Two or Three Back-Mounted Wood Posts for Large Signs

Two or Three Back-Mounted Wood Posts for Large Signs

These section shows   wood side posts mounted in back of a sign.  Back-mounted post supports are often  used for single-faced signs ( double-faced signs require side-mounted posts because back-mounted posts obscures the back face of the sign).  Because the posts are closer to the center of the sign (typical inward a distance 20% of the sign width) , the sign back-mounted  signs usually do not  need to be supported with a bottom horizontal beam or internal steel frame. A third  post can be placed in the middle of at the back of the sign to provide additional support..

Because the top of the posts are usually hidden by the front of the sign, the top of the posts usually do not have finials. The posts is inserted into a 2 ft deep hole in the ground, which is filled with concrete. The bottoms of the posts are treated with a wood preservative. The wood posts are painted with a wood primer and a top coat using a long-lasting wood enamel, usually in a color to match the border of the sign. Natural redwood or Cedar wood posts can alternatively be stained and varnished. 

The sign can be attached to the postsw with round-head screws or bolts through the front face of the sign (with heads painted to match the sign's background) , or with 4 aluminum 2" wide L-brackets  (mounted on the top and bottom, both sides of sign) which connect the back of the sign  to the sides of each post (these are not visible from the front of the sign). We can provide  this installation hardware with the posts. or if you buy both  sign and the posts, we can pre-drill holes in the sign and the post for easy installation.
