentation is indispensable supporting material for that. Because we design the support structure and provide the accompanying calculation ourselves, the installer or the client is not left alone in the consent process — we supply the necessary technical background. This kind of comprehensive, single-source handling (survey, design, manufacture, documentation) significantly reduces the risk that an installation will run into a regulatory problem after the event.
Typical applications
LED wall support structure (bespoke) — frequently asked questions
Is a site survey always needed for the support structure?
Yes — since the structure is a bespoke design, the free site survey is indispensable for accurate sizing and the structural calculation.
Do I get structural documentation with the structure?
Yes, we supply a structural calculation with the finished support structure, which makes official consent and the installation work easier.
What material is the support structure made from?
We manufacture it from steel or aluminium based on the survey and the requirements, in a corrosion-protected build in either case.
Is consent needed to install the support structure?
For placement in public space or on a facade, typically yes; we help with that through the structural documentation and advice, and the specific steps depend on the location and the size.
How long do design and manufacture take?
After the site survey, the time needed for the structural calculation and the bespoke manufacture depends on the size of the project; we give an exact deadline after the survey.
Does it stand up to winter snow loads and windstorms?
Yes — the design is built specifically on the local wind and snow load data, so the structure is engineered for those cases.
