 We have a large range of steel and aluminium posts available from stock together with post caps & fittings. Steel posts are finished as standard, with a grey textured plastic coating and are generally used for industrial applications such as highway signs and in heavier applications. Aluminium Posts have a cleaner more polished finish and are more frequently used where appearance is of greater importance. Standard finishes are grey plastic coating on steel posts and grey powder coated for aluminium. Please note when ordering steel posts these are generally three times heavier than aluminium. Aluminium signposts are available in most standard RAL or BS Colours. Stock grey posts are available for same day despatch. Most sizes of aluminium and steel posts up to 6m long are available from stock same day despatch. Posts in excess of 6.000 metres long are available as special orders. We strongly recommend the use of below ground base plates when installing signposts. These prevent the rotation or removal of the posts after the concrete has set. It is often easier to cast a concrete foundation without supporting the weight of the post itself. It can also be an advantage to undertake the groundwork before taking signposts to site. In these instances it can be very useful to use foundation sleeves. These ribbed plastic sleeves can be pre-cast into concrete foundations allowing signposts to be light cast or sand filled at a later date. |
