What grade of aluminum is used to make road sign blanks?

We offer aluminum sign blanks in two alloys, 5052-H38 and 3105-H191. We carry multiple guages (thickness) including .040", .063", .080", .100", and .125". All aluminum is processed in-house to better control quality. We level, treat, cut, punch and radius aluminum coils into road sign aluminum blanks, all within our 65,000 square foot production facility.

How do I fasten the signs to a fence?

Use our inexpensive fence clips. They come in pairs. For most people, fastening a sign with our clips is actually a 'one person affair'.

We have had an accident. Although no one was seriously hurt, we are worried that we need a better sign at the street corner. Do you have any suggestions?

Consider adding a 'Blazer' to your sign. This fluorescent reflective sign snaps into the sign's metal post. It is hard to miss and could really help. Also consider a replacement sign. Over time, a sign's brightness may decrease.

Do I need to add the penal code number to our No Trespassing Signs?

The short answer is no. In fact you don’t even need to post a No Trespassing sign for it to be illegal. However, it takes out the ambiguity and makes the rules clear. A threatening sign will deter potential violators from trespassing.

So to, there is no penal code requirement for your sign. The warning is sufficient. However, posting the penal code can add extra emphasis on the fact that trespassing is breaking the law, and this extra boldness may thwart even more trespassing. In sum, the penal code is not essential, but it helps.
