  Record Breaking Sign

  Posted by Gert du Preez on 21 October 2008 at 11:33

  I just came back from a client who ordered the LARGEST FREE STANDING SIGN IN NAMIBIA from us!

  This "little" beauty is 123 x 2,46m ( 400 x 8 ft), consisting of 100 "4×8" chromadek sheets on a square tubing frame structure. The sign is mounted on 41 poles with 82 support poles! Bottom of the sign will be about 2 m above ground level.

  This is to promote the 1,2 Billion dollar housing development of a local businessman. The structure has to be up in 6 weeks time, so tough times ahead!!

  I will keep you posted on how it goes while we are installing ( if there is time!)

  congratulations Gert.

  Be great to see some pictures of the sign in progress.

  1.2Bil development. Obviously not worried about the economic down turn then….

  I reckon if they didn’t bother with the sign they could build another 6 houses with the money! 😛
  Make sure you take pictures as you go.
