Easy to push into the ground signs??
I have a customer who has asked me for some signs he can easily push into the ground (by the road side). They are to be 3ft x 2ft sign face with metal spiked legs. They will only be in-situ for 1-2 days over a few months. He wants them to be pushed into the ground, but will hammer them if need be, without damaging the sign whilst hammering. Does anyone know of any metal sign frames which would suit this purpose? Sign face material is still up for discussion.
Cheers

I have made signs this size using 10mm correx and some thick wires with a U bent on the top of them. Then push the wire down through the flutes and into the ground until the U catches on the top. Hope that makes sense!
It’s a cheap and cheerful way for temporary signage….American estate agents seem to use it a lot, you can buy the spikes in signage shops there, never seen them here though. Easy to make though. -
Thanks to you both, food for thought.
Harry I do like the U wire solution.
Roy I will check out the
graphityp site out.Many Thanks

They are used to hold plastic mesh fencing & can usually be purchased from builders merchants etc over here.

They would work Tim, I just used heavy duty ‘bullwire’ (not sure if that is a proper name) and bent it in the vice. Really did work well and a roll of wire goes a long way.
Not that practical in high winds though.
