Need substrate suggestions

I need a substrate suggestion for a double sided sign 15 ft long and approx. 40 inches tall in the middle. Sign to be mounted between two posts. Vinyl will be used at this time. Sign is about 10 ft off the ground across a sidewalk. I have seen suggestions for aluminum tubing but was concerned about the contour of the sign. The original sign was 2 in cypress tongue and groove and fully painted but rotted.

Any suggestions.

length is going to be an issue for single piece construction...

if they want the same 2" thickness, you can possible use 2" HDO laminated with .040 aluminum, but again not sure if you will need to seam or if you can find 15' continuous .040 (you can seam the HDU no issue because its covered)

Maybe have a place like Peachtree make the sign. They can make it look exactly like the old sign. It will also have all the stiffeners and mounting points you spec out.

Might actually be cheaper and faster than doing it in house.
