Mounting Brackets For 6mm MAXMETAL

[buggyjr12]

I'm looking for brackets to mount a double-sided 6mm MAXMETAL sign between two (vinyl fencing) posts. The only ones I've found are these (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/CenterBrackets & https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/UBrackets) but they both say "short-term use." What does everyone else use? Thanks in advance.

In today's business climate, everything is temporary. Get used to it.

I don't think those brackets will be the weak point. In other words, they should last as long as the sign or longer. Make sure you used enough of them. Every 18 inches or so will help the lifespan of the whole product.

I've seen those brackets last longer than sign faces. Use plenty

We use three per 4' side on the pole. Two corners and a center. They will end up damaging the wrap on the sign from flexing of the sign, so cut around the bracket with a knife.

Being a school with rambunctious kids roaming around looking to tear something up, or down, I had to make sure these panels would be sturdy. Didn't want any fasteners on the front, so they are all on the backside. Panel is half inch aluminum over plywood. Bracket is 1/8" Aluminum Angle. Screws in the panel are 5/8" Stainless Steel, with a washer ( I nipped the tips off and predrilled slightly), so there is no chance of penetrating the first surface. Screws through the vinyl posts and into the 4"x4"'s are 1 1/2". Made several of these around the 2300 student campus about five years ago. People are still finding their way around to this day. It's not a mantra, but I you can't make pretty signs, then don't make signs. P.S, I didn't spec the posts.

You'll cover up a lot of space on either side of the sign panel using those Grimco brackets. I would screw a length of aluminum T-bar extrusion to either post and then affix the sign panels to either side of the extrusion w/ VHB.
