House to let sign advise
Afternoon
this is going to sound so easy but never made one before…
Customer has asked for a house for sale sign, correc board is easy to make, but he wants the wooden pillar as well…
What is the best wood and size to use as the pillar?
How would i make a split in the middle to allow the correx to sit in the middle of the pillar
and how can i make it stick in the ground, is there some sort of support needed so it stays firm in the gound
any advise would be great as ive never done one before and yet i dont want it to look cheap
Ill let you all laugh
cheers

there are a number of ways of doing it…………. some 2 x 4 for the posts, and if you have a router you can route out a line for the corro to sit in on each side of the posts. you can also use small brackets screwed in to the posts to allow the corro to sit into too. you can get brackets that sit into the ground that the 2 x 4 will sit in, or you can use concrete if its more of a permanent sign.

Length of 2×2 from a timber yard, cut to length, cut a slot at one end for the correx board to sit in, cut a point on the other end job done. You can paint it if you want I know some people do.
Once the correx board has been slipped in place a couple of 1 1/2 screws will keep it in place and make sure the post doesn’t break where you have cut the slot. -
6ft length of 2×2 inch timber.
saw a small V-point on one end.
2x2ft of correx, flutes running horizontal.
cut vinyl each side.
an off-cut of dibond strip. 2inch by 24inch
sandwhich the correx against one side of the post and the strip of dibond.
screw threw the dibond into the wood to firmly grip the correx between.
job done.theres a whole series of ways to make for sale type signs. ive just given a very quick basic way above without the need for power tools etc
at the end of the day the domestic household wants to pay buttons for this so do not spend any real time on it.

we use regular 2 x 2 for cheaper estate agent signage and the 2 x 4 for the commercial larger type estate agent stuff. i didn’t know if you wanted ideas for the standard signs or the bigger commercial stuff, but see advise from all above.
