How would you make this simple construction?

[Alistair Richards]

I’d rout a channel in the posts on a router table, or with a hand held machine, square off the ends with a sharp chisel, and then insert the panels when installing the posts. 😀

Thanks for the reply Alistair!
I think that is a good option, but not what I am looking for, it is to much work and it doesn’t hide the posts completely.

Anyone using glue for stuff like this?

Thanks again.

I would bond aluminium angle to the rear of the fascias either full depth or 2 or 3 brackets, dependind on the size, running vertical, and then screw the angle to the wooden posts, You could use vhb tape, or two pack like araldite

That’s sounds like a good solution Peter, thank you.
Do you mean L-shaped aluminium extrusions, like what I have drawn with red? If not, do you think this would also work?

The panels will be 150 cm x 120 cm.

To make it a bit more complicated I also have to supply a fullcolour panel for on the wall near the entrance, would this be possible to do this like they do with routed letters – just use standoffs? This board will be 60x40cm.

I was always more in the business of displays and exhibits and if I sold a sign for on a companyfront I always screwed things on though the front, always leaving that "this in not finished feeling".
Thanks again for the help guys!

Thats it exactlly JJ
6mm is quite rigid but if using say 3mm plate I would add an horizontal cross bar or 2 to make the whole thing solid.

The wall plate could be attached with stand-offs.
but you could also lookat these type of fixings as an alternative for a nice finish.
