little lawn type signs
Hi my local council has been in with me asking about signs for a project they are working on, its for the commonwealth games.. they want a sign around A4 or a but bigger by each of 51 trees in a park, my question is whats the best way to fit these? i know you can buy the wee sign panels with stakes already on them but they are easy to pull out thus they will be pulled out and thrown away 🙁 this + the council wanting everthing on the cheap
thanks for any help

Not the cheapest solution but perhaps a low level (wedge shape) sloping memorial stone – with inscription engraved on top sloping surface. Possibly fixed down into a concrete found to resist removal by vandals. Or perhaps an inscribed panel fixed to the sloping surface – not so vandal resistant though.

cheers Neil, i spoke of that to them but they want cheap to start (at least a year) so im thinking about a wee sign that can be pushed into the ground

Having done similar for Armagh Council, the only thing i can say John is dont do cheap,
We initially did ours on a 4×4 wooden post driven into the Ground by 18", You’d think this would be enough, But Every F*UCK3R with a loose shoe lace, stopped and put the foot onto them to tie their laces and loosend them all, kids soon found out that one moved , within three days that were using them as Bats for Cricket !!!!!!!Either Let the council put them up, that way it their responsibility, or do it the proper way , 2ft deep hole, few bags of postcrete and backfill and let them pay for it.

Ian we have the same pain as im working with a Northern Ireland Council, this being Carrickfergus Borough (notoriously tight) ill have to have another meeting with her i think

John, if you speak to her about the problems that Ian has mentioned with Armagh Council then maybe that will persuade them to dig a little deeper or they could allways speak to Armagh Council themselves.
