• Maintenance free. It can save maintenance cost during its long service life.

Square steel sign post

Square sign post is the most flexible and stable type among all the steel sign post. It has superior torsional stability and telescoping ability. Made of high quality square pipe, the square steel sign post has high strength to be used in the heavy duty applications. The square pipe will be treated in hot dipped galvanized or powder coated to improve the corrosion and rust performance and extend service life.
