I was going to suggest Home Depot till I got to the end of your post. Lol. If they need something more durable you might could use a 4" steel tube? That's pretty freaking strong.

Is the customer wanting this? It still comes from Home Depot. It goes over a 4x4 but is 6x6.

Or is he thinking about the ones that aren't sleeves (as the ones he doesn't want). They assemble around the post rather than slide over it. My neighbors used them on their deck. They are thin and they look like crap.

Thank you! This looks like a good option, even if it is from Home Depot

Questions I should have asked first...Why? What is the issue that has them making this request? Are they temp or permanent signs? For permanent installs we like to add a collar around the bottom of the posts when we install so there is a couple of inches of concrete out of the ground. That protects them from weed whackers and lawnmowers which can trash vinyl post covers.

Haha, exactly why I use them! We replaced about 10 leasing signs for a client a few years ago and the old poles over the years got beat to hell from the weed whackers. We put 2' collars at the bottom (posts painted white to match) and they seem to be holding up much better.

I have a realtor asked me for a quote for 4x8 ft sign like this one. How much do you all charge for a real estate sign like this with and without installation?

Before Covid
D/S $995 installed. Installation is $200 of that.
After Covid
Whatever I can get and make a profit.

I gave up being cheap and started using 4x4 Aluminum posts over 4x4 PT posts. Removable, durable and sturdy. Cost more for first installation but always look professional. Tired of "cheap" customers selling expensive real estate trying to save pennies and complaining what their sigs look like after a few weeks.
