These two back-mounted 4 " x 4" Cedar wood posts provide support for this large Sunrise Park sign . Back-mounted post supports are often used for single-faced signs ( double-faced signs, require side-mounted posts because back-mounted posts obscures the back face of the sign). Because the posts are closer to the center of the sign, back-mounted signs usually do not need to be supported with a bottom horizontal beam or internal steel frame. Unlike side-mounted signs, a third or even a fourth post can be placed at the back of the sign to provide additional support..
Because the top of the posts are usually hidden by the front of the sign, the top of the posts usually do not have finials. The posts are inserted into a 2 ft deep hole in the ground, which are filled with concrete, The bottoms of the posts are treated with a wood preservative. The wood posts are painted with a wood primer and white top coat using a long-lasting wood enamel.
The sign can be attached to the posts with round-head screws or bolts through the front face of the sign (with heads painted to match the sign's background) , or with 4 aluminum 2" wide L-brackets (mounted on the top and bottom on both sides of all of the posts) which have holes for screws that are inserted into the back of the sign and also to the sides of each post (these are not visible from the front of the sign). We can provide this installation hardware with the posts. or if you buy both sign and the posts, we can pre-drill holes in the sign and the post for easy installation.
