Follow this guide to attach a sign with pre-fitted channels to one of our signposts.
- Prepare your materials: Assemble your sign with pre-attached channels, the signpost, your channel clips, and your tools.
- Position the sign: Hold your sign against the signpost at the desired location. Having another person to assist can be helpful. Ensure the signpost runs through the middle of the sign and the sign is level.
-
Position channel clips:
- Round posts: take your channel clips and slide one end into the pre-attached channels on the sign. Place the channel around the signpost.
- Square posts: slide the square head of one bolt into the channel and loosely secure one end of the square clip to the bolt using one of the supplied nuts. Then position the channel around the signpost.
- Insert bolts: Slide the remaining bolts into the channel and through the holes in the other end of the channel clips that wrap around the post.
- Secure the bolts: On the threaded end of the bolt, screw on the nut. Hand-tighten the nut, leaving it loose enough to adjust the sign’s position.
- Check alignment and adjust: With the use of your level tool, make sure that the sign is perfectly vertical. If necessary, slightly move the sign and channel clips to adjust its position.
- Tighten the bolts: Once you've confirmed that the sign is properly positioned, fully tighten the nuts on the bolts using your spanner or socket set. Ensure that they're secure but do not overtighten, as this could potentially damage the sign or the channel clips.
- Final check: Conduct a final check to confirm that everything is secure and properly aligned. The sign should be firmly attached to the post and the post should be upright.
