Hello,
I have a client who is looking to update his post and panel sign. It was done years ago, and had been refaced last year but now it is time for a full revamp. Currently it is 2 sheets of 4' x 8' Alumalite w/pressure treated 4" x 4" posts, and he has mentioned that he may want to switch it to one central post.
While I have made and installed many post and panel signs, I have not done one with a central post. It seems to me there would be much more engineering involved, with the entire process being more complex. Has anybody found a simple source for some shop drawings or information on a good way to do this. I am not looking for someone to do all the work, but would hate to reinvent the wheel if there is an easy system that exists.
The sign will be 4' - 5' off the ground, so a total height of 8' x 9'. My estimate puts the pole at about a 12' - 14' pole, but I really don't know what kind of structure is going to be required to hold the faces to the pole.
Thanks in advance!
