Wide Slate House Sign with Optional Posts

Slate House Sign with Timber Posts

Designed for Entrances, Driveways & Rural Properties

Created for properties where visibility and presence matter, this engraved slate sign with timber posts offers a substantial freestanding design suited to driveways, farm entrances, country homes and larger front gardens.

The combination of natural slate and solid timber creates a more established appearance than a standard wall-mounted plaque, helping the sign feel integrated into the landscape while remaining clear and easy to read from a distance.

Whether used for a farmhouse, cottage, barn conversion or modern rural home, the clean engraved layout gives the sign a timeless and understated character.

Premium Honed Slate with Deep Engraving

Each sign is produced using high-grade honed natural slate chosen for its smooth surface, durability and natural tonal variation. Your house name, number or address is deeply sandblasted directly into the stone using traditional engraving methods for a crisp finish with genuine depth and permanence.

Unlike printed signage or surface-applied vinyl, the engraving becomes part of the slate itself, creating lettering designed to withstand long-term outdoor exposure without peeling or fading.

The honed slate surface also provides excellent contrast and readability in changing daylight and wet weather conditions.

Choice of Handmade Timber Posts

This sign is available with a choice of handcrafted timber posts to suit different property styles and surroundings.

The rustic oak posts offer a more traditional appearance with natural grain, character and warmth, making them especially suited to country homes, period properties and rural entrances. Available in both 2ft and 3ft heights, each oak post is individually handmade for a solid, substantial finish.

For a cleaner and more contemporary appearance, the painted smooth redwood posts provide a sharper, more refined look while still retaining the warmth of natural timber. The painted finish pairs particularly well with modern homes and contemporary landscaping schemes.

Handmade to Order in Our Kent Workshop

Every sign is made to order and entirely hand-finished in our Kent workshop by our small in-house team. We focus carefully on engraving depth, spacing and typography to ensure each design feels balanced, professional and easy to read from a distance.

Because each piece is individually produced rather than mass-manufactured, every sign retains the character and craftsmanship of genuine handmade exterior signage.

Built to Withstand the British Weather

Natural slate and solid timber have long been used for exterior signage due to their strength and longevity outdoors. The dense slate resists moisture, frost and UV exposure, while the substantial timber posts provide a durable and stable mounting solution for exposed outdoor locations.

All signs are securely packaged using recyclable paper-based materials wherever possible to reduce unnecessary plastic while ensuring safe delivery.
