Hanging sign advice please

[Stephen Morriss]

Most likely been made for the job, you could get a local fab shop to make one.
try looking for farm/agricultural engineers etc, they tend to be cheaper than engineering shops.

As for boards
Ironsigns can supply moulded or 19mm foam board.

I have also used Tradesignz for 19mm foam board with bonded in attachment points.
I think the foam board is Ok for plain basic signs but the moulded boards would give a cleaner smarter look.

Otherwise as Stephen has said a local fabrication shop will make bracket and a frame for a wood or foam board of any dimensions.

Try Jag Trade Supplies

Their brochure (page 5) also shows ready made signs just like the picture above, but I cannot see them show them on their web site.

Number 08005999059 ring them and ask about the service

Looking at the picture john ide say the projecting bracket could do with a buff down and re-paint. it also has stabilising legs on a projector that is swinging. so no realy wind load. so i would imagine it solid enough. (as i said, just going by the pictures)

if you wanted to give him something in iron that looks that little bit more modern then there is also this option for a ready made one.

yes thanks guys regarding Iron signs i was aware of them but thought their standard brackets werent that big.

Rob thanks for your thoughts – pretty much what I was thinking, we will check the existing metalwork visually and with a bit of a manual shake nothing too technical and if it feels good we will rub down and hammerite before replacing the sign.

Should we get council permissions to erect scaff tower – I guess so, what do you guys do?
