    A stunning job, bet the client was delighted and will even be paying on time?

    Looks great Craig, just interested to know a couple of things –

    1) What kind of frame did you use, is it an off the shelf product ?
    2) How did you mount the frame/neon where it protrudes above the top of the cladding ?

    Thanks for showing us anyway 🙂

    thanks for the comments guys

    The sign is fitted to a welded steel subframe which is then bolted to 3 main support brackets which provide a fixing point above the roof line. It was a little awkward because the brackets had to be fixed to the structural steel behind the cladding. The s/steel trims are just folded angles to finish the edge and hide the brackets behind. The neon is fitted to these trims.

    Regarding paying on time, surely that would be expecting far too much.
