How to sign “Walls” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Walls” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into flat B handshapes, fingers together and pointing straight up.
- Hold both hands in front of your chest with the upright fingertips nearly touching at the center.
- Move the two hands outward to opposite sides, opening a wide flat span like a wall rising.
- Keep the palms facing forward, away from your body, for the whole outward movement.
- Hold a neutral expression and keep the hands at chest height; the sign simply depicts the flat surface.
