Post & panel w/Custom shape top

[Billct2]

I am looking for an aluminum post & panel system like this one by 4Ever.
Only problem with theirs is the posts only come 8'.
With a 4' tall panel I need at least 10' posts to get them deep enough and have a decent space off the ground.
I'd like to buy them ready to use as a kit rather than buying raw extrusions and doing the prep myself.

Put a treated 4x4 inside the post and let 2'-3' stick out the bottom. Or weld extra length on the bottom, it would be below grade so wouldn't show.

They're aluminum. For this client I would probably add an aluminum extender, don't think
they'd like the wood. And I really want that botttom rail in order to add a little rigidity to the 4x6 face.

I am with Mosh. If your posts are 8' aluminum and you need 10 to be deep enough for frost yet have enough height for the sign. Simply buy a 10' 4x4 and cement them in the ground and simply slide the aluminum posts over the top and mount the sign. You still end up with aluminum posts like the picture but below grade is wood. Unless I misunderstood your post.

With most clients I could do that, and if it were only one sign I would just have extensions welded on.

4 ever will sell you whatever length of posts you need. Just tell them what you need.

Maybe I had a new sale rep @$Ever becuase she said 8' only, I'll try again.
I'm also getting quotes from Howard & SignComp.
