Garage Sale Signs Checklist

Better signs mean better traffic. Use this simple checklist for readable garage sale signs and placement.

What to put on the sign

  • Big arrows: use a thick marker and keep the direction consistent.
  • Start time: include the end time too if you have one.
  • 1 to 2 keywords: for example TOOLS, BABY, or FURNITURE.
  • No clutter: skip the full address if arrows are clear.

Placement tips

  • Place signs at major turns and decision points.
  • Keep signs low enough to read but high enough to see.
  • Use the same color scheme for every sign so the route is recognizable.
  • Bring extras for windy areas.
