I sold a double faced 5'X8' Aluminum Sign with 12" Wide Extrusions and is hinged on both sides for changeable copy, you know one of the church signs that looks like everyone elses.
I tried to sell a peachtree monument (eps) couldn't get them to go for it anyway.
The Church is doing the install and all I have to do is deliver the sign, but the Pastor is a long time friend and I would like to give them some direction on the install.
It will be a between the pole mount and will be bricked around those poles.
What's the best way to do this, my thought is angle iron attached to the post and then angle iron boltod to the sides of the can and bolt the two angle irons together. Two per side. Am I on the right track or is there better way.
Thanks for taking the time,
Dave

The install will depend largely on the cabinet construction, i.e. where it is braced on the inside. On between pole mounts, the corners are the strongest and the cab should be constructed so that the full weight can rest there. Angle brackets above and below the corners should be the way to go. But "adding brick" must be done thoughtfully. Be sure to tell them they need to allow access for removing the faces in the future. I've seen a lot of homemade signs and/or installs where this was not considered.

Good point Rove!! You can use nylon washers to keep the metals from touching; check Lowes.
