    Truck are too damn big if you can't see a 3' bollard and he can't reach my toolbox. A client had a very similar problem a few years ago and I simple installed the 'Parking Only' signs on the white line extended instead of the middle of the parking spot. Sometimes the non-invited still park...

  19. Underwater Signs?? Vinyl/Laminate that will hold up underwater?

May need cleaning occasionally from algae or silt buildup, but I've pulled years old signs from along river beds & banks and they were weathering just fine. I did urine discharge measurement labels for the inside of the...
