Two Side-Mounted Wood Posts with Bottom Cross-Beam, for Large Signs

Two Side-Mounted Wood Posts with Bottom Cross-Beam,  for Large Signs

This section shows sign supports for large wide signs, with wood side posts and bottom horizontal wood beams that help  support  the sign . These side-mounted post supports are often used for double-faced signs, so that both the front and the back of the sign can be viewed.  Large HDU signs, 6 ft or wider, often  need to be supported with an internal or perimeter steel frame, or  a bottom horizontal beam , such as shown in this section, but wood signs usually do not need this support.  A bottom or top horizontal board or beam is sometimes  used for decorative purposes, even though it is not necessary to provide structural support. 

We often install steel flat bars on both side edges of a sign to allow easy mounting of the sign on the posts. These flat bars  extend above and below the sign on both sides, and are painted the same color as the posts.  The top and bottom  extensions of  flat bars are attached to the posts with long wood screws  or carriage bolts.

The top of the posts often have finials for a more elegant  look. The posts is inserted into a 2 ft deep hole in the ground, which is filled with concrete, rocks, or dirt. 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.
