Unique project - need fabrication advise!

[edensdesign]

I would have them build the underside of the deck with a flat solid substrate facing the area where the sign is to be installed for that section and pin mount painted aluminum with welded studs and use green spacers to match the bush.. acrlylic or pvc would work too but may be more fragile than welded studs... drill the pattern before bush is put there... then install through the bush.. will need access inside the under deck... but aside from being a little fragile its relatively easy and you should be able to charge quite a premium.

Clear 1/4" acrylic. Polish edges and Heat bend to shape. 1/4" white acrylic solvent cut and welded as needed. A couple solid supports painted green and attached to whatever you can get a hold of.

Just hire a kid to sit at the bottom of the stairs, throwing a paper airplane into the bushes all day. Probably cheaper, definitely easier. And, more attractive (unless it's an ugly kid).

We did this for a similar project, but it is indoors.

Living Wall Sign?

This will be a first for me so I'm coming to all of you to hopefully answer an issue before it ever arises. We are doing studded dimensional letters protruding about 6" off of a living wall. This will be in an (interior) office space, but my concern is about humidity/moss/mold potential issues...

For your project I would fabricate everything out of Aluminum.

It wouldn't be fun but, if you route the logo from 1/4" or 3/8" aluminum plate, you could tap each individual piece of the logo and stud-mount them back to the wall. I would add thin wall PVC tube spacers to keep the stand-off from the wall consistent and, if the spacers are painted green, they would maybe somewhat blend into the foliage & sorta kinda look like the logo is floating in front of the green stuff. Of course, as someone said earlier, the landscapers will not be happy, especially when they see that they will have to trim the foliage by hand with a pair of shears, but that's the customer's problem. I would explain very clearly to the customer that, over time, the pieces of the logo will start to droop and, if a passerby bumps into the pieces in a drunken stupor, they will most definitely break off.

I'd say either pin mount individual pieces of white acrylic on there, or use a full piece of clear acrylic with vinyl in front cut to shape. I don't think this one is as hard as the lit one

Nothing wrong with someone that wants to have 'fun' with their graphics! Ask Dan Sawatsky...Imagination corporation.....check him out! This one might work with a heat gun and PVC pipe, then just wrap green vinyl to create the dashes. DEFINITELY make it mounted on removable stakes, that drop into sleeves in the ground, I see NO way you could trim around it, the hedge will bury it and push it around.....

I have no suggestions as how to make but IMO it would look better attached to the deck above the bushes

How much money did they give you up front to design and brainstorm all this? Just curious

 

[highrolling24]

If this is a drinking establishment I can see one of my friends drinking to much or as he says just enough, trying to get on a bike that is in a f*@#ed up rack, and then falling over and impaling himself on these dashes made of .125 alum or acrylic pieces then get pissed and break them all as I am going out the front door lol

 

[rjssigns]

I’d just say no….

What, no taste for adventure? I'd do it. Downside is it would be very very expensive.

 

[signbrad]

Cool

 

[rjssigns]

How's that the downside?

Pretty sure the client would have a bout of apoplexy after seeing my quote.

You already wasted too much time on this. Move on
