Entrance Signs - Signs With Posts
When looking for a sign with the 'wow' factor, entrance signs are hard to beat. An entrance sign is crucial, not only because it identifies a property but also because it says a lot about your home or business. Your entrance sign must look the part, as people driving past will unknowingly judge you or your business based on its appearance.
We craft our entrance signs typically from wood, although we have also created some striking stone entrance signs. Whether you choose wood or stone, our entrance signs are designed to make a lasting impression and effectively represent your property.
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.
