Building your sign:

We appreciate that all house names are different, so we would recommend you contact us to discuss your requirements with us, so we can run through your ideal house name configuration. However, if you are happy and the names are very straightforward, your order can be placed very easily using the customer options. Simply add the number of sign plaques you need and write the names in order. All our engraving is done in capitals, but if you would prefer upper & lower case lettering. Additional carvings, such as carved arrow,s can be added by request. Please contact us for these. Then please let us know by email or by phone.

Engraving and Colour Options:

All prices given will include engraving. You can choose to have the lettering paint filled with either white or gold. The paint application is water-resistant, giving plenty of protection for the years to come.

Adding Posts:

These tiered ladder signs can be constructed with either  1 or 2 posts, depending on how sturdy and imposing you want your sign to look. Makes no difference which option you choose; the finished sign will look fantastic.

Finish:

Our oak sign posts are selected from one piece of Air Dried Superior Grade English Oak. This Timber is perfectly seasoned and adjusted for outdoor conditions. You can choose to leave your sign untreated, finished in Superior Danish Oil or our low-maintenance Diamond Coating finish. If you choose to leave your product will weather to a pale silver more quickly. Danish Oil will not only treat the timber but also bring out the timber’s natural colour. This has a UV filter to protect the timber, but it does require regular upkeep, 2 – 4 times a year to keep it looking its best. Diamond Coating is more glossy but a lot more harder wearing and only requires a top up once a year, however, this depends on the weather and where the product is placed. We would recommend twice a year if you want full protection. Top-up kits can be ordered over the phone or on our website – see here. 

Placing your Sign:

When it comes to placing your sign, we recommend you place 30 – 50cm into the ground and fill with concrete for stability and security reasons.
