Sign Posts
A selection of posts are shown on this page. However our carpenters and blacksmith can make other post designs to special order. The main timbers we use for wooden posts are oak and iroko. Oak is a beautiful timber which is very strong and long lasting. Iroko is similar to teak and full of its own oil so needs less maintenance. For painted wooden posts, idigbo and accoya are used. Idigbo which is a cheaper hardwood and lighter weight and accoya is a modified timber very good for painting. There is also a range of metal posts - both hand-made steel and standard round aluminium.

Simple but with lots of choice in timbers and sizes. The diameter of the planed posts varies from 45mm x 45mm to 115mm x 115mm. Timbers include Oak, Sapele, Accoya, Iroko and softwood. Lettering can be carved into the posts. Posts can be oiled, painted or varnished.
Wrought iron brackets are also available to fix a hanging sign to the posts. |

Large stone signs are very heavy and need to be well supported on the posts. One possibility is to inset the sign into a 95mm x 95mm post. It can be then bolted to the post or in the case of the Sign Maker sign to the right fixed with our heavy duty adhesive - Grab & Bond
