10x20ft sign

[HulkSmash]

Hey everyone. Thanks in advanced for the help and suggestions. I've done many signs this size, but i'm looking for a more practical way to do a sign this big. This customer wants a sign 10x20, and biggest sub straight i use or can even find is 5x10. This will be on thick di bond mounted to a brick facade. I really dont want to do this sign using 4 pieces and then puzzling them together at the install.

Thanks again.

That's the biggest substrate I have found as well. Do you have a way to transport a sign thats bigger than 5x10' sections?

 

[HulkSmash]

no.. but ill find a way. haha

prob easier to "puzzle" them together if you go vertical - 4 pcs 5x10 next to each other...not too hard to puzzle

Another idea....but not as good as Dibond with 1x1 frame behind it.....
2" x 2" square steel tubing frame with an 18oz. banner stretched over it.

Build a frame first, instal that on the wall and then mount your 4 pieces of 5' x 10'.

Easy/peasy.

5x10 really the only way and be able to transport with least amount of pieces to put together and be able to handle.

unless you have a crane a 24 ft low trailer build a rack to hold ... do you have a 50 of these even 20 other that not worth the effort.

Good call Gino, thanks. Usually i just print a banner on cheap paper, but it'll be too windy for that.

That's really the only, and best, way to do it!

I would use 1" aluminum tubing for your frame work and you could always frame it in with some 1¼" aluminum angle!

Tubing frame, VHB tape, how high is it. I bet if t is 10' up you will not even see the joints. We do big stuff in sections all the time.

I think astro8 or Fitch showed off an awesome one piece 'roll lexan' job he did a while back... not sure if 10' roll exist, but the 20' length is no problem.. I'll look form the link!

Build a tubing frame and use .080 aluminum sheets and weld the seams closed. sand and prep like you would body work on a car. Me thinks this would be over-kill.
