    Hi All

    Looking for some ideas please.

    I need to make small signs to hammer in to the ground, about 600mm high with a small plate with a number on it to indicate which flat’s parking it is.

    A rough drawing attached but need some ideas of materials and manufacturing.

    I know it’s a simple one but thought I would see if anybody had some bright ideas.

    Thanks

    Warren

    if you have a grafityp brochure they do a product called stikit signs.
    I cant find them on their website, but they may be what you are looking for? Not a 100% vandal proof though

    Why don’t you just rivet it to a 25mm box square or right angle aluminium –
    we used to fit them all the time like this.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Mark

    That sounds like a quick, simple and strong long lasting option.

    Thanks mate

    I’d agree, it is a good option, we also cut the bottom of the angle to 45deg to make it even easier what whap into the ground.
