  • Are these rod systems ok for exterior use?

    Posted by Liam Pattison on August 25, 2010 at 12:05 pm

    Hi,
    i have never seen these type of signs used outdoors. I need to make a directory for an exterior wall and before i suggest this type of thing i just wanted to check to see if anybody had fitted this type of thing outside and how it stood up to the elements. Are there exterior versions of this available?

    Many thanks

    Liam

    Hi Liam

    Don’t see why not as they are usually fully aluminium and/or stanless steel. Just make sure you use stainless screws to fix them up to the wall so nothing can corrode.

    I’d have no hesitation in using it

    Cheers

    Thanks Macky,
    i thought of using the stainless steel option, just wanted to check if there was any other problems i’d overlooked. It’s just i’d never seen them outside and even google imaged it and couldn’t find any examples outdoors. When this happens to me i’ve usually missed something obvious.

    Customer actually wanted the cable/wire option in the first place but i said the rods would probably be better outside.

    Thanks again

    Liam
