🔧 Mounting Ideas — Wall, Fence, Gate & More
-
Adhesive or mounting tape: Use heavy-duty outdoor double-sided tape such as 3M VHB on a clean, dry, smooth surface for a neat finish without visible fixings.
-
Command strips: Suitable for some smooth indoor surfaces when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and weight limits.
-
Screws with holes: Holes can be requested for suitable mounting. Please tell us whether you need 3mm or 5mm holes and the preferred positions when ordering. Do not drill or pierce the acrylic yourself, as it may crack and damage the sign.
-
Letterbox or post mounting: Use outdoor-rated mounting tape, suitable cable ties or requested holes with appropriate screws, depending on the surface.
-
Hanging display: Select the Hanging Sign option for the appropriate wire or hanging mounts for your chosen size.
🌱 Stake Mounting — Ground & Driveway Display
Display your sign along a driveway, garden path, farm entrance or private property boundary. It can be mounted to a suitable timber or metal stake for a clear roadside or entrance warning.
-
With holes: Request 3mm or 5mm holes when ordering, then attach the sign to a timber or metal garden stake using cable ties, zip ties or suitable screws. Do not drill the acrylic yourself.
-
No-holes option: Apply heavy-duty outdoor double-sided tape such as 3M VHB to the back of the sign and press firmly onto a flat stake face. Tape strength may vary depending on surface texture and weather conditions.
-
Recommended stake: A 40–50mm wide timber stake or flat metal star picket works well for most sign sizes.
-
For larger signs: Use a sturdy metal star picket or two stakes for added stability in windy locations.
-
Tip: Position the sign so the wording is clearly visible and easy to read from the driveway or approach.
⚠️ Important Acrylic Sign Warning
Please do not drill or pierce the acrylic yourself. If you require screw or stake mounting, request 3mm or 5mm holes when ordering and tell us where the holes need to be positioned. Incorrect drilling can crack and permanently damage the sign.

🧽 Simple Application Instructions
-
Clean the surface: Use a mild cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, oil and residue. Allow the surface to dry completely.
-
Check placement: Test the position, size and orientation before removing the backing. Do not apply to a wet, dusty, greasy, rough or peeling surface.
-
Apply slowly: Peel back a small section of the backing, align the sticker, then smooth it down gradually from one edge using a squeegee, card or clean cloth.
-
Press firmly: Smooth from the centre outwards to reduce air bubbles and help the adhesive bond.
-
Allow it to bond: Keep the sticker dry and undisturbed while the adhesive sets. Avoid applying in extreme heat, cold, rain or high humidity.
