76mm welded baseplate sign posts provide the flexibility to install a sign on solid, structural surfaces such as concrete. 

Many car parking signs, facilities management sites and private business parks will require a sign to be installed without the ability to dig traditional post foundations. As a solution for this we offer aluminium posts with a welded flange base plate for surface mounting.

Each 76mm diameter aluminium sign post has a 300mm diameter x 10mm thick aluminium plate structurally welded to the bottom. The plate has four pre-drilled fixing holes at 13mm diameter ready ready to accept M12 anchor/through bolt fixings.

How to install a sign post into concrete?

Installing a sign post into existing concrete or other hardstanding surfaces requires a lot of time and effort and the use of an industrial breaker to dig the hole for the post foundation.

Instead, we recommend using a welded base plate post to surface mount onto the existing surface. The welded base plates have 13mm diameter holes ready for M12 anchor/through bolt fixings which means just four holes per base will need to be drilled into the surface.. 

When to use an sign post with a baseplate?

Welded flange plate posts are a brilliant choice when installing small wayfinding, informational and safety signs in an area that already has concrete surfaces. Baseplate posts are often used in car parks and business parks where digging holes is not a possibility.  

How tall can a sign post with a welded baseplate be?

We recommend that surface mounted sign posts should not exceed 3000mm without a structural calculation and added structural supports welded on.

What fixings should be used to surface mount a sign post?

For installing the baseplate posts onto a concrete, paved or tiled surface, we would suggest using M12 Through bolts of an appropriate length. These are specifically designed for structural fixings into solid, non-cracked concrete foundations. For surfaces such as tarmac, other fixing methods such as resin fixed studs may be required.
