Best type of frame ??
Posted by Gordon Forbes on November 2, 2004 at 11:21 pmI have a sign to do outdoors using forrex 8’x1′ and has to be viewed from both sides.
Is panatrim suitable for this or is there another type of fixing material suitable for the job?
any help would be a bonus
Thanks in advance

can you elaborate a little mate…
what i mean is.. where will it be fitted and onto? if veiwed from both sides its obviously gonna have to0 be held at sides or top bottom etc…
ill try help more if youcan give me more info.. cheers in advance 😉 -
Its going on the bottom of a road type sign but fitted in between the two posts I think it will have to be fitted on the top and sides.
I have seen the demo for panatrim but is it good for two way viewing? -
if its a road sign.. ide say use channel, double sided clips and alluminium or rynabond etc
would this be possible or do they want something a bit fancier?
-
Its the same type as a road sign 2 big posts but the frame is galvanised and in between the posts not on the front like a road sign.
I will look into the dibond type and channel to see if i can get anything.Is it specific channel for dibond or off the shelf at metal suppliers?
Thanks

forbie does the sign sorta look like this mate?
this is the sorta fixing i mean and they also come back to back. if it is i can email you details of supplier etc. but you can buy them ready made so just need text applied. -
Fraid not Rob its a home made jobbie and he wants an addition below
The sign ends where your spanner is made from angle iron galvanised locally bin up for 7 years and not a spot of rust on it so I don’t want to drill any of itIts like the corporate signs (on the inside of the 2 poles but welded to the poles)
The additional sign is going below and in between the poles same as the original (web address)

Sorry to but in lads but Rob can I ask for the details of the supplier for the road side signs, as in the picture.
Can you get the fixing channel on the rear of the sign and the u clamp brackets on thier own do you know?
I have two large poles outside my unit and this sort of fixing would be ideal for me to attach my own sign.
Cheers
Bob 😀
