I am making an 8'x20' ACP sign and wanted to know should I use 5 sheets of 4x8 seamed vertically or 4 sheets of 4x10 (would that look weird?) or any other configuration?
On the last 8x20 I did 5 sheets of 4x8 with the seams running vertically. To get them straight I mounted 20' of an "L" bracket on the corrugated metal wall along the bottom edge of where the sign was going so I could have a little "shelf" to rest the sign faces on when I transferred them from the bucket to the wall...then I just popped some fasteners in and ran with the next one. It was a few years ago and I think I remember it getting them pretty straight without too much fooling around but then again I don't really remember. I removed the L bracket when I was done. Do you guys have an easier or alternative way of installing that many boards to a wall.?
