Half Roof Protection

Half roof kiosks provide overhead protection for signage while maintaining an open and lightweight structure. This option is commonly used in areas where sun exposure, weather, or long-term sign durability are concerns.

The half roof helps reduce direct UV exposure and weather wear on printed sign panels while keeping the kiosk visually open and easy to install.

Half roofs are often selected for trailheads, staging areas, parks, and public land installations where additional protection is helpful but a full structure is not required.

Typical specifications

• Roof material: 14-gauge steel
• Smooth steel roof panel with welded support brackets
• Roof mounted to kiosk posts
• Covers the sign viewing area

Standard kiosk dimensions

• Post material: 6"x6" steel posts
• Approximate height above ground: ~7.5 ft
• Post embedment depth: ~2 ft in concrete
• Compatible with 36”x46" sign panels

Half roof kiosks are a practical upgrade when projects require additional panel protection without the visual weight or cost of a full roof system.

Full protection

Full roof kiosks provide the highest level of protection for interpretive signage and are commonly used in high-traffic public areas where long-term durability and visibility are priorities.

A full roof helps shield panels from direct sun, rain, and debris while creating a more defined information structure that is easy for visitors to locate.

This configuration is frequently selected for municipal parks, visitor areas, trailheads, OHV staging areas, and venues.

Typical specifications

• Roof material: 14-gauge steel
• Welded steel roof panels with integrated support brackets
• Fully covers signs
• Clean, simple roof profile

Standard kiosk dimensions

• 6"x6" steel posts
• Approximate height above ground: ~7.5 ft
• Post embedment depth: ~2 ft in concrete
• Compatible with 36” x 46" sign panels

Full roof kiosks create a more prominent information structure while providing maximum protection for long-term signage.

Backer Panels

Expanded metal backer panels add additional structure behind the sign area and allow multiple smaller signs to be displayed on a single kiosk. They are commonly used when projects need to display multiple types of information such as:

• Fire warnings
• Seasonal closures
• Safety information
• Maps or regulations
• Partner recognition signage

Backers can also be used as a solid mounting surface for standard 36"x46" signs.

For Canopy Series kiosks, backers are often used as message boards and for smaller signs that need updated separately. Trail signs do not require the expanded metal backers.

Printed Kiosk Sign Panels

Printed sign panels provide a clear and durable way to display maps, rules, educational information, and directional guidance within kiosk systems. Designed to mount directly to Arizona Plasma kiosks using anti-tamper hardware, these panels are commonly used in parks, trails, conservation areas, and public spaces where clear communication and long-term visibility are important. Panels can also include sponsor recognition, helping organizations acknowledge project partners while keeping information organized and easy for visitors to read.

Effective signage improves visitor understanding, supports rule compliance, and helps organizations communicate important information clearly in outdoor environments.

Reusable Install Guides

Arizona Plasma install guides help make kiosk installation simple and consistent in the field. These guides act as templates that ensure posts are spaced correctly and aligned properly before concrete is poured.

The guides are reusable and designed to be used across multiple kiosk installations, helping crews install structures faster and with greater accuracy.

By removing guesswork from post placement, install guides help projects stay organized, efficient, and easy to complete on-site.

Anti-Tamper Bolt Sets

Our anti-tamper bolt sets provide a secure way to mount sign panels to kiosk structures. Each set includes six stainless steel bolts, matching nuts, and rubber washers to help protect the sign surface during installation. An anti-tamper driver bit is also included, allowing installers to tighten the hardware and prevent unauthorized removal. These bolt sets are designed for reliable installation in parks, trails, and public spaces where signage needs to remain securely in place.
