    Hi All,

    I’m needing help with estate agent boards. I am looking to find out what measurements and how to make a triangle/pyramid type estate agent board which you fix on the wall of a house and the advert can be seen both ways. I have made estate agent boards but no the kind which comes in a trianle form

    thanx

    I used to work for a company that made LOADS of these:

    For a 4’x3′ sign, rear frame from 2"x1" PAR, butt corners, joined (using pneumatic stapler) with c.6"x6"x¼" ply triangles on each corner.

    4mm Correx sign, fixed to rear frame by stapling through 1"x½" PAR battens (mitred corners for neatness).

    Join two signs together with two butt hinges.

    For 5’x4′ signs, we’d put an extra piece between the two long sides, and probably three hinges. We’d usually put a 4-5" strip of the Correx "toffee" tape on this crossbar for extra strength.

    The key to good productivity is the powered stapler.

    Well that’s how we made them anyhoo!

    Thanks for your reply richard. The kind i am looking to do is quite small. I would say about 1 may be 2 foot in width and or length. so if i get s 4 mm correx and make the 2 faces, then hinge them together and drill in to a wodden plank at the back would that be okay??
