Jason, can’t see anything wrong with it either, is this a re-cycling company? If it is do you not have a recognised re-cycling logo you could have added to make people aware?
How is it fixed to the fence Jason, my only concern is that the fence doesn’t look that heavy duty and that board will increase the wind loading on it quite a bit.

Chain wire fences here Martin. Common as dirt. Pretty standard fitting for a sign in an industrial area round these parts..

You don’t get to many problems with wind then Shane.
Not you personally, I mean the weather :lol1:

If it is a windy area, I secure my signs every 200mm with cable ties. I probably would not have used dibond in this situation without reinforcing the holes, but that is personal choice. Jason may have done that too. The composite aluminium products are a bit soft without reinforced holes though, especially if you use wire or similar.
The best part about composite ally is it is rigid. I may have used weathertex a few years ago, but it is very heavy, and pulls on the chain wire, and .8mm signwhite steel @ 3m in length tends to sag in the middle because it is so thin. Dibond is the perfect material for the fence in that sense, but better with reinforced holes.

Hey guys,
This is a company that produces bio diesel from cooking oil. They collect and process cooking oil. I didn’t create the logo it was already done. As for putting it up I use heavy duty cable ties. I space them out about 50 cm and I make my holes over an inch in from the edge. I used to use cable ties and then use wire in case someone wanted to pinch it but found this was overkill and would scratch the hell out of my forearms.
If I think wind will be a major issue I might try and run a bolt through the four corners and make some sort of a big washer to sandwich the sign to the fence. At least it will take the stress off the sign being pulled down.
Cheers

Would’nt cable ties become brittle in the sun? I have worked on lightboxes where the cable ties used to tie the electrical wire to the pole was so brittle you could twist them off by hand! (The insulation on the wire was still soft and pliable) To my best reckoning the cable ties were exposed to elements about 2 – 3 years.

Hey GERT DU PREEZ,
I use UV resistant cable ties. I’ve gone to see a job that has been up for 4 years and the cable ties are fine. I couldn’t get them off by hand. If I was putting up colorbond sheets I wouldn’t just use cable ties. The colorbond might cut through the cable tie.
Cheers
Jason
