Post and panel signs are sign panels, made from aluminum, ACM, MDO and other materials, mounted between or on posts. They're a clean, affordable way to mark an entrance, a parking lot, an office or a clinic, and they work just as well for a single business as for a building with many tenants.

Because the panels attach to the posts, you can swap a panel when a tenant moves or a phone number changes without pulling anything out of the ground.

What we make

  • Single and double post signs
  • Multi-tenant post and panel signs
  • Parking, lot and entrance signs
  • Replacement panels on existing posts
  • Decorative post caps and finials

Good to know

Updating later

Panels can be swapped without pulling the posts, so a new tenant or a new phone number is a quick change.

Sizes & timeline

Sizes

Common sizes run from small 18 x 24 inch parking signs to 4 x 8 foot entrance signs. We size the sign for how far away people need to read it.

Timeline

Most post and panel signs are ready in about 2 to 3 weeks after you approve the proof, plus permit time if one is needed.

Common questions

Can I change a panel later?

Yes. Panels are replaced without removing the posts, so updates are quick and inexpensive.

Do post and panel signs need a permit?

Many do, depending on size and location. We check with the city and handle it.

How are the posts installed?

Usually set in concrete footings. We locate underground utilities before we dig.

Can you match our existing signs?

Yes. Send a photo and we'll match colors and fonts.
