Place the posts into the holes, ensuring they’re upright and level. Fill the holes with soil or postcrete to secure them firmly in place.
Choosing the Right Wood for Outdoor Sign Posts
Just as we carefully select our slate for clarity and longevity, we apply the same thinking to the timber used for our sign posts. Outdoor posts need to do more than look good — they must withstand weather, ground contact and seasonal movement for years to come.
We use hardwood oak and pressure-treated redwood because they offer the right balance of strength, stability and natural character. Not all timber is suitable for exterior signage, and the quality of the wood directly affects how your sign will perform over time.
Redwood Posts
For customers looking for a lighter or more cost-effective option, we also offer FSC-certified redwood posts that have been pressure treated for exterior use.
The treatment process protects the timber against moisture, decay and insect damage, making it suitable for outdoor conditions. Redwood has a clean, straight grain and provides a neat, understated frame for slate signage.
When properly installed, pressure-treated redwood offers reliable performance while maintaining a natural timber aesthetic.
Why we use treated redwood:
- FSC-certified timber
- Pressure-treated for outdoor longevity
- Stable and structurally sound
- Clean, simple appearance
Natural Grain & Character
As with slate, no two pieces of timber are identical. The grain patterns, colour variation and subtle knots are part of what make each sign installation unique.
We embrace these natural features while selecting timber that meets our standards for strength and stability. The result is a posted house sign that feels considered, balanced and built for its setting.
Wood We Don't Use
Not all timber is suitable for sign posts. For long-lasting exterior sign posts, certain materials simply aren’t suitable.
We avoid:
Untreated softwoods
These are prone to moisture absorption and early rot, particularly when placed in the ground.
Lightweight, fast-grown timber
Rapid growth can result in weaker grain structure, increasing the risk of twisting or warping.
Hollow or decorative-only posts
Some posts are designed purely for appearance and lack the structural integrity required for supporting slate signage outdoors.
Green or poorly seasoned timber
Excess moisture content can lead to cracking, movement and instability over time.
By carefully selecting properly treated redwood, we ensure that our posted signs are built to last, not just to look good on delivery day.
