Clearance bars for drive-thrus and canopies
Carry a consistent appearance across locations while keeping each site's dimensions and wording explicit.
Where to start
6" Standard. Reads clearly at drive-thru speed without crowding the lane. The builder preselects it; you can change it.
Take two measurements
- Opening width — the narrowest point between the walls or posts the bar spans. We cut the bar to leave 6" clear on each side.
- Lowest overhead point — from the driving surface to the lowest beam, pipe, sprinkler, sign or door track. We post a clearance 3" under it; the bar hangs with its bottom at that height. For example, a lowest point of 9' 3" prints CLEARANCE 9' 0".
Prepare a specification you can approve
- Confirm the required message for this location rather than copying another site's height.
- Choose finish and lettering from the supported options.
- Send the specification for approval before committing to production.
A suspended clearance bar provides a visible warning. It does not determine a safe clearance height or certify an installation. Review your site's requirements with the responsible professional.
