Stadium Light pole Mounted Sign

[Signscorp]

We're looking at doing a 8' diameter logomark on a stadium lightpost. The idea is if the batter hits it, everyone in the stadium gets a prize.

I'm thinking two 8 ft ACP sheets, braced on the back with 6 pieces of 1" aluminum angle. Does anyone have suggestions for mounting it onto the post? The post is aprox 12" in diameter.

Just make sure the prize isn't a sign falling on their head.

We used a series of Aluminum angle along the back of the sign using carriage bolts for a very similar sign. I think he was around 4'x8'. We clamped the angle to the poles with some very large heavy duty "hose clamps". Worked fine for years even after heavy windstorms damaged almost every other sign there at the stadium.

Look at this -

Stainless Steel Banding | Pole Sign Bracket | Traffic Safety Products

Stainless Steel Banding, (also known as stainless steel strapping) is a very versatile and cost effective solution for sign mounting and signal mounting.

We use it and it works great - they have the clamps and binders too

Call on hobbytown.... a very knowledgeable member here at s101. She seems to have all the answers these days. If she can't help, gnubbins can. She too, has a great insight on these matters. Most of us old-timers don't know anymore. We just ramble.

Nice that looks ideal. Thanks we were already planning on doing angle back there for some structure so this set up is perfect.

A little concerned on the surface area we'd have for that one. It'll be my companies logo up there so extra embarrassing if it falls. I'd rather over-do it a bit here i think

Good timing, I just got asked to install a sign on a pole, similar to this. Will check out the metal strapping and clamps.
