Mounting is by “Direct Burial” method of installation. PVC post sleeves are embedded into the sign core to allow steel mounting posts to slide in place just prior to mounting. Note: Steel posts are not included.

Installation:
Step 1: Determine placement of sign and location of mounting holes.
Step 2: Utilize post hole diggers or auger drill, dig two holes, depth as required.
Step 3: Place steel posts into sleeves located in the bottom of sign. Spray expanding polymeric resin foam into gap around post.
Step 4: Place a couple of cinder blocks or any other “spacer device” on ground beside holes.
Step 5: Place sign onto bocks, placing posts in the holes.
Step 6: Mix concrete according to directions on bag and pour into holes.
Step 7: Remove spacer blocks and allow sign to rest on ground.
Step 8: Level sign, clean up any debris, you're finished!
