Industry Leading Durability
With an outdoor life of at least 10 years, our sign posts certainly are the most durable in the market. U-channel sign posts look brand new even after years of exposure to sun, wind, and weather abuse. Baked-enamel coating extends the life of posts and makes them rust-proof.

From the manufacturer
What Weight is Best?
U-channel posts are typically available in two different weights. The heavy duty, 2 lbs post is a standard at municipalities. It is ideal for traffic signs and signs 18” x 24” and larger.
The medium weight, 1.12 lbs post, is lower cost and popular for 12” x 18” signs.
The weight of the post is determined per foot of length. A 2 lbs, 6’ long post should weigh approximately 12 pounds.
What Height is Best?
8’ posts are most popular. 8’ posts are the standard for most parking lots, schools and malls.
6’ posts, however are easier to install and are are favored by home owners or for off-street installations. Assuming 1.5” below-ground depth, this gives a height of 3’ between the ground and the bottom of a typical 18” tall sign.
The hole spacing and hole size is standard across all post heights.
- 6’ posts are often used in pairs, with one nested into the other. This makes it easier to install a post.
- Combine two 6′ posts to give you a 7’ clearance to the bottom of 2′ tall sign. This is the distance between the ground and the bottom of a sign.
- A 4’ and a 6’ post can be combined to give you a total above ground post height of 7’.
- An 8’ post will give you about 5’ between the ground and the bottom of a parking sign.

I’m impressed with the quality of the sign. But I just don’t understand why they are so expensive compared to other products of similar construction challenges and materials
David –
These posts are very strong. I ordered the 8-foot posts so I could bury them into the ground 2 feet and have a 6-foot speed sign. We used a cylinder post hammer which made it very easy to get into the ground. Thank you so much for a great quality product.

Because of ongoing problems with trespassing, I wanted sign posts that would take attachment of large signs, and be tall enough to be seen. They are just what I wanted. We had to hire someone with heavy equipment to install them 3 feet deep.
