    Barricade Graphics vs. Hoarding Graphics

    Same product, two names. Both describe printed graphics on the temporary wall that screens a store during construction.

    Same product, two names

    A store under construction sits behind a temporary wall. In the US, that wall is usually called a barricade. In Canada and the UK, it is called hoarding. The printed graphics on it are the same either way.

    Who uses which term

    Barricade: US tenant coordinators, general contractors and retailers.

    Hoarding: Canadian and UK landlords and their operations teams.

    What a landlord submission typically includes

    Whatever the name, a landlord barricade or hoarding submission usually asks for:

    • → An artwork proof
    • → A panel layout showing the wall and doors
    • → A material specification
    • → A Certificate of Insurance (COI)
    • → A requested install window

    Each landlord sets its own requirements, so always check the current tenant criteria.
