    Hello,

    We have to put a 1m x700mm sign on to school fencing, the old galvinised traditional fences.

    Sign is dibond and we are looking for a simple way to attache client does not want anything to be visual from the front.

    Any ideas.

    Cheers

    John

    I would counter sink bolts in the face and cover with a dot of vinyl. It would be sturdy. bolt through whatever you want in the back.

    I’ve screwed into the edges of alumilite (i think it’s similar to dibond)… with long , thin sheetmetal screws.

    I’ve also screwed into only the back with very short screws, but doing this, i used a lot of screws.

    Just use the channeling as used on road signs but use some flat bar with holes drilled at intervals for the bolts to come through, thus clamping the fence between the channel and the bar.

    I’d do it Daves way myself. However you do it, you must have a situation where the bolts are not in a position to cut someone.

    Sound obvious … sorry, I’ll go now…..
