Prohibition sign - red circle and bar
No Trespassing signs
A no trespassing sign tells visitors that your land or property is private. In the UK the more common wording is "Private property", so we include both. Download a prohibition sign with a red ring and bar, or a bold text sign in red, yellow or black and white. Each is a PDF in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape. We do not add threats or penalty wording, because the rules on trespass vary by nation. Print at actual size and use a rigid, weatherproof sign for permanent outdoor use.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Field gates, farm tracks and yards
- Gardens and private drives
- Empty buildings and storage compounds
- Back entrances and loading areas
- Allotments and private car parks
Questions
Is trespass a crime in the UK?
Generally trespass on land is a civil matter in England and Wales, with some criminal exceptions. Scotland differs and has wider public access rights. Please check the rules for where you are.
Why does your sign not include a warning about consequences?
We avoid claims about the law. What can happen to someone who enters depends on what they do and where, so the sign simply says the land is private.
Do I need a sign for a trespass claim?
We cannot give legal advice. A sign helps make your position clear but does not replace other measures.
Will paper signs survive the weather?
Not long. Laminate, or buy a rigid or aluminium sign for permanent use.
