Sign post (bollard)

Does anyone know a source for a sign post as shown in the attached photo?

It's a steel post, filled with concrete with a traffic sign post set in the concrete.

I know where to get the parts but was looking for a ready to install solution.

I went through the search for something like this. They are all steel pipe with a uchannel or square post added. And the cost for the steel pipe was surprisingly expensive

Thanks for your help.

We're going to use a bollard as shown in the file attached, filled with cement with the sign post in it.

Ya know, if you go to a junk yard, you can get 5" x 1/4" wall pipe like that for about 50¢ a running foot. I just got 6" pipe for 40¢ a foot and they said it will probably cost more in a month or two.

Or some 10' schedule 40 3" PVC pipe for $20 and some yellow paint. The recycling metal place is a good place to pick up steel pipe. If going in concrete, rent a core drill at Home Depot.

We regularly go to a "pipe yard" and get the used pipe, which is a fraction of the cost.
regardless of new or used, the pipe will have to be prepped and painted.

granted you have to follow specs if they list a certain type/grade for the pipe.
