Dibond Pylon Sign
Hey guys,
I’ve always wanted to build a pylon sign so I am going to build one for myself.
The dimensions I am thinking are 1-1.2 metres wide and the height to be 2.4-3metres tall.
I was going to weld the frame out of steel.
My questions are as follows.
When I route the dibond to create the fold how do I fix it to the steel on the sides so it appears seamless or no screws? VHB Tape? Should I fill the gap between the dibond panels with a sealant?
With the frame how many horizontal supports should I weld in to help with wind load.
How should I fix it into the ground? Concrete the frame straight into the ground? Weld plates and dynabolt it into a concrete slab? And then fix my dibond panels to the frame?

Hi Jason
not sure I can answer any of your questions. but Steve godson a sign writer
on the south side of Bris. Had to get full council permission with constructional plans from an engineer, pay all appropriate fees and register the pylon with council then attach the supplied number to pylon.

We made this one using 2 trays and aluminium posts hidden behind 😀
just under 3M high.
Although aluminium it could work the same with composite…maybe

Hey Andrew,
How deep did the posts go into the ground and did you have cross braces supporting the trays? Or just the posts? Did you pop rivet, screw or vhb the panels to the posts?

Hi Jason….because of the location the posts were in 900mm and we used angle old iron [from ashby packaging] to make a wee frame between the posts, this allowed the structure to be moved and set in one piece…
Cheers
Andrew 😀
