Product Description

These low cost posts are good for temporary signs.

This standard-sized U-channel post is a lightweight alternative to our high-strength post. This post is great for most common uses.
Posts are made from steel with a baked-on green enamel finish that stops rust.
Posts are predrilled with 3/8" diameter holes that are 1" on center, located at the top 30" of the post.
Sign posts weigh 1.12 pounds per foot of length.
Tapered on one end, these U-channel posts are designed for fast, stay-flat installation of your signs.
