Underwater Groundwork

    Hi Folks,

    I'm a long time boardsie, but first time posting here in this section.

    I own a sign company and we've been asked by Local golf club looking to place some small 450mm*450mm 'Keep Away' signs (mounted on approx 8ft posts) in a beach/rocks area.

    At high tide the sea will come in to where the poles are so need the signage to stand up to the elements. The Atlantic Ocean can be a pretty mean beast in the winter.

    Has anyone any advice on how the groundwork should be done?

    Old tyre, fill with concrete and cast your Galvanised steel pole into it, then bury it in the sand.
    not real good architecture but it should hold and if it doesnt its easy and cheap to replace

    That counts for nothing in this forum and being a mod will get you no favours either. Now what was it you wanted to know? ;)

    The cheap and easy option is mentioned above but there is always an element of visual acceptance with these things especially if it is an amenity area. Fairly permanent solution is to dig down with a mini digger and concrete/plate/bolt the supporting posts for the signs. Might just be a wee bit expensive when you take all into account especially if you are tendering a price.
