Double-sided sign on U-Channel post

[Doyle]

Just wondering, can I mount signs to both sides of a standard u-channel post? Could bolts be attached through one sign face, through the post, and out the other sign face, secured with a nut on the other side? I know that the two sides of the post are not the same, not sure if this will cause me any trouble or if I should be looking for a different solution?

Thanks!

Should be no problem with two posts. On one post, the sign mounted on the narrow side of the "U" can rock in the wind shortening the life of the sign. The newer style of rib-back posts make the sign on the bottom of the "U" more stable than they were in the past.

If it's a very temporary sign, it should work for a limited time. 8 square feet of sign is really like a small sail and those little posts might just start to rock back and forth and then one day, 'Boink'....... they'll go outta rack and then you'll be done.
