Dimensions

• Maximum 140 cm tall however can be cut shorter if requested.
• Each post is around 8.5 cm by 8.5 cm in thickness however this can change slightly due to the nature of it being handmade.

Large Ground Spike - Recommended 

Our 70 cm ground spikes make installation easy by reducing how much of the post needs to be buried (typically 20–30 cm), keeping the sign secure while maintaining its full height. They also protect the oak by preventing direct contact with wet ground, improving stability and longevity.

For guidance, refer to our Ultimate Guide and step-by-step video tutorial.
