Can  notice boards be used outside? this is a question we are often asked. There are several problems using notice boards outside. The main problem with using any notice board outside is the weather. This could be rain getting into the notice board or condensation , both of which will effect the printed matter inside the notice board.  Notice boards specifically made to address these problems will have rubber gaskets in the door frame which totally eliminate this problem. If your budget for a notice board does not run to an external lockable notice board or you already have a notice board another method is to use a standard notice board or poster frame and use weather resistant posters. Most posters printed on large format printers will use water based inks which will simply run if they get wet or damp. Specify solvent or UV inks and you will be OK .

The other thing to consider is the construction of the notice board itself whether it will stand up to the elements outdoors. How will the rain and sun effect the frame. For example plastic frames are OK but may fade if exposed to too much UV light.

You may also need to consider how to protect the content of the notice board. Consider having some sort of lockable notice boards for maximum security.
