    Tried Ashby…they don’t do ‘small’ ones. (850 wide)

    Pointed me at their ‘plaza’ range.

    OK, this was from AGES ago – but uploading a photo taken at installation.

    paving cored, poles set in cement and looked good…premium payment for a premium product.

    Sad part was a van reversed into it a week later and destroyed it…

    Looks good Dave, well done mate… what supplier did you get this sign system from in the end?

    I am guessing you will have had a bit of a fickle installation levitating those slabs whilst inserting the poles into adequate depth of concrete?

    The overall finish looks good regardless.

    Personal gripe is the Parking text and arrow.
    It’s too heavy and over powers the company logo above. Even if the customer stipulated this, I would have tried making it grey instead of black as it would have created a secondary feel to it.

    Thanks for taking the time to load your work Dave, much appreciated.

    Ashby AS760 type..

    they did bugger it up a bit – sent me two panels 8mm different in length making it very difficult to set the poles vertically – so one was bowed in the photo (sneaked back one evening as it’s only 5mins from my house to replace it a few days later with one the right size)….overall, the product is pretty good as is the customer service.

    As for the design – this went back and forth to the client at LEAST 6 times and in the end this is what they wanted…and got…they are ‘designers’, so what they want – they get.

    Yes, fun levitating the slabs.

    Cored them in-situ with a 100mm carbide tipped hole saw, lifted them out and dug out to about 15" deep by hand. Very carefully leaving enough of the original sand base at the sides to reposition the slabs back perfectly. Turned out fine.
