Fixings Kits
Even if you decide not to order a kit, you may find the following useful when fitting your sign.
The Fixings Kit includes all the little bits and pieces you need to install your sign. Though you do need to buy yourself a 2.2 metre length of rough-sawn 2" by 2" wood from your local builders merchant or diy store.
The kit includes a side plate, so you can secure your sign firmly to the post. There are also four kinds of fixing: 1 nylon ties 2 wood screws 3 a stake with 2 cross stakes, both made from treated softwood 4 masonry screw bolts.
The Fixings Kit Installation Instructions show 5 methods of installation. Whichever option you follow, you'll need to fix the sign to your post (using the side plate) with a crosshead screwdriver (Alternatively for T boards, screw the board directly to your post). Then, to take each option in turn:
1 Strapping your sign post to a fence/gate upright with nylon ties (included). Very easy - just loop the ties round the post and upright.
2 Screwing your sign post to a fence/gate upright with 2 screws (included). Easy - drill 2 holes in your post with a 6mm drill. Then screw the screws through the post and into the fence/gate upright.
3 Fixing your post to a stake in the ground. Easy - just fix your post to the stake with 2 screws (included), then knock your stake into the ground.
4 Screwing your sign post to a wall using the masonry screw bolts (included). Moderate - you'll need a hammer drill to make 2 small fixing holes in the wall, and then you'll need to use an adjustable spanner to tighten the bolts.
5 As 4, this time with a post the same height as the sign.
