One way to increase the mass and overall visual impression of a sign is to mount it on columns instead of posts. A column is a structure that may conceal a post inside it, but it’s larger and more dramatic than a 4×4, 6×6 or 8×8 post. It’s a great way to avoid the sign-on-two-skinny-legs look that Gary Anderson described in “Building great-looking, durable posts.”
PVC board makes a great column material. It’s easy to work with and very durable. Joe Paffoon of Boardwalk Designs, Lynn Haven, Florida, has been doing this for over 25 years.
