Don’t break your back maintaining your signs—get break away posts, instead!

Our square sign posts make replacing old signs or repairing damaged signs a total breeze. Upon impact, the top post will break off, leaving the base still embedded in the ground. Thus, the same base can be used multiple times; there’s no need to dig up the whole structure whenever a sign needs to be refreshed. And the posts’ square shapes and evenly drilled holes allow signs to be posted facing any direction. Use this feature to hang multiple signs at once or just rotate a single sign whenever necessary.

The telescoping design also makes it possible to attach the signs to a post BEFORE installing them in the desired area. This means that a single person can easily install a sign on their own. It also means no more stretching and straining to adjust those final, high-up bolts!

How to Use

Depending upon the surface in which the sign is to be planted, break away posts can be installed by hand or using power tools. The larger anchor piece should be buried with the top 1”-2” exposed, while the smaller post should be attached to the sign and then inserted 6”-8” inside the base.

Please note that, while the posts listed on this page are specifically designed to form a multi-piece, break away setup, they can also be repurposed to work as a single post installation system. To view Transline’s full selection of sign posts and related accessories, refer to our product catalog.
