Are you wanting to know what size you should consider for your new entrance sign monument?
Most municipalities have an ordinance restricting both the square footage (the overall width and height calculated in square feet) and even a height restriction. These restrictions are in place to both prevent audacious sized signs in the community, and to prevent line-of-sight visibility from being blocked by traffic.
The best way to be absolutely certain your sign is the right size is to make a full-scale template in an inexpensive material like cardboard. This customer made one template, realized it was too small, and made another larger template for a perfect size.
Note: You can send us a picture of the area the new sign is to be located and we will make suggestions as well. We take into consideration factors like setback (how far back the sign is from the street) and traffic speed to determine what size sign and graphics will produce the best visibility.
This customer sent us their dimensions, and we designed the following layout for their community entrance:
We also provide a positioning diagram to roughly illustrate what the new sign will look like in place:
Plywood and other riding materials have become expensive these days. Since this template is disposable, cardboard is a perfect template solution. An even cheaper solution is to have two 6’ tall people hold a bed sheet between them while someone takes a picture. This allows the changing of size easily and on location.
