Upright wayside exhibit bases are made of the same materials as low profile bases. They are, however, distinctly different in form and purpose. Designed to stand vertically so that they attract attention, upright waysides typically provide practical information—such as orientation and safety messages—rather than interpretation. They are used at trailheads, boat ramps, parking areas, campgrounds, near visitor centers, and at similar points of assembly or access. Whereas low-profile bases are designed to be unobtrusive and not compete with the resource, upright exhibits are designed to be highly visible, to attract visitors’ attention to important information. Upright exhibit bases can also be configured to accommodate multiple panels (Visitor Information System) front and back.

Upright wayside exhibit bases provide the same Mounting Options as low profile exhibits.

Frame-Only Wall Mount

Panel Sizes:
(LxW, inches): 24x36, 24x48, 36x48

Height:
30 inches (48 wide panel)
36 inches (36 wide panel)

Frame Material: Galvanized Steel, Weathering Steel, Painted Aluminum (NPS Brown/NPS Medium Gray)

In addition to the low-profile mounting options, upright bases can also be mounted to a variety of existing walls. The frame-only mount holds standard UniGuide hardware and can be customized for masonry, wood, or stone walls.

Bulletin Case

Panel Sizes:
(LxW, inches): 24x36, 24x48, 36x48

Height:
30 inches (48 wide panel)
36 inches (36 wide panel)

Leg Material:
Galvanized Steel, Weathering Steel, Painted Aluminum (NPS Brown/NPS Medium Gray)

Visitor information that needs to be presented quickly or changed frequently is best posted on a bulletin board within a bulletin case. Designed to be installed on legs or attached directly to a wall, the standard anodized aluminum NPS bulletin case features a hinged door, a single lock, a magnetic painted-steel display board, and a clear tempered glass front. The bulletin case is constructed to provide maximum protection from climatic conditions and is ventilated to reduce interior condensation.

Cluster Bases

Panel Sizes:
(LxW, inches): 24x36, 24x48, 36x48

Height:
30 inches (48 wide panel)
36 inches (36 wide panel)

Leg Material:
Galvanized Steel, Weathering Steel, Painted Aluminum (NPS Brown/NPS Medium Gray)

When more information must be presented than a single exhibit can accommodate, multiple panels and or bulletin cases can be used. Called a cluster, two or more exhibits can be arranged either in a straight line or at an angle. Cluster bases, because of their shared leg configuration, take up less space, offer a installation advantage over single bases (less holes to dig), and provide a more uniform streamlined appearance.

Kiosk Kit

Panel Sizes:
(LxW, inches): 24x36, 24x48, 36x48

Height:
30 inches (48 wide panel)
36 inches (36 wide panel)

Leg Material:
Galvanized Steel, Weathering Steel, Painted Aluminum (NPS Brown/NPS Medium Gray)

Three-or four-sided upright cluster bases come configured as a bare kit of standard upright base and strapping hardware that can be adapted to a variety of custom post and roof materials. Order just the kit or specify a common list of post and roof combinations. The kiosk is designed to accommodate both information panels and bulletin cases. Assemble on-site or order as a pre assembled unit.
