Sign Fittings
Stainless Steel Although stainless steel sign fittings and fixings are more expensive than the galvanised equivalents, they do not corrode over time. They will remain bright and shiny throughout the life of your sign.
Wrought Iron Our wrought iron work - fixings, brackets, tree stakes, railings bars, hooks and hangers is made by our blacksmith. It is all galvanised before being painted.
Also - Post Holders, Button Fixings, Stand-Off Fixings, Aluminium Angle, Screw Caps...
Tree Stakes and Plaque Holders
We offer a wide range of tree stakes to suit your needs. Our selection includes simple wrought iron tree stakes, wrought iron stakes with attached metal plates, tree stakes with two spikes, and modern angle iron stakes with security pins for mounting into concrete. Additionally, we can provide wooden tree stakes and posts, as well as wrought iron plaque holders for larger memorial plaques.
Wooden Posts for Signs
We offer a wide range of wooden posts, including oak, painted hardwood, iroko, and softwood. Each type of timber has its advantages: oak is the strongest, iroko requires minimal maintenance, and softwood is the most affordable. These timbers are available in any height and standard sizes of 58 x 58mm, 70 x 70mm, and 95 x 95mm, with other sizes available upon request.
Taxidermy Shields & Award Plaques
As well as wooden signs, our carpenters can make virtually any taxidermy shields or trophy plaques in any of our timbers and to almost any shape and size. We do not use veneer! All the plaques, shields and bases are solid timber, with oak being the most popular. We have created several standard sizes in oak, which are good value. These can be supplied in the natural finish or a darker antique look finish. They can also be left untreated or painted. The 19mm thickness is for indoor use only, whereas the 24mm thickness can be used outside. As an alternative to oak, we also use wide board sapele, which is very stable. It looks similar to mahogany and can be used indoors or outside.
Hanging Sign Brackets
We provide an extensive selection of high-quality hanging brackets for both commercial and domestic signage. Our skilled blacksmiths craft wrought iron brackets in a variety of standard sizes, and we also offer custom-made options.
Backing Boards and Wooden Crosses
We offer backing boards in various timbers for mounting your memorial or engraved plaque. For optimal presentation, we recommend ordering a backing board 25mm larger than the plaque in both height and width.
Additionally, we provide maintenance-free Corian backing boards in various colours, including black, slate grey, and mahogany. We also craft wooden crosses in multiple sizes.
Wooden Post with Arm for Hanging Signs
These entrance signs can be made with oak, iroko, sapele, or softwood and are ideal for hanging wooden, framed or metal signs. They are available in natural wood, oiled, varnished, or painted in a many colours. The posts are usually 8 or 9 feet high, and the arm is made to suit the sign.
Oak & Metal Posts With Hanging Arms
More in our range of hanging posts and arms. The metal posts are made from steel and wrought iron, galvanised and then painted - usually black but we have other colours. Oak is usually for the shaped Exmoor Post but other timbers can be used including painted hardwood. Both of these hanging posts will suit many of our signs.
Posts for Signs Wooden, Steel and Aluminium
This page features a selection of posts, but our carpenters and blacksmiths can create custom designs to meet your specific needs. We primarily use oak and iroko for wooden posts. Oak is a beautiful, strong, and long-lasting timber, while iroko, similar to teak, is rich in natural oils, requiring less maintenance. For painted wooden posts, we use sapele, the most stable hardwood. Additionally, we offer a range of metal posts, including handcrafted steel and standard round aluminum.
