Foam Monument - Recent Install

[rob nichols]

Installed this 9' H x 15' W custom foam sign this week. We designed the sign and had it manufactured by one of our vendors. Poured a pad with sonotube inserts a few weeks ago when the weather was a bit better. Installed with PVC sleeves inside to accept 3.5" steel tubing. The client was quite pleased with the final product.

Very cool. I like the creative use of the river stones. We engrave a lot of them for pet memorials.

I like it- were the rocks molded in the design and painted or...?

The River stone was carved and painted. The vendor is Peachtree City Foamcraft. Thanks for the compliments.

They fabricated the sign from the drawings that I provided, in two sections - the gray base is a separate piece. They placed PVC sleeves inside the sign at the locations specified. We poured the pad with 12" sonotube inserts, we set the sign with 4 steel poles inside, and concrete in the 36" sonotubes. The poles extend up into the sign - two longer toward the middle, and two shorter poles closer to the ends.
