Hello Letterheads,

I have to do a quote for some site signs, 24"x36" and am quoting both the real estate frame style and coroplast.

Question is, will coroplast work at that size and are there bigger step stakes - i'm worried about them blowing over with the smaller stakes.

Thanks,
Steve

Yes they make heavy(er) duty step stakes.
(We don't offer the cheap ones anymore ... 'cause they suck)

At that size sell them 2 stakes per sign.
Still can't guarantee they wont blow over ... it is what it is (cheap temp)

Steve,
You can still produce the signs in Coroplast, but offer them the normal metal frames. They'll save some money on the sign materials.
I'd be concerned with the coros bending at that size if you use only the wire stakes.

We print coro signs in larger sizes but only for true real estate frames. We also only use the 6mm thickness and a good double sided foam tape to install them. They are just too flexible to stay in the frames against the rigors of nature.

for norman 18x24 we only use the heavy duty step stakes also. The light ones are junk and only good for 12x18 at the most.

Diversified Signs now has a really heavy duty corro stand I think for 6MM coro maybe it's 10mm but the base leg is 1/2" powder coated wire.
