SIZE & DESIGN QUESTIONS
NEON SIGN SIZE & DESIGN FAQS
What size neon sign do I need?
Measure the wall or furniture behind the sign and choose a sign about 60–75% of that width.
How is a neon sign hung?
Every sign comes free with a wall mount kit (silver standoff screws, wall anchors and cushions) and a ceiling hanging kit, plus a power adapter with a regular US plug. Very big signs can come in pieces that hang next to each other. Our Neon Sign 101: Hanging & Big Signs guide shows every step with real photos.
Can neon signs be used outdoors?
Yes. Choose Outdoor (+$50) when you order and we build your sign for outside use. Indoor signs should stay inside.

It depends on the size, colors and backboard. Signs in our designer start at $213. The dimmer and remote are always free, Outdoor adds $50, and any backboard color other than clear adds $30.
