Large sign - material choice help!

[mac_man_luke]

Hello all

We have had our RS640 for around a year so far and mostly we have been doing print/cut decals, banners, small signs, a frames etc.

Last week we had one of our clients enquire about a sign for his building.

It will be supply only as has the ability to self install (in the building industry).

He wants the sign to be about 3m x 2m (~10ft x 6.5ft)

We have been thinking about using either alupanel or sign white colourbond (coated sheet metal .8 thick)

Would this generally be done in pieces or as one piece?

Our client has offered to supply galvanised steel as the substrate, would this be suitable?

any info is appreciated.

thanks
Luke

Do What ever ya want dude. Alupanel doesn't come in the size you want, to do a 1 piece sign.

What kind of building? What kind of install?

will be going on a brick wall

As a general rule, would signs this big be done in pieces?

Two pieces is not a problem since you won't find many materials that size. I try and use a few design tricks to visually take away from any seams in your panel.
