Why “No Trespassing” / “Keep Out” signage matters
Highly visible “No Trespassing” or “Keep Out” signs play a key role in property protection, safety culture and legal clarity. Our signs help you:
- Deter unauthorised access – clearly mark private property, driveways, construction sites, restricted zones and farm boundaries.
- Support liability protection – as a property owner or site manager, signage shows you have taken practical steps to warn visitors and trespassers.
- Clarify boundaries and restrictions – avoid ambiguity about who is allowed and where.
- Protect staff, visitors and assets – if unauthorised persons enter a zone they shouldn’t, the visible sign helps justify access control.
- Comply with New Zealand legal expectations – the Trespass Act 1980 establishes offences related to trespass after warning, meaning a clear sign and warning can underpin your protections. Legislation New Zealand+1

How to select the right sign
- Define the purpose: Is it deterrence for a driveway? Legal restriction for a hazardous site?
- Choose the correct message: “No Trespassing”, “Keep Out”, “Restricted Area – Authorised Personnel Only”, “Private Property – No Entry”.
- Pick size & material: Outdoor large panel (ACM) for high-visibility; indoor or wall surface – high-tack vinyl.
- Consider placement & visibility: Mount at entrances, gates, poles—visible from ~10 metres in normal conditions is best practice.
- Customise if needed: Add your name, bilingual wording, logo, or specific site instructions.
- Installation & maintenance: Ensure the sign is fixed securely, clean and visible, and check periodically for deterioration (though the 5-year laminate helps longevity).
Compliance & best practice in New Zealand
- Under the Trespass Act 1980, unauthorised entry can become an offence after warning. Clear signage supports your right to issue that warning. Legislation New Zealand+1
- While there is no one national “no trespassing sign” law, using appropriate signage forms part of your duty of care, property protection and Health & Safety site management.
- Good signage is part of demonstrating that you have taken “reasonably practicable steps” to manage access risk in line with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and site safety guidelines.
- In addition to signage, combine with fencing, lighting, access control and monitoring for best deterrent effect.
