Buying Guide for Hanging Bracket Picture Signs

What is a 'Hanging Bracket Picture Sign'?
Your chosen design will be welded atop a heavy duty hanging bracket arm. The bracket includes a thick mounting plate with pre-drilled holes for fixing to a wall or post.
The horizontal arm of the bracket and frame of the hanging sign is manufactured with solid box section for rigidity to suit even the windiest of locations and includes a lockable hanging mechanism. Bracket and sign can be fixed together to prevent swing if requested.

Vinyl letters are appropriate for the majority of our signs and will be applied to both sides of the lettering area to create a double sided sign (apart from wall mounted options). We use premium quality ‘cast’ vinyl to ensure long lasting adhesions to the finished surface and to withstand all weathers. This style and quality of lettering is also used in the aviation and automotive industry (including Formula One).
