Square Posts



The Telespar Square Post System consists of square, perforated, welded steel tubing, in eight sizes and three gauges. Fully punched holes or "knock-outs" on all four sides allow signs to be mounted back to back and on adjacent sides.

The unique manufacturing method used to produce Telespar tubing permits tubular sections of different sizes to telescope into the next larger size making adjustment, reinforcement and splicing fast and easy. The square shape also provides superior windload capabilities and torsional stability.

Installation

  1. Drive a minimum 30" piece of 12 gauge Telespar (anchor) into the soil until only 1-2 inches are left exposed. For a 2-piece anchor, use a 18" piece of tubing for a sleeve, one size larger than the anchor. Make sure the anchor and sleeve holes are aligned.
  2. Attach the sign to the post at the desired height using drive rivets or bolts.
  3. Insert the signpost, which is one size smaller than the anchor, about 6-8 inches in the anchor base.
  4. Bolt the signpost to the anchor assembly with a corner bolt.
