How to Install "Bent Back Post" signs

[Dennis Schaub]

I am installing some signs from Howard Industries, direct burial. They have the "bent-over" posts, and I am wondering, how do I install them without them falling over? I am not sure if the concrete will hold them in place until it dries or if they would require temporary bracing, or? Has anyone here installed them before or have any ideas? Thanks!

I would use a fast setting fence and post concrete, and make a simple brace out of a 2x4

I would suggest using temporary bracing or stakes to hold posts straight until concrete fully dries

Hello,
To install the interpretation signs, you will need a dry mix. Dig holes that are typically 900mm deep. Insert posts into the holes. Fill half of the holes with dry mix concrete.

Hold the sign roughly in the level position and have your assistant compact the dry mix until the sign is self-supporting.

Place your levels on the posts and the top of the sign. Adjust until the sign is perfectly level. Add dry mix a little at a time and compact it down.

Finally, cover the top of the sign with soil. The dry mix will absorb the water from the ground and set on its own.
