    LOL, we done a massive sign too, but because they were screwed onto a building 30ft in the air you can not see how big they really are until you stand next to them. Nice work though mate 😀

    😮 Is it braced from behind, or in deep concrete?

    Well done

    I would need a drink after putting a sign up like that.

    The sign is made from ali trays on an ali frame bolted on 4 inch steel poles.
    The sign is double sided with LEDs inside which are changed by a computer which you plug into the bottom.
    The frame was bolted on then lifted in place with a hi-ab, then scaffold up and on with the face.
    Nice when it was finished

    Maybe it’s the other way round.
    Perhaps Hammy is really hampster size and the board is really 12″ by 18″. might be how he got his name.
