Points to consider when mounting signs to posts:
- There are a variety of post types available for mounting signs. The most common type of post used
for mounting signs is a u-channel post (pictured below). Before buying posts online, we suggest
that you check around locally to determine their availability. We make this suggestion simply
because it is very expensive to ship posts. Obtaining them locally will save you a considerable
amount of money. Check with local hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depots and fence companies.
- The signs featured on this site are prepunched. You can use a 5/16th inch bolt to mount them.
Such bolts are available in hardware stores. The bolts and nuts pictured below are vandal
resistant. We offer this hardware for those who believe sign theft may be a problem. It is not
necessary to purchase this hardware to mount our signs.
- When purchasing posts, keep in mind that some of the post will be underground. The longer the
post, the more that needs to be in the ground. Soil conditions also play a role with post depth. You
need to put more of your post into the ground if the conditions are sandy; less if dense.
- BE CAREFUL! Most states have a "One Call Center". These are utility clearing houses that notify
utilities to check a location to make sure that there isn't an underground line that could be damaged
or cause harm if punctured. Check with your locality before installing a post .
