How to Install Double-Sided End Mounted Signs

Double-Sided End-Mounted Sign Assembly & Installation Guide

Projecting or end-mounted signs offer maximum visibility in rural settings where traffic speeds are typically low. This professional guide outlines the correct procedure for assembling and mounting a double-sided sign to a single post using our specialist offset bracket and uni-clamp system. This guide assumes a post is already in-situ.

*Please note: this sign system can also be mounted with screw bands if the post diameter is unknown or does not conform to uni-clamp sizes.

What you will need:

• Assembled Double-sided End Mounted Sign

• Uni-clamps (or screw bands if post diameter is larger or unknown)

• M8 Square Head Bolts, Nut & Washers (included with every uni-clamp purchase)

• Appropriate Wrench / Spanner for M8 Fixings (13mm)

Initial Assembly

Step 1: Preparing the Mounting Clamps

Slide the uni-clamps onto the post.

Important: Keep the clamps a little loose at this stage. They must be able to slide freely to allow for perfect alignment once the sign panel is introduced.

Sign Mounting and Securing

Step 2: Aligning the Offset Bracket

Offer the sign panel up to the post. The sign utilizes a specialized 'offset bracket' that allows the sign to project outwards from a single point of fix.

Engagement: Slot the loose uni-clamps into position behind the offset bracket as shown in the technical diagrams.

Securing: Once the sign is at the desired height (2.1 metres over a footway, or 2.4 metres over a cycleway) and level, tighten the bolts on the uni-clamps to lock the assembly in place.

Step 3: Completion and Inspection

Your double-sided end-mounted sign is now complete. Conduct a final check to ensure all fixings are high-torque tightened and the sign is perpendicular to the post.
