    Do you buy these things in ready made and then letter, or make your own from scratch ?

    Who from, or how to, what is the actual panel made from ?

    Cheers

    Hi chaps, with reference to the signs; they are made “in-house” by ourselves out of 3mm aluminium plate (cut to size by our metal supplier) then the corners are rounded off, post/ sign track is applied then they are covered with the relevant vinyl/ lettering/ graffix etc.

    We are currently doing quite a few of these, particularly the disabled signs.

    I am usually against “buying in” if it is something we can do ourselves.

    If I can offer any assistance, please, thats what the boards are here for, I’m sure other members will contribute.

    cheers

    hi phil, yes no probs

    we use a local company called forgale ltd, west yorkshire (01924 401020) not sure what current prices are.

    also you could try ashby supplies
    http://www.ashbytrade.co.uk/clip2.htm

    try them both and play them off each other, we usually do and they usually improve on price slightly

    cheers

    Dee-organ in Paisley can do the boards in 11 gauge Aluminuim plus rail them. They also do the poles and supply clips. Or you could make them yourself using Reynobond from Amari Plastics in Uddingston and channel rail from, I think its Insight Cambuslang. Reynobond is great stuff we use it all the time.
