    Hi Lee
    We use 2″ x 2″ planed softwood and put a point on one end. Join the 2 correx boards back to back with either correx tape or plastic fixings from
    Alplas. Tel: 01702 720000
    Hope that helps

    Lee,
    I wouldnt think any one does a kit,
    after all its only a bit of timber, and perhaps a couple of screws or cable ties

    Love…..Jill

    We make our own …. we order the wood in or collect it from the local timber merchant.

    we make our our too.. 🙂 pretty easy to do…

    we use 3×2 and cut the bottom to a V-point
    the top has a 6mm slot cut in the centre of the 2 inch side,size of sign dictates how deep this needs be..
    the sign slips in the slot and we screw through to the other side sandwiching the corriboard in the centre…. 😉

    we paint the post black using fence woodstain…

    3″ x 2″ Brian M……dam must be windy in Ireland.

    Obsiously the agents dont want to pay much in SE UK as most around my way are def. under 2″x2″.
