can you give a bit more info on it please?
when you say on a wall. do you mean on top or fastened to the face/rear of the wall?
are the posts round, square, L-shaped etc -
Hi,
They are to be mounted on to a wall (3ft high), with the sign above, we are using 50mm round posts.

We use aluminium channel, as fixed onto road signs, onto the wall then use the stainless steel clamps, again as used on road signs, to clamp the posts to the rails.
ASD Metal Services will be able to supply all components, including the posts, if you need them.

I would weld on 4 L-shaped 2×2" steel brackets to each post.
just cut it from a length of L-shaped steel, each about 2 inches long.
drill one hole in each bracket and secure in place using concrete screws and a socket set. make sure the wall isnt a single layer of brick because you could pull the wall over with the wind load and weight of sign.
