Posts for Signs Wooden, Recycled Plastic Wood, 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, recycled plastic wood and standard round aluminum.
Private Home Bars and Garden Pubs
In 2020, the rise of private pubs and bars in people's gardens became a noticeable trend. While man caves have long been a staple, the era of social distancing and outdoor gatherings propelled the popularity of these backyard watering holes. At The Sign Maker, we've witnessed this firsthand through the surge in demand for home bar signs. However, our offerings extend beyond just signage. We've expanded our product line to include a variety of garden pub essentials. From custom slate bar tops to outdoor blackboards and window vinyl, we're equipped to cater to every aspect of your backyard pub experience.
Lectern Display Stands
These are normally mounted at a 45-degree angle and usually display information panels. They are ideal for adults, children, and those in wheelchairs. We can make the timbers in our workshops, so these can be made to any size. We also have some tough steel lecterns in various sizes.
Apart from the lectern with cover, we can quote for larger panels to fit on each of the lecterns stands.
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.
SandBlasting Service For North Devon & Exmoor Area
Our craftsmen, who have sandblasted signs for many years, were so often asked to blast other items that we decided to add the service to our website. We can blast clean anything, from bike parts to garden chairs and bread oven doors to old tractors!
Builders often bring in new oak beams to sandblast them, adding a bit of age. We also sand blast timber to create for a driftwood effect.
We have several mediums depending on the finish required.
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.

Fibreglass Business Signs
Fibreglass (GRP) have massive advantage over other sign systems. Although comparatively light, they are extremely strong and therefore resistant to vandalism and weathering.
The sign boards are manufactured to any RAL colour plus black and white. The colours are a shade guide only as the actual signs are much richer and brighter as you would expect from pigmented fibreglass
