Treated Lumber VS. Vinyl

[Rickey J]

I have a customer who is needing a sign and frame. I am on the fence on how I should do it because of the panels need and the size. I am not sure if I should just order a custom vinyl sign frame or make one out of treated 4x4 post and paint it. What are your thoughts and what are the pros and cons of either. I have done the vinyl before but never made or painted a wooden sign frame. I have seen a few photos of the wood sign frames some of you have done on here and they are awesome!

Sorry Rickey, but your question is way too vague to give you any help, but I do like chocolate cake.

Go with the kit. Learn woodworking skills on your own projects, not your customers.

Suggestions on where to get a custom sign kit?

Who'd you use last time? I went to merchant list and third one down, AUE signframes seems to offer what you are looking for.

I went though a local supplier but they do not offer a custom frame kit.

I'd choose cedar over treated any day. Treated doesn't hold paint, and has a way of moving...terribly.
