  • can anyone help identify building site signage please?

    Hi,

    Fairly new to all this but I’m trying to identify a signage system I saw on a building site yesterday. It was constructed of two metal poles that had a groove cut from top to bottom for the sign panels to slide into.

    The signs themselves were about 10mm thick and looked as though the edges were plated with aluminium. Its probably a common solution but any help on manufacturer/suppliers would be great.

    Thanks
    Martin

    That looks fairly similar, thanks Gary. Is it a universal system or do you think it differs from manufacturer to manufacturer?

    Thanks again

    Be very careful because I don’t think there is such a thing as a universal panel. All the manufacturers seem to make them slightly different so you think you have the right one and then the panel won’t fit.

    Spandex systems are another one to look at as they do a few different ranges. There was a company called sign conex or something like that that use to do quite a lot of systems as well but not sure if they are still on the go.
