  • Fixing sign frame to a fence

    Posted by David Hammond on October 5, 2016 at 11:10 am

    Customer of ours has asked if we can put a sign on their perimeter fence.

    They don’t want a bit of composite riveted to the fence, as it needs to make a good impression, so initial thought is a sign frame?

    Easy enough to produce here, and will look better, is it a case of cladding type screw through the frame into the galvanised fence posts?

    I always prefer to do it with an ACM tray if they don’t want the usual flat panel. We have some on at the minute where we are flood coating face and returns and they look very good.

    Fixed in the usual manner with angle top & bottom?

    With it being a perimeter fence I’m concerned it’s not used as a step help burglar bill climb over the fence.

    your a bit like me David, you over think it mate. nothing wrong in that but these types of scenarios are not your concern as such. your making the sign! :smiles: plus any sort of panel fixed to the fence will act as a step, same as the horizontal bars holding the fence together…

    I prefer a folded pan sign for its clean simple look.
    you could always create a trim and panel style.
    Channel on the rear would keep it flat and stand off look to it.
