Description
No-Dig Solution for Concrete and Asphalt Surface Mounting
Our U-Channel Sign Post Surface Mount Base Plates provide a heavy-duty, reliable solution for mounting 2lb U-Channel posts directly to solid surfaces. This hardware is the ideal choice for projects where boring holes, digging, or pouring concrete footings is not feasible or permitted.
Constructed from high-quality steel, these plates allow you to install permanent or temporary signage on sidewalks, parking decks, and warehouse floors with minimal effort. Simply anchor the base to the surface and bolt your U-Channel post directly to the integrated upright support.
Key Features
- Effortless Surface Mounting: Eliminates the need for traditional "in-ground" installation, saving significant time and labor.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from 1/8" thick steel to provide a rigid foundation that resists leaning and wind-loading.
- Superior Stability: The 8" x 8" base dimensions offer a broad footprint to evenly distribute weight and maintain post-verticality.
- Durable Finish: Galvanized finish to withstand outdoor exposure and high-traffic environments without compromising structural integrity.
- Pre-Drilled Holes: Features 5x pre-drilled 3/4" screw holes on the base for quick anchoring to the ground (1 on each corner and 1 in the middle of the base).
